forget about the spammy inputs of small amounts that were not spent..

you will notice that around the same time of the spend. someone has moved a few old blockrewards

all mined on the same day in november 2009 and all spent in the same couple days in april 2022
where by majority of it is split up and some go to services and mixed. but about 100btc join back together meaning the owner consolidated his coins again

Man, it never bores me to see such events happening. It really amazes me how people have such great self control in holding onto these coins. There can also be other variables as well like the owner must already be super rich or at least to a point where he doesn't need to compromise his holdings. Another would be losing access and just regaining it. Then there's the possibility of forgetting about it and just remembering recently which is somehow pretty rare of hard to believe. Lastly, the high belief for BTC's potential.

Whichever the case, I just can't imagine the feeling though, buying bitcoins back then at auch a cheap price on a whim just for the sake of trying out a new thing and ending up being a millionaire a couple of years later. Talk about real luck.

Does someone else as well get bothered by these whale alerts? There are few things that I think can be wrong with these :
1. They attack the privacy of the whales
2. They make the investors panic
3. Might be a key component of manipulation and panic selling
4. It gives no clear information about moving or selling this might give rise to the fake alerts meant for just making people more crazzzzyyyy
At the same time one have to understand that bitcoins is all about freedom, if a person decides to sell their coins, it should be their opinion and at the same time this way the price will be down a bit and everyone knows it's an excellent opportunity for buying.
Let's leave those whales alone focus on the ones like microstrategy as well who are very well versed with being a whale and are providing positive feedback to the community regarding buying/selling/holding the bitcoins.

I find whale alerts a great tools for creating panic. And nothing more. As people advance from newbie to (hopefully) more knowledgeable, they get bored of random alerts telling.. that somebody may or may not do something (my guess would be that's usually consolidating/reorganizing funds).

Attack to privacy? As long as the address' owner is not known, it's fine. And one knows that we're on a public ledger. I see these alert tools as "blockchain paparazzi" Grin

What they provide has basically no value, but the plebs "want to know".

However, nothing we could do. We can ignore them, but as long as newbies continue to come, there's still "market" for that.

If these bitcoin are old utxo that were actually bought before the hardfork, then I think he deserves some other coin hardfork like BCH, BSV, BTG and that's the double profit that bitcoin holders get. He actually became a millionaire without even selling his bitcoin ^{[only selling the coin hardfork].}

The thing is that he will have to be extremely careful if he does that, because he can too easily lose all those Bitcoins for being too greedy and not enough informed.
So better not hurry with that, no matter if the shitcoins may turn to dust until he figures out how to do it right.

Quote from: so98nn on April 07, 2022, 09:12:48 AM

I've seen this kind of transactions too many times; they're advertising this or that, I think that one of the first was an ad for Monero Grin

But if you want to make the advertiser happy and dig deeper, nothing stops you (just please don't advertise whatever useless thing to us).

I personally wouldn’t even bother with those shitcoins that are worth relatively little anyway compared to the value of all the BTC in these two transactions. The 100 forked BitcoinsTrash that have the highest value at the moment are worth just over $30 000, and the other shitcoins are not worth mentioning at all.

If he's around here, I'd really like to know how he can keep his heart from beating too fast when he sees the fact that he's a millionaire. Cheesy

Even if he were here, it would be unrealistic to expect him to share his story with us - no one here is talking about how much BTC he owns, although I know of one member who had about 40 000 BTC and didn’t hide it. Besides, maybe a man is not a classic materialist who is excited to have a lot of money, although there are few such people in today's world.

Holy Jesus! That is a lot of money. Love hearing these kind of stories. Millions of dollars just like that. If he/she sold it all at once, he/she isn't really a smart person since that kind of activity could attract a lot of unnecessary attention from negative individuals.

If I were in his/her position, I would sell small amounts slowly and steadily over time through various reliable channels.

$0.08 per BTC, ahhhh I only wish I was that early. I mean I’m lucky to have started my journey in 2014 but even just two years earlier would have been so much better. I guess the OP is a lesson to everybody, the best time to but bitcoin was in the past, the next best time is NOW.

Even with that you can not be sure you still would be holding it till now if you bought before 2014. Maybe the OP did not sell till now because he did not have access to the wallet until recently. Like people argue on a case like this that in such the holder could have been incarcerated or could have been in prison or something. I do not think it is easy for someone with just 100 bitcoin not to have been tempted to sell any bit before now if that is only what they have.

Yeah of course, the only problem is how do you know when bitcoin is at ATH? Grin

In the past I sold some other cryptos (not bitcoin) when they reach a new ATH, in a matter of weeks they did another 3-4x, so looking back everything looks easy and clear. At this point I simply sell when I'm happy with the amount of $ I'm getting for the sale, if after I sale it goes up again, well, it happens, I simply try not to think about it anymore.

Like you said, there is no point in thinking about the coins you sell. I own BTCitcoin at a much earlier stage and i consider any price i sell as just profits and i do not regret any of my decisions. I regret some of the alts i am holding because i waited for the long haul back in 2016 and majority of the coins did not rally after their first push and hence i do not hold alts for the long term.

