A Bitcoin miner has discovered an old Bitcoin wallet containing a small fortune—worth $8 million.
According to a post on Bitcoin forum BitcoinTalk, a self-proclaimed Bitcoin "newbie" mined some Bitcoin using a personal computer back when it was possible to do so—before massive mining rigs took over. It appears they stumbled across the coin only recently and took to BitcoinTalk to find out what to do with the massive stash.

"I mined some bitcoin for a little bit, a long time ago; back when it was still possible to mine with GPU. I haven't been active here for a long time," they wrote on March 10, adding, "How do I move my BTC to sell?"
Several members of BitcoinTalk gave him some guidance. While the miner didn't specify, later that day a transaction was made moving 1,000 Bitcoin, worth $7.95 million at the time.
These coins were originally mined on August 24, 2010—suggesting they belonged to this poster. It's rare to see coins that have been stagnant for so long suddenly move.
But the stash was likely even bigger. Since the Bitcoin blockchain has been forked a number of times since 2010, the wallet also contained 1,000 Bitcoin Cash (BCH), 1,000 Bitcoin SV (BSV) and so on. Just these two coins, when combined, add an extra $475,000.
The markets are roiling—both traditional and crypto alike. Bitcoin has continued to slide this afternoon, falling to below $5,600 per coin. It’s now down nearly 30 percent on the day. The top cryptocurrency by market cap initially fell to as low as $5,900 during today’s early morning hours. It recovered to just above $6,000, but is now trending downwards as traders continue to sell. All in all, Bitcoin has lost close to $3,000 in value over the past week. On March 5, BTC was trading for $8,700...
"Thank you all for all the suggestions. It was overall a great return and the best welcome one can get!" he posted two days later.
The miner had pretty good timing. If they did sell the coins on the day, they would have made around $8 million. But if they had waited until earlier today, it would have been worth just half.
A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck near Mandalay, Myanmar, last Friday, leaving the immediate area devastated with at least 2,000 people dead and over 3,400 injured, with the number expected to rise as data from neighboring countries such as Thailand comes in. The 10-kilometer deep quake released energy comparable to hundreds of nuclear explosions, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey. It was the most powerful earthquake to have hit Myanmar since 1912 and so far is the second deadlie...
Terraform Labs has opened an online portal for investors to submit compensation claims for financial losses stemming from the May 2022 de-pegging of TerraUSD. Managed by administrators at New York-based Kroll, the portal will open on Monday, March 31 and close on April 30, giving loss-making investors a month to file claims. Applicants will have to submit evidence supporting their filings, including wallet addresses in which Terra-based cryptocurrencies were held, as well as transaction logs for...
Why did Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as Joe Exotic from the viral Netflix docuseries “Tiger King,” debut a meme coin on Solana from prison earlier this week? “I’m knee-deep in lawyer bills,” he told Decrypt in an interview, claiming the endeavor will also benefit children through donations to a nonprofit called Operation Smile. The 62-year-old, who has lived behind bars for seven years, didn’t launch the meme coin himself. Instead, he said his lawyers helped him get “Official Tiger Kin...
