A month ago, namely on
20/09/2024, an event occurred that can be entered into the
Guinness Book of Records.
From 5 bitcoin addresses, one person transferred 250 BTC (50 from each address).
To date, this has been the
longest holding of accounts on blockchain addresses on the Bitcoin network.
These were 5 accounts:

Let me remind you:
03/01/2009 – Satoshi Nakamoto generated the first Bitcoin block (received 50 BTC).
10/01/2009 – The second to generate a block was the late Hal Finney (received 50 BTC).
12/01/2009 – First transaction, Satoshi transferred 10 BTC to Hal Finney.
Satoshi Nakamoto and Hal Finney were the first to start mining Bitcoin, so there is a very high probability that these accounts were created by Satoshi Nakamoto himself.
It is surprising that few people pay attention to this outstanding event.
For people who do not know how the public blockchain works, I will remind you how easy it is to verify this information. For example, I will show only one address.

It was recognized as the
world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, developed as a solution for financial transactions without the need for intermediaries. This project, started in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, followed earlier unsuccessful attempts to create digital currencies.
Bitcoin also holds the title of the
most valuable cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization reaching $816.69 billion in March 2022. Notably, the Guinness World Records mentions events like the
first commercial Bitcoin transaction in 2010, when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz purchased two pizzas for 10,000 BTC — now celebrated as
Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Additionally, the record book acknowledges
El Salvador as the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021.
