Whenever I think about the oldest Bitcoin wallets, I am impressed by the Satoshi Nakamoto wallet. That address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa is practically a historical artifact - it contains the first 50 BTC mined in 2009. The most intriguing thing is that all this wealth, about 1.1 million BTC valued at over 100 billion dollars, has remained completely dormant since 2011. No transactions, no movement.
The Genesis Block address is another that catches attention - 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2. Also with 50 BTC mined on Bitcoin's first day, January 3, 2009. These satoshis have never been touched. Then there's Hal Finney's wallet, one of the first developers who supported the project. He received the first transaction from Satoshi and accumulated about 9,000 BTC, which were distributed after his death in 2014.
It's interesting to think that these Satoshi Nakamoto and Genesis wallets represent a significant fraction of all existing Bitcoin. With the current price around 80.5K, these dormant addresses hold a fortune that will never be spent. It makes us reflect on the true scarcity of Bitcoin and how these early miners created a story that no one can rewrite.
