A recent case of a long-term Bitcoin holder moving 2000 BTC highlights Bitcoin's potential as a long-term investment tool.
Unusual Bitcoin Whale Movement
On November 14 at 19:45, an unusual movement was recorded by The Bitcoin Historian, indicating that at least 2000 Bitcoins were transferred to Coinbase, suggesting the holder might be preparing to sell. Sources link this movement to a Bitcoin whale that held onto the coins for around 14 years.
Massive Gain of 151,989,283%
In 2010, when the coins were acquired, a Bitcoin was valued at $0.06, giving a total value of approximately $120 for 2000 BTC. Currently, the price of Bitcoin stands at $91,193.63, bringing the total value of these BTC to $182,387,260, representing a 151,989,283% increase. For comparison, gold, a traditional asset, grew only 111.61% in the same period, highlighting Bitcoin's unique growth.
Record Bitcoin Prices Amid Political Changes
In the past week, Bitcoin has risen notably by 19.1% following the election of pro-Bitcoin candidate Donald Trump as the US president. This has positively impacted the entire crypto market, including top currencies such as BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, and even meme coins like Dogecoin. Since November 5, when BTC was priced at $67,782.21, it has grown by approximately 34.53%, with a 3.7% increase in the last 24 hours.
The whale's historic move underscores Bitcoin's unmatched potential for wealth creation in the long term.
