This GUY buy $BTC at $3.88 🥳 yes you heard it write , not a TYPO. A ghost from Bitcoin’s earliest era just resurfaced.



After 14 years of complete silence, the wallet 1Au1uZ suddenly came back online and moved 1,000 #btc , worth roughly $89M to a new address: bc1qfa6etre72p545dg08rxshvdthe0x2nnwjt0ncu.

To put this into perspective, this whale first received the same 1,000 #BTC on December 21, 2011, when Bitcoin was trading at $3.88.

Back then, the entire, was valued at $3,883, the price of a mid-range laptop. Fourteen years later, that untouched fortune is now worth nearly $90 million.

Whales waking up after a decade-plus are extremely rare, and movements like this always spark speculation:

Lost keys finally recovered?

Early miner securing holdings?

OTC deal? Custodial transfer? Tax restructuring?

Or simply someone who decided it was time?

All we know for sure is this: A wallet from Bitcoin’s prehistoric age is active again, and 1,000 BTC just stepped into 2025.
