Popular blockchain sleuth Whale Alert, which tracks down large cryptocurrency transactions, has reported that around an hour ago, a whale that was last active in the post-Satoshi years has just come back with his wallet active again after fourteen years of dormancy.
Meanwhile, over the past two days, the world’s largest cryptocurrency has lost in price nearly 7% but then managed to pare its losses a little.
