Blockchain Bites: Satoshi’s Sword of Damocles

boss

Top Shelf Yesterday, some of the earliest mined bitcoin moved after more than a decade of dormancy. Whale Alert – a popular, mostly-automated Twitter account that tracks major crypto transactions – broadcasted the message across the cryptoverse, saying 40 coins mined in the first month of the network’s operation had transferred from a “possible #Satoshi owned wallet,” referring to Bitcoin’s long silent creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.  This unfounded connection – based on the age of the bitcoin, and the fact that they had never moved – caused a minor market stir.

Once again, I feel the need to reiterate that this…
