Bitcoin Whale’s Back: Moves $47M Like It’s Nobody’s Business 🐋💸

So, picture this: after dragging around 1,200 BTC like it was some ancient artifact from a 2015 attic, Mr. Big Whale decides, “Hey, why not toss another 500 BTC around?” Because, you know, when you’ve got millions just lying around, why not make them take a little stroll on Saturday?

That 2015 Crypto Whale Is Still Out Here Playing Hot Potato

Apparently, this deep-pocketed crypto beast bought those bitcoins back in 2015, when BTC was still in its awkward teen years at $374 a pop. Just yesterday, some sleuth named TopMob tells the world that 12 wallets, like some retired spies, woke up and moved 1,200 BTC. Today? Surprise! Another 500 BTC decides to join the party.

Fun fact: These 500 ho-hum BTC, scooped up by btcparser.com, were born the same day as their 1,200 cousins. Their spending habits scream “we’re related” louder than a family reunion with Aunt Gladys yelling across the room. We’re talking some fancy moves from P2PKH addresses sending gifts to Bech32 P2WPKH addresses. Yeah, sounds like a secret handshake, but it’s crypto-speak for “look at me being all technical and mysterious.”

Digging deeper, the saga traces back to the wallet “15X9r”, with a cool 1,000 BTC stash deposited way back in 2013 when BTC was basically pocket change at $117 per coin. Talk about an early adopter bragging right!

Now, about that original move loading “15X9r” with the grand thousand BTC? Turns out it involved Coinjoin — a blockchain’s version of a witness protection program. It’s like mixing all the ingredients in a crypto stew so no one’s quite sure who brought the potatoes. Sneaky, right? See for yourself.

So to wrap up this whale tale, the 1,200 BTC from yesterday and the 500 BTC today weren’t just your average dragging-around-the-wallet kind of moves. Nope, these showed off some next-level ninja privacy skills. Unlike your typical long-lost BTC relocation, they skipped the usual “same inputs, same outputs” karaoke track and went for a remix nobody saw coming. Blockchain drama? Oh yeah, it’s got it.
