The fact that these coins are some of the first mined and have never moved lead many to believe the wallet could be owned by the creator of bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Whether today's transaction means he is alive or not is still up for debate though as there is no guarantee it was him that actually owned the wallet in the first place.
Plus, even if it was his wallet, someone could have gained access to the wallet for the first time just recently...
Either way, it's a big development in the crypto industry and likely why bitcoin tanked a few minutes ago...
Stay informed my friends.
