Several early Bitcoin miners deny that the 50 Bitcoins transferred from the address in 2009 have anything to do with them

Last night, 50 bitcoins were suddenly transferred from an early bitcoin mining address, which sparked heated discussions in the crypto community. Whalealert even tweeted that this might be Satoshi Nakamoto's early address, but this conjecture was later rejected by everyone. At the same time, many early bitcoin miners and developers also denied that they were the ones who transferred the tokens from the address, which may become another unsolved mystery in the crypto community.

It is still unclear who this address belongs to, and some early Bitcoin developers and miners have denied that this address belongs to them. Fran, the wife of the famous computer scientist Hal Finney, said, "It's very strange, but these are not the bitcoins mined by my husband, and we have nothing to do with it." Hal Finney died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2014. Hal Finney helped write the Bitcoin code at the beginning of Bitcoin and was one of the first miners to use the Bitcoin network. He also maintained a very close relationship with Satoshi Nakamoto. Many crypto enthusiasts believe that Finney himself is Satoshi Nakamoto, but he has also firmly denied this claim many times.

Another early Bitcoin developer, Martti Malmi, also denied that the address belonged to him. “I discovered Bitcoin around April 2009,” Martti said on Twitter on May 20 in response to inquiries. The wallet with Bitcoin transfers appeared two months earlier than Malmi’s contact with Bitcoin.

Another early miner, Metal Pay CEO Marshall Hayner, hinted that he didn’t move the tokens either. The early miner said he didn’t get into Bitcoin until November 2009. But interestingly, he also said, “If it was me, I wouldn’t say it. Real miners will most likely never admit it. They have a lot of Bitcoin and they don’t want to be targeted. I can confirm that I started mining in 2009, but I will never publicly disclose my crypto assets.”

Hayner affirmed that traders would never admit to these actions. “They don’t want the negative attention and potential criminals targeting them,” he continued. “They would rather be known for their contributions to the blockchain, or not be known at all.”

Finally, it is interesting that some people believe that this Bitcoin address has appeared in the list listed by Craig Wright, so they suspect that Craig Wright moved these Bitcoins. In response to this, Calvin Ayre, founder of CoinGeek and BSV supporter, tweeted today: "It's not him. I just talked to him and Craig Wright confirmed that it was not him."

It seems that the mystery of this address will continue, but its appearance has successfully aroused the interest of the community, which may be a good thing for the crypto community. Affected by the transfer of bitcoins from ancient addresses, the price of bitcoin fell to $9,300 last night and then rebounded. The total amount of liquidation in the entire network in 24 hours exceeded $120 million, or about 800 million yuan. (Blockbeat)
