futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-10 06:30:38

As MarketWatch reports, each Bitcoin was worth just 78 cents back when the unknown buyer purchased 20,000 tokens in 2011 for just under $16,000. Due to the digital currency's inexorable rise over the subsequent years, the extremely patient owner of the two "Sleeping Beauty" wallets where the Bitcoin was stored now holds more than $2 billion worth — a
