Wallet with over 110,000 bitcoin remained untouched for four years – now someone is moving the funds

A feature of bitcoin is that all transactions are public for anyone to see. This also means that you can track the transaction history of a specific bitcoin.

Recently, someone has started using a large wallet that contains 111 114 bitcoins. The bitcoin wallet has been untouched since 2014, but now someone has started transferring parts of the crypto assets to different crypto exchanges.

This has sparked speculation on the Reddit forum that large volumes of bitcoin will be dumped into the market. It has also been speculated that the large bitcoin wallet is suspected of being linked to Silk Road, a marketplace you previously could find on darknet.
