A user who purchased BTC when Bitcoin<\/a> prices were just a few hundred dollars has finally made a move after years.<\/p>\n

According to blockchain data, a 10-year Bitcoin user transferred coins purchased years ago to another address after midnight today.<\/p>\n

Transaction records show that this user purchased 620 Bitcoin on November 25, 2013, and another 383.9 Bitcoin on March 13, 2014.<\/p>\n

The Bitcoin price surpassed $1 in 2011 and reached $29.6 on June 8, 2011. However, the subsequent market downturn pushed the price down to around $5. Bitcoin had a quiet 2012 and entered 2013 at $13.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin surpassed the $100 level in April of the same year and broke the $200 barrier in October. In November 2013, Bitcoin surpassed $1,000 and closed the year at $732.<\/p>\n

This user, who had been inactive for 10 years, sent a total of 1,004.4 Bitcoin to an unknown address. At the time of the transaction, these were worth approximately $56.9 million.<\/p>\n

Could It Be Mt. Gox Related?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mt. Gox, the largest Bitcoin exchange of its time, was hacked in 2014 and lost approximately 950,000 Bitcoin, leading to its bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

The exchange managed to recover approximately 140,000 Bitcoin in the following years. The Mt. Gox bankruptcy trustee began returning coins to creditors yesterday.<\/p>\n
