Satoshi Nakamoto is back? A strange transaction took place in the bitcoin network

By Kluma | InterestingCrypto | 20 May 2020


50 BTC, which were mined a month after the launch of the first cryptocurrency blockchain, came into motion after 11 years. At that time, only a few people were engaged in mining, including the Creator of the main digital coin.

Today, on may 20, there was a transaction for 50 BTC, which were extracted in February 2009. At that time, the coin's blockchain was about a month old. At that time, only a few people were engaged in mining it, among them was hall Finney (died August 28, 2014), known as the first recipient of the cryptocurrency, as well as its Creator under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.

The transfer was made from a wallet that was issued on block 3654. Before it, only 41 blocks contained transactions, the remaining 3613 remained empty. From the launch of the BTC network to the appearance of this address, 97 transfers were made, excluding transactions with a block reward.

On may 11, halving took place on the block 630,000 in the bitcoin network. The reward for the extracted block was halved to 6.25 BTC. The last block before halving was obtained by the f2pool pool. In the transaction with which the miner receives remuneration, he included a message with the headline of the newspaper NYTimes on April 9, 2020, that the US Federal reserve allocated $2.3 trillion to support the economy. This is a reference to a message that Satoshi Nakamoto left in the Genesis block of bitcoin: "the Times on January 3, 2009, the Chancellor is on the edge for a second Bank bailout."
