I have always found it very interesting to imagine the stories behind some of the richest and dormant
$BTC wallets. Some of them belong to early miners who sadly (but thank you) lost their private keys.
There are a couple of those on the top 100 richest addresses. Others are not so anonymous like the 1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF address, holding 80k
#BTC . The address of the famous Mt Gox hacker who transferred 80k coins to this address and never touched them again (some speculate he lost the keys).
And of course the address 198aMn6ZYAczwrE5NvNTUMyJ5qkfy4g3Hi holding 8k BTC belonging to the famous bitcoin guy who through his hard drive in the trash.
But the one(s) more mysterious to me are 6 wallets. 6 wallets that were all created on May 4 of 2011 (enter Star Wars memes) and in about 2 to 3 am received EXACTLY 10k each. Whoever sent them never touched them again.
The addresses are:
1f1miYFQWTzdLiCBxtHHnNiW7WAWPUccr
1BAFWQhH9pNkz3mZDQ1tWrtKkSHVCkc3fV
14YK4mzJGo5NKkNnmVJeuEAQftLt795Gec
1P1iThxBH542Gmk1kZNXyji4E4iwpvSbrt
1ucXXZQSEf4zny2HRwAQKtVpkLPTUKRtt
1CPaziTqeEixPoSFtJxu74uDGbpEAotZom
The transfers come from multiple different addresses. Some addresses got a big chunk of almost 10k btc (after a test transaction). Other addresses got 50BTC on each transaction (138 transactions of 50 each), coming from different addresses that had earned those 50
#bitcoin via mining. Others got transactions of different amounts in a short period of time.
Some people speculate these 6 addresses belong to the Winklevosses brothers. Others go even further and say they could be Satoshiâs inheritance to his children.
Would be awesome if any of you had more information about these addresses and the transactions. Maybe some crypto detective can shed some light on this (Iâm definitely not one of them).
