Two 50 BTC block rewards mined in September 2010 were transferred one after another within minutes. They’re now worth $6.9 million—nearly 1.15 million times their value at the time. These zero-cost coins moved just as BTC fell to a 12-week low, down 4.7% in 24 hours. I see four possible motives: a transfer to an exchange, a custody migration, inheritance of private keys, or a precursor to selling. The transfers were only minutes apart, which looks more like a batch operation than someone casually sorting out an inheritance. BTC still leads today with $2 billion in trading volume, followed by USDC at $1.9 billion—funds are seeking safety. If these ancient coins hit the market, the psychological impact would be far greater than the $6.9 million itself. $BTC
