Bitcoin wallet that has been inactive for 8 years has come to life - the fortune has grown from $ 6,600 to $ 16,370,000

From time to time, unknown holders activate their old wallets that have been dormant for years. Such an incident occurred at the beginning of this week.

A sharp activation of forgotten Bitcoin wallets is observed in the fourth quarter of 2021. The last case was recorded on December 21. The unknown "woke up" the wallet, in which there have been no activities since 2013.

There are 321 Bitcoin on the balance. For 8 years, the value of assets has grown by almost 2500 times. If in 2013 the price of 321 coins was about $ 6,600, now, when Bitcoin is trading at $ 51,000, the wallet owner's fortune is estimated at $ 16,370,000.

As we wrote above, this quarter saw a sharp surge in the activation of old wallets and, accordingly, an increase in withdrawn funds. In November and December, unknown holders began using more than a dozen cryptocurrency wallets that had been sleeping for years.
