🚨 Ethereum’s Sleeping Beauties Wake Up 🚨

by

So, it turns out that two Ethereum wallets have been having a nice long nap since 2015 – like, 3,630 days long. I mean, who hasn’t been there, right? 😴 They finally woke up on Monday and were all, “Oh, I’ve got some Ether to move!” 💸

These two wallets, starting with “0x27” and “0x7f” (yeah, real catchy names), were created back in the day when Ethereum was still in its “Frontier” phase. They got their initial Ether from some “GENESIS” transactions, which is just a fancy way of saying they were part of the cool kids’ club from the very beginning. 🤓

Ethereum, for those who don’t know, used to be a proof-of-work blockchain, just like Bitcoin. But then it was all, “Peace out, miners!” and transitioned to proof-of-stake in 2022. The Merge, they called it. Very dramatic. 🌟

Anyway, according to TradingView, Ether has gone up a casual 89,450% since these wallets have been asleep. Yeah, that’s a real “oops, I missed out” moment. 😳

It’s not just these two wallets, though. There’s been a whole wave of dormant whale wallets waking up and being all, “Hey, I’ve got some crypto to move!” 🐳 On Friday, three Bitcoin wallets that had been asleep for 14 years transferred billions of dollars. BILLIONS. 💸

And let’s not forget about those Satoshi-era Bitcoin wallets that woke up in 2024 and transferred coins worth nearly $44 million. Yeah, that’s some serious FOMO right there. 😂

Ethereum’s Latest Shenanigans

So, Ethereum’s got a new upgrade called Pectra, which is just a fancy way of saying “we’ve got some new features and stuff”. 🤔 It’s brought smart accounts, improved scalability, and higher staking limits to the ecosystem. And, of course, the price of Ether has gone up because, why not? 🚀

Vitalik Buterin’s been busy, too. He’s submitted some new proposals, including one with a gas cap of 16.77 million for individual transactions. Because, you know, security and performance and all that jazz. 🤓

Apparently, this will make Ethereum more resilient against certain DoS vectors, improve network stability, and provide more predictability to transaction processing costs. Yeah, because that’s exactly what I want to hear when I’m trying to buy some crypto – “predictability”. 😴
