Long-dormant Bitcoin wallet springs to life after 13 years of silence. A massive 909.38 BTC transfer—worth approximately $84.6M at current prices—just moved into a fresh address.

What makes this notable? When these coins first landed in that wallet over a decade ago, Bitcoin was trading below $7. That's roughly a 13,900x return.

No panic sells. No incremental exits. Just a holder who believed in the long game and let compounding time do the heavy lifting. This kind of conviction—hodling through bear markets, regulatory crackdowns, and countless competing narratives—tells you something about conviction in Bitcoin's core thesis. Whether this transfer signals a strategic move or simply household management after 13 years remains to be seen, but the on-chain message is crystal clear: the strongest hands still believe.

Whoa, this move is incredible. 13 years ago, spending a few thousand yuan, and now directly over 80 million yuan in hand? Truly amazing, this is what you call faith. Something's off. Suddenly there's activity now... Could it be a dump? Or just someone transferring wallets, who knows? This guy is really ruthless. Even in a bear market, he didn't move a single hair. If it were me, I would have cut losses and run long ago. Talking about the strongest hands, I think the strongest is the mindset. Being able to withstand 13 years of various FUD without touching the market—that kind of resilience is impressive. Seeing this transfer record, I suddenly realize that the ones who truly make big money are always those forgotten wallets. Once this transaction moves, it will probably trigger another wave of discussion... Those monitoring this address must be nervous.

Really, this is what true faith looks like... 13 years without moving a single cent, what does that mean? It means they've seen through everything long ago. Wait, bought at $7? Oh my god, how many $7s would that be... I dare not calculate.

13 years without touching this means that this is not the original owner... surely he must have recovered this wallet a long time ago. BTC reached a cost of 125 thousand dollars per unit, and only now has this wallet moved 🤔

Really, seeing this old coin from 13 years ago start to move, I get emotional... If that guy hadn't moved this coin, he would have been financially free by now, right? Why bother with all this hassle? But honestly, this is clearly a hand that can't be liquidated. If it were me, I would have been liquidated two or three times already. Once leverage is used, it's game over. They just want to hold, truly admirable... I wish I had known earlier.

Haven't moved it in 13 years... This is true HODLing, our role model

actually, if you run a basic stochastic analysis on dormant wallet reactivations, the sample size is statistically insignificant. correlation ≠ causation. people keep romanticizing hodl narratives when they should be examining the endogenous factors driving this specific transfer.
