March 15th report: According to Cointelegraph, just a few hours after El Salvador publicly announced that it would store most of its Bitcoin in a physically secure cold wallet, Bitcoin enthusiasts have already sent "rare Sats" and Ordinal inscriptions to this wallet. Ordiscan data shows that there are at least 67 Ordinal donations in this wallet, including BRC-20 tokens, textual inscriptions, images, 3D "Runestones," and even a copy of the "Cypherpunk Manifesto" — a document written by Eric Hughes in March 1993, aimed at safeguarding privacy in the electronic age through encryption.
Additionally, the wallet contains approximately $700 worth of Satoshi donations, many of which are labeled as "pizza" and "vintage" Satoshi. Pizza Satoshi refers to the 10,000 BTC used by early Bitcoin contributor Laszlo Hanyecz on May 22, 2010, to pay for two pizzas, while vintage sats refer to sats mined in the first 1000 Bitcoin blocks. A total of 56 transactions have been sent to the new wallet address in El Salvador, the vast majority of which are small-value transfers.
Earlier today, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele announced the decision to transfer 5689.68 BTC to a cold wallet for transparency. It is worth noting that this number is much larger than previously estimated by some data institutions. Previously, the President of El Salvador stated that the country's Bitcoin holdings exceeded public estimates and had multiple sources of Bitcoin income. |
