In September 2026, a Bitcoin wallet that had never been moved since 2011 was activated and transferred 40 BTC. When these coins were bought at the time, they cost only about $120; after 15 years, they were worth approximately $3.09 million.
For up to 15 years, this address was like a “fossil” on the blockchain. Its owner may have long forgotten the transaction—or believed the coins were already worthless. But once Bitcoin’s price reaches a certain threshold, “forgetting” turns into “loss,” and “sleeping” turns into something that needs to be awakened.
If VIRUS’s 62 million addresses ever gain real value, what they will face is a large-scale replica of the same psychological mechanism.
The only difference is that Bitcoin’s dormant addresses are “naturally produced”—someone bought the coins and then forgot them. But VIRUS’s 62 million addresses were “manufactured”—someone deliberately put assets into these addresses, then waited for the day when the controllers of those addresses would be awakened by the price.
