$12M in 'Satoshi Era' Bitcoins Move: 21 Block Rewards from 2010 Spent After a Decade of Slumber

On early Sunday morning around 1:38:02 a.m. (New York time), approximately 20 blocks with coinbase rewards from 2010 were spent in one block. 1,000 BTC was then consolidated into a single address before moving again. The massive movement of the decade-old ‘sleeping’ bitcoins was caught by an onchain transaction parser and the coins were spent in block 652,204. Another 2010 block was spent in block 652,229 making it a total of 21 decade-old coinbase rewards moved on October 11, 2020.

“As we are now in the middle of the so-called new ‘Cold War’ between China and the United States, it’s very important for China to be the first major country deploying a proper electronic currency,” says Oriol Caudevilla, a specialist on China’s financial and banking systems. “China has never been able to fight against the US for monetary supremacy, as the U.S. dollar has been the main currency [for global transactions] for decades and it’s almost impossible to change this.”

En el momento que las fees suben de precio, todo el sistema se va al traste,

1- Porque para que unos pocos puedan mover grandes fortunas a través de una plataforma, sin importarle los costes de transacción, el resto que es una gran mayoría, digamos que mas del 90% de los usuarios, dejaría de usar esa plataforma por resultar muy cara y teniendo un sinfín de otras blockchains que son capaces de mover fondos, con fees muy competitivos.

2- Pero el desastre es mucho mayor, cuando entiendes el daño que se le hace a la estructura económica, de todos los modelos de negocio, que están basados en los micropagos. En el momento que suben las fees paralizas todo ese sector económico.
Por suerte hasta el momento ha sido un sector muy pequeño, pero si no tenemos esto en cuenta, y le damos las garantías suficientes a los inversores, desarrolladores, etc, es muy probable que ese sector no se desarrolle con fuerza.
