An ancient Bitcoin wallet just woke up from its slumber. We're talking about a stash of 1,000 BTC that's been sitting untouched for 13.1 years—since 2012.
Back then? Those coins were worth around $11,551. Today? They're valued at approximately $89.26 million. That's a 772,500% return for doing absolutely nothing.
These dormant address activations always get the market talking. Is it an early miner cashing out? Estate settlement? Or someone who finally cracked their old hard drive password? Nobody knows for sure, but one thing's certain—whoever controls that wallet is now sitting on a life-changing fortune.
This kind of movement reminds us how many Bitcoin from the early days are still out there, locked away in wallets whose owners may have forgotten they exist. Every activation tells a story.

Damn, coins from 13 years ago finally moved. This is what they call winning while lying down... Why the hell didn’t I think of it back then?

Damn, a coin from 13 years ago is still alive? This is the legendary Grayscale Diamond...

Another sleeping whale has awakened, I really envy these people who win just by lying down.
---
Is it possible that some miner just forgot they even had this?
---
$890,000 just lying there? I’m gonna lose it...
---
How lucky do you have to be, couldn’t even remember the password and then suddenly hit it big.
---
Every time I see news like this, I think of the coins I lost... it hurts.

Feels like opening a blind box, who knows when the next surprise will pop up.

nah this screams red flags all over... analyzed thoroughly and the timing here is sus. potential exploit vectors nobody's talking about yet, DYOR but that dormant address activation pattern matches common attack vectors i've documented. needs immediate attention from the security folks, fr fr.

Wow, hold tight to your ten million in real estate—this is what real passive income looks like.
