A strange transaction went through the bitcoin network

50 BTC, which were mined a month after the launch of the first cryptocurrency blockchain, began to move in 11years old. Then only a few people were engaged in mining, among which was the creator of the main digital coin.

Today, May 20, the transaction took place at 50 BTC,which were mined in February 2009. At that time, the blockchain of the coin was about a month. Then, only a few people were engaged in its mining, among them was Hell Finney (died August 28, 2014), known as the first cryptocurrency recipient, as well as its creator under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.

The transfer came from a wallet that was issuedon block 3654. Prior to it, only 41 blocks contained transactions, the remaining 3613 remained empty. From the moment the BTC network was launched until this address appeared, 97 transfers were made, excluding transactions with a block reward.

May 11 at block 630,000 in the Bitcoin network passedhalving. The reward for the mined block was halved, to 6.25 BTC. The last block before halving was obtained by the f2pool pool. In the transaction with which the miner receives a reward, he included a message with the headline of the NYTimes newspaper dated April 9, 2020 that the US Federal Reserve allocated $ 2.3 trillion to support the economy. This is a reference to the message that Satoshi Nakamoto left in the bitcoin genesis block: “The Times on January 3, 2009, the Chancellor is on the edge for the second salvation of banks.”
