Something wild just happened in the Bitcoin world. Two Casascius physical bitcoins—those legendary collector's items from crypto's early days—just woke up after sleeping for over 13 years. We're talking about 2,000 BTC that haven't moved since they were first loaded.
For context, Casascius coins were created by Mike Caldwell back when Bitcoin was still a nerdy experiment. These brass coins had actual BTC embedded in them, sealed with a hologram. Most collectors never redeemed them because breaking the seal destroys the collectible value.
But someone just cashed out. At today's prices, that's roughly $180 million worth of Bitcoin suddenly back in circulation. The timing raises questions—why now? Did the original owner finally decide to cash in? Was it an inheritance situation? Or did someone crack a long-lost private key?
The crypto community is already buzzing. Massive wallet movements like this often signal something—maybe a major sell-off coming, maybe just an OG finally taking profits after holding through multiple bull runs. Either way, when wallets older than some high schoolers suddenly activate, people pay attention.
This isn't the first time ancient Bitcoin wallets have stirred, but 2,000 BTC moving at once? That's not pocket change, even by whale standards.
