The bitcoin that was just moved was mined on Feb. 9, 2009. The early bitcoin wallet contains a coinbase transanctions that generated the 50 BTC.
Some crypto experts claim that its Satoshi, while some others claim its not Satoshi. Changpeng Zhao of Binance has this to say;
“Relax guys. Much higher chance it is NOT Satoshi than it is. Although can’t be proven, this has happened a few times before.”
Anthony Pompliano claims that he doesn’t want to know who is Satoshi, “I don’t want to know who Satoshi is.”
It might still be Satoshi or maybe another town guy who has access to the early Bitcoin wallet. It still suggests that Satoshi may or not be alive.
