Popular crypto tracking Twitter bot Whale Alert has detected and activated a Bitcoin wallet that has been dormant for over nine years.
It contains 791 BTC, which is the equivalent of $26,147,621 in fiat at today's price of the flagship cryptocurrency.
The wallet was set up just after the legendary creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, went off the radar. But the shadow of his presence was still in the air.