Old wallets which were dormant started waking up for the past one year and this is the latest one and expect more to be active in the coming months Wink

A 50 million percent gain. At the time around 2010, Bitcoin value was about $0.08 which worth more than 53.7M at 43k levels

Man, I wonder what the person is feeling right now. Does he perhaps forgot that he invested and HODLed around 100 BTCs currently; or was he waiting for the perfect opportunity to sell and activate such coins? A whopping 50 million percent gain is just unreal- these things only happen to cryptocurrencies which are just extremely volatile.

It makes you think- what would happen in a few years from now? Will we experience the same gain (or at least relative to) if we HODL our coins let's say 10-20 years from now? Well one thing is for sure, better to HODL at least some of your coins and treat them as long-term investments for your children or family to use.

These type of things increase the "fear" part of it, and I am totally fine about that, the more people fear and sell, the lower it will get, the lower it gets the more I buy and then people realize that they could make money from it and get greedy again and that's when I sell. This fear/greed indicator is really good, it allows you to realize that people are making wrong moves with emotions and fear is not something that should cause you to sell your crypto, unfortunately people still do that.

Hopefully we will see a lot more people realize that when it goes down, that means a good thing and not a bad thing and dormant address selling their coins means it is actually a good thing that we got rid of that.

Besides the 100 BTC which comes with some good Return on Investment (ROI) based on today's rates , do these come with all the other forked coins that have happened over the years, say for example Bitcoin Cash etc or this will depend on where and how these coins were stored??

I guess someone's pretty happy getting out of a prison as a millionaire

If it was me, I would have probably sold that BTC looong time ago for a few thousand bucks.

The amount of the 100 BTC is a lot for anyone under any condition, and the 12 years of hold is pretty much a long time for anyone I bet anyone would sell the bitcoin multiple times during all these 12 years because having the spirit of hold and being patient during all these years is not something that everyone has it since I have much information about the owner of this wallet I guess that's a wallet that it was lost years and the owner just found it somewhere.

You're trolling, aren't ya? Cheesy

In case you're not: The 'Coinbase' company was founded in 2012.
Ever wondered how they came up with their name?

A coinbase transaction is the transaction that grants a miner their block reward & the transaction fees.

Quote from: https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/coinbase-transaction

[...]
A coinbase transaction is the first transaction in a block. Miners use it to collect the block reward, and any additional transaction fees.

It’s like putting your details on a self-addressed envelope so you can collect prize winnings.

Those tiny transactions going to what seem like Bitcoin addresses containing words, are just spam. Those UTXOs are unspendable since the addresses are actually invalid.

I was just making the story out of those clues. But its good to have detailed explanation above to understand what it is actually.
Yes, I knew that Coinbase was founded in 2012 and mentioned the same above. However, I was just trying to figure out whether they already had a plan to invest in future exchange and wallet program.

Wow, I did not know about this! Thanks for sharing this. I will read more about it.

The fact that I myself mine, I never read in-depth to understand the first transaction in the block are called coinbase! But I am not a technical guy, I just read and build things. This is surely interesting topic to learn about. I think I will read in depth and also make topic about it in the beginners section. Nice idea! Thank you.

Don't you worry about making mistakes, or post something stupid. It will happen to each one of us in our Bitcoin Journey. Sometimes it's better to learn the hard way to let the lessons go in hard. For plebs like us, it won't be the last lesson that we learn, the hard way. Cool

That's a fun address. "Cue", "Dad"? I imagine this person has more than this, so might actually have chose to move from this for funsies. If you were a ridiculous multimillionaire with many old addresses, you might actually be so flippant. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

These were mined in November 2009. That makes the value of them when mined about 1 cent, not 8 cents, if you were even trying to sell it then.

That's definitely quite the time to hold onto these for. I doubt that there are more than a handful of people who even transacted then.

But is there any explanation on how the spam address is generated? Like you said they are just out of spammy intention! Like what is exact purpose of all those addresses? Why anyone would want such addresses to send the coins. Or am I looking at it in wrong way?

Yes, someone's advertising for something that appears to be called memo dot sv.
You can just send a transaction with a small amount of BTC to '1Lets1xxxx1use1xxxxxxxxxxxy2EaMkJ', as well. It's some random string starting with 1 and then a valid checksum.

They want to do it because they know people are looking at that wallet (e.g. to see if whale transactions are happening) and then they see this ad and might visit the website. It happened on the forum donation addresses as well.

Wow. You got answers to everything isn’t it. Knowledge is true power. Very impressive Wink

Yes saw the second transaction on Forum donation, it’s reflecting exactly same addresses as mentioned in our discussion. So the valid checksum make sure the transaction is completed and it doesn’t fail.

Exactly what I was doing when I saw those addresses for the first time.
That’s why I went into detective mode as per @stompix. Grin

So it’s just way to advertise and attract the stalker of that address. Makes complete sense since I was doing the same until now.

Added to do list: learn about memo dot sv.
