dormant addresses are waking up?

[kayvie]

It's about 8 years already passed away now the owner remembered that he had some BTC around 3000. He wants to exchange them now?

Oh no, did the year died? LOL!
Anyway, OP mentioned that the funds were transferred and didn't sell.

OP just made a mistake, it's not a big deal

It's about 8 years already passed away now the owner remembered that he had some BTC around 3000. He wants to exchange them now?

Moreover, that person or group surely a long term holder, imagine that he missed or didn't sold his bitcoin when it's on ATH last 2017. That profit he could get tho. Or he really have a lot of bitcoin keeping on different wallets. Envy those guys, erffff.

For any reason, missing the highest ATH last 2017 was planned I think. A group or a certain person was really planning for maximizing his profit by waiting for the highest possible price of bitcoin.

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?

What are your opinions?

There are so many points to actually analyse this from, the Bitcoins were moved out to another wallet probably for sales or to a more secured wallet for safer keeping. If the owners bought those Bitcoins 8years back, then they might actually trying to take some profits. If it was owned by an organisation orca group of persons, maybe their agreed holding period has reached and they are sharing it off.

Wow it's a huge of money especially if the owner of this addresses is/are not aware of it and they just remembered it recently.

The owners of that addresses are very lucky that they bought Bitcoin last 2011 and let it sit for 8 years. But if I were them 2017 is the best time for it to cash out as it was the peak of the market.

[iparktur]

And if we assume that everything is much simpler?
If someone (or several people) found a way to open old addresses and now "pours" from old addresses to new ones.
In order not to cause panic and suspicion, it simply “pours” these funds to their new addresses without cashing out?
And when the "right" time comes, then will cash out OR will cash out gradually.

[MrFreeDragon]

One more version: the owner of these wallets probably was in prison since 2012-2013 till now. And that prison actually made a good thing for him - he was not able to sell his crypto assets. And now, after 5-7 years in prison, he is free and rich

Lol...this could be more of blessing in disguise. Turning the negative to positive.

Well, I strongly believe that something would have made the hodler not to have access to the passwords because he or she would have been tempted to sell off before this time.

[Gotumoot]

It is possible that these wallets were once owned by investors in 2013, I think the reason for this is that the lost private key has been recovered.
Considering the opportunities they were supposed to sell in 2017. That didn't sell out because they were looking for a copy of the missing Private Key.

Probably they missed selling their bitcoin in 2017 ATH and now they don't want to miss another chance at least selling at $10K is not a bad bargain considering the fact that those bitcoin were bought in 2011 at the early stages of bitcoin ie early adopter.

Surprisingly this news can be taken as a double edged sword having both benefits and disadvantages. Maybe he was an early adopter who just doesn't trust Cryptocurrencies anymore and is ready to flush all of this in market to create a huge slump or maybe someone who just transferred some money due to security concerns with his previous address maybe he decided to transfer to Segwit or something. I think overthinking upon this issue really won't help we can't do anything other than just waiting.

[pundit]

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.

Agreed to some extent that owner of these Bitoins may have tired of holding these BTC and sold it off but I think we all are positive about BTC price movement and we are expecting it to reach at new heights sooner of later, hodler might be in the same state, if he had hold it for 8 years then what is the problem in holding it for next 2-3 years. If he is worried about price decrease he could have sold half the amount. Yes if he has found some better investment option than BTC, it seems logical.

[Genemind]

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. 

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.

These things are possible because we really don't know the reason for the owner. As for me, it might be his plan to keep his bitcoins for years or he might have forgotten the private keys or his holdings since having crypto before isn't a big deal due to its price. Whatever the reason is, the owner is still lucky that he still has his BTC's until now. Although he missed the chance of selling during the last bull run, he will still be able to grab the next chance.

Yes its strange that it is has been opened now, but how do you find them? Does some of that wallet belongs to you? If not I have a feeling that someone has an access on it, maybe that address has a connection to each other and someone crack the keys and opened it. Or maybe it is in the same cloud and then someone hacks the way on it and then it happens .

[Dabs]

I didn't look at all of them, just a few, but many of them simply transferred from one legacy address to another legacy address. One of them transferred from a legacy address to a native segwit address.

Well it cant really be avoided for majority of us would really got jealous or envy on what they do possess. We wouldn't able to know

on whats behind those dormant address goes to active but doesn't being moved out but one things for sure that the owner/s of those wallets
do remember out that they are holding something that do talks about millions of dollars.

[alyssa85]

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.

This. It's likely to be an early miner that remembered they had coins in a wallet on their old computer in their attic. It's not a huge amount of coins, so unlikely to have affected either the dump or the subsequent pump.
