🐋 Bitcoin whale moves billions, chaos follows
A mysterious whale just moved billions in BTC, and crypto Twitter exploded. Two main theories: a hack, or the owner decided it’s finally time to tidy up. As usual, everyone’s guessing — Roger Ver? Silk Road? Satoshi? FBI?
Arkham leans toward routine security hygiene: shifting old Legacy wallets to modern bech32 — classic address upgrade. Not that juicy, but solid.
👀 But Charles Guillemet from Ledger dropped a twist: someone was spamming early Bitcoin wallets with OP_RETURN messages, pretending to be a law firm. The message? “Prove ownership by Oct 5 or your coins are fair game — our clients are waiting.”
Add a shady web form to the mix, and it starts to smell like bait. Maybe the whale just decided not to wait and moved it all before someone got clever.
Lesson here? Don’t sleep on your keys.
