Anonymous Bitcoiner Sends $1.2M Bitcoin to Satoshi Nakamoto

An anonymous crypto trader has sent $1.2 million worth of Bitcoin to Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, which was used for mining the first genesis block in 2009. The total BTC held in the wallet is estimated to be under 100, with the initial reward of 50 bitcoins Nakamoto received for mining the first genesis block. The recent transaction has sparked speculation within the crypto community, with some suggesting that the BTC developer has woken up after disappearing from the scene for over a decade. Some experts believe that the transaction might serve as an effort to expose the identity of the Bitcoin's creator using the newly established US tax regulations.
