An ancient Bitcoin whale has sold $9.7 million worth of Bitcoin, but still has $72 million worth remaining. The whale, who started mining Bitcoin after the creation of the genesis block, spent two months moving BTC to the Kraken exchange. In 2009, early Bitcoin adopters could mine the cryptocurrency using their computers, generating up to 3,000 BTC per day. The increase in miners in 2010 made it more difficult to mine with a personal computer. Speculation arises as to whether Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, is behind the recent whale activity.
