The cryptocurrency world has been stirred by a sensational event. According to data from Blockchain.com, an address starting with bc1q9 made a purchase of 27 bitcoins from Binance in the early hours of the 6th, worth approximately $1.174 million, and sent this transaction to Satoshi Nakamoto's genesis block reward address: "1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa". This address is marked as "Satoshi 1" and is the address where Satoshi Nakamoto received the reward of 50 BTC for the genesis block on January 4, 2009. Currently, this mysterious address holds 99.676 bitcoins, valued at approximately $4.347 million, and has never had any record of outgoing transactions.

This transaction has sparked widespread discussion in the cryptocurrency community. Conor, a Coinbase executive, expressed his opinion on X platform: "This is not Satoshi Nakamoto waking up, but someone transferring millions of dollars worth of bitcoins into Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet and destroying them. Another possibility is that this may involve some strange ETF marketing plan." The community is full of curiosity about the true reason behind this large amount of bitcoins being transferred to Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet. Some boldly speculate that BlackRock may be the holder of the Satoshi Nakamoto wallet, making this transaction extremely mysterious. There are also some humorous remarks suggesting that this may be the IRS pressuring Satoshi Nakamoto to report this transaction, revealing his true identity.

However, some voices believe that Binance may be the only entity in the world that knows the true identity of this "Satoshi Nakamoto", but due to KYC restrictions, they may not be able to disclose relevant identity information. Whatever the truth may be, this event has added a touch of mystery to the cryptocurrency world. Everyone is letting their imaginations run wild, speculating on the possible stories behind it. Let's wait and see what truth this puzzle will ultimately reveal. In the world of digital currency, every change can attract global attention, and it is these unknown adventures that make the world of Bitcoin even more exciting.

Even if Satoshi Nakamoto were to exist and remain active, it would be highly unlikely for them to use this address again.
