At the end of 2021, another forgotten wallet "came to life". An unknown holder was able to withdraw 500 Bitcoin coins 10 years after the purchase.
During this time, the state has grown several thousand times. In mid-summer 2011, an unknown person purchased 500 Bitcoin for about $ 7,800. In late December 2021, he was able to withdraw all funds.
At the exchange rate at the time of the transaction, the cost of the cryptocurrency was approximately $ 23,500,000. For what reason the user did not withdraw assets all this time is unknown.
