dormant addresses are waking up?

[supika]

Hi,

All below addresses were emptied this year. Most of them in Sept. 2019. Around 2982 BTC in 21 addresses.
All addresses were first used in 2011, and dormant until now.
BCH is still there except 1 address.

No spending transactions on them so the public key was not known.
The owner he suddenly remembered after 8 years that he had some BTC?

Interesting. 2982 BTC is not a huge amount to influence the price of Bitcoin. But these are only what you have identified. More may have taken action.
I wonder that what is their purpose?

[dothebeats]

It seems as though someone immediately remembered that they have bitcoins and started sending them out somewhere else, or it could have been that some early adopters are now transferring their coins hence the movement by now. It could be a lot of things and this is not something new but apparently the timing is somewhat perfect and in-line with the recent pump that we've seen for bitcoin. Usually it goes the other way around but yeah, the movement has been a month or so ago that we don't know exactly what happened to those coins that were sent out.

What are your opinions?

It's surprising and alarming as well because I feel there is something really big which is been planned as these accounts have been active after so many years and I am sure 2982 bitcoins might not change the market situation but these are the only address which you have notified and there might be hundreds of other address as well and these might belong to one organization which is involved in manipulating the market. 

[ashmodeus]

well well, i dunno what behind the owner minds.
he do a mass sell right now, after 8 years, but on 2017 he absolutely see the prices is 2x higher than nowadays prices, and he just hodl it.
a simple reason :
probably he think the price will go higher ,but now, he seems tired for hodl and take action to sell. although , transactions are not carried out simultaneously.
but well , its just based from my opinion.

[YuginKadoya]

He might have planned this, remember there are most people that are interested in Bitcoin all of a sudden then wants to hold their Bitcoin for so many years maybe some on these address was just like that and how did you know it is only owned by 1 person only? we may never know that this is just a coincidence that the owner of this certain wallet started to be active again,

But let's just say it is a planted whale and it is to be used in a certain time but regarding the transaction is you had based on that maybe it is just one person after all, but this is just all speculation and I think we need further proof on it.

This is not strange. Why do you think it's manipulation? There can be many reasons for an old account to wake up.
I'll give you some:
The owner died and the family gained access to the money. The family may not care about bitcoin and just wants the money
The owner got sick and needs money for treatment.
The owner got sick and knows he/she doesn't have much time left so it's now or never.
The owner finally had enough of waiting.
The money is being moved from one address to another. Sometimes to segwit, sometimes to something else.
The owner got a better investment opportunity like a family company that is in need of money.

Even if the purpose was to sell those coins in the market what is stopping them as they own the coin and 2982 BTC might not be a huge amount of coins to influence in the market what if these coins are shifted to future exchanges like bitmex, you could manipulate the market with the amount.

One of the things I don't know is margin trading. But first we need to look at the daily margin trading volume to talk about it. I think this figure is too low even for margin trading.

Anyone who hodls may one day findd out that he needs some money. So, don't see anything suspicious.

What a huge needs then  
They can buy a small football club with that amount of BTC

What are your opinions?

The guy probably waited until the regulations were a little bit clearer. My guess is that m way back in 2011 their wasn't much regulatory guidance. I don't think the IRS, SEC, or CFTC gave much advice around this time. After all, Bitcoin would only be 2 years of age.
   Giving the owner of these address the benefit of the doubt, he is most likely an early investor.

[garryck]

What a huge needs then

Do we really know that they are connected? If yes - are we sure that that's one person and not a fund? If it's 10 people the amount is not so big. If it's 5 people - then every participant gets a little lower than an amount that is needed to buy some real estate and nice things and start little profitable business without caring much about fucking it up or getting up before 12 o'clock or doing things he or she doesn't want to.

[1Referee]

Anyone who hodls may one day findd out that he needs some money. So, don't see anything suspicious.

Not only that, but many old hands come to realization that holding a significant number of coins in one address isn't the best thing to do, so what happens is that they create new key pairs to have a safer distribution of coins, which shows how clueful they are. This largely explains why there are so many new addresses popping up with 500-1000BTC in them.

People always assume that coins will get sold once they start moving, but that isn't necessarily the case. Even if they are being sold, people are free to do with their coins whatever they want. There is no such a thing as an obligation to hold. The more old hands sell, the less wealth inequality there is within Bitcoin. Instead of one person owning thousands of coins, hundreds or even thousands of people will own a chunk of that person's stash.

As you are not the author of this collection (did not find these addresses by yourself in blockchain), it is always good style to make the reference to the original post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306983.msg52879592#msg52879592

However, thank you for transorming all the public keys to final addresses.

[vintages]

One question OP, how did you 'specifically' found this addresses?
I am guessing you have been monitoring it before now to know when the owner made this move.
Anyways, three particular thing is involved here;
1) Perhaps the owner suddenly remembered he had some certain amount of Bitcoin

2) The owner has been hodling since and probably finally decided to make use of the funds (Not sure why he didn't spend not even one when the price was 20k though)

3) Someone else got hold of the private key or assess to the funds. (I hope this is not the case here)

Yes and I think the answer to your 2nd guess would be that the owner believes that it would continue to grow since back then there are so many speculation and we all thought that it was going to continue.
And the third one would be a good one too we don't know if the real owner still knows about their  crypto wallet and might have forgotten about it.

What's the point? I don't get it. So grow up

I posted the info on a telegram group in 23 Oct. (me and drotika we are members in that group). drotika took the adressess and extracted the public keys and posted the info on the puzzle topic.
I have other 2700 dormant addresses and I'm monitoring their activity for months now.
I didn't had to transform anything from anything.

[Baofeng]

We will never know as bitcoin addresses doesn't have name attach to it. So we can speculation that the owner is a long term holder, or suddenly remembers his private key, or someone get ahold of an old desktop/laptop that contains a lot of bitcoin and was able to get the private key as well. That's the beauty of bitcoin though, the owner remains (psuedo) anonymous and it remains a mystery to all of us.

3000 BTC, not including the forked values goes to around 27-28 million bitcoin, and if that was to enter the market, I would have no doubt in my mind that there would be a lot of issues we'll see, especially on a high volume exchange if he doesn't decide to go OTC.

There are a lot of reasons why a couple of domart addresses could have woken up, there's also a pretty decent chance that they don't all belong to the same owner and it's just coincidence that they woke up together, but my brain tells me it's probably some even that prompted him/her to realized they have a stash of BTC.

I have a list with dormant addresses around 2700 and I'm monitoring their activity for personal reasons.
Few days back I checked the balance on all of them and I saw that the funds were moved for some.

We don't know if is one person or a group. Also we don't know if is the owner..but it has the private keys.
The funds were only moved to other addresses.

[malikusama]

May be they were waiting for this time since long? I don't think that suddenly they woke up and remembered their lost keys or wallets.

It's surprising and alarming as well because I feel there is something really big which is been planned as these accounts have been active after so many years and I am sure 2982 bitcoins might not change the market situation but these are the only address which you have notified and there might be hundreds of other address as well and these might belong to one organization which is involved in manipulating the market.  

 
Oh man  
I didn't find it suspicious or something like alarming/surprising, just relax.
