An old bitcoin wallet suddenly comes back to life after ten years

An old bitcoin (BTC) wallet that has not conducted any transactions for more than ten years suddenly came to life Wednesday, Feb. 8. The owner of the BTC sent all the bitcoin away.
You can now assume that the owner of this wallet, if they sold all the BTC, made big profits.

This bitcoin wallet contained a total of a whopping 412.2 BTC. These bitcoins were purchased by the wallet's owner in 4 transactions in 2012. When the wallet's owner bought the bitcoin, the cryptocurrency price stood at just over $12. Since the last purchase on Oct. 1, 2012, no bitcoin has been added or sent away.

Looking at the current price, the moved BTC has a total value of $9.6 million. This is a profit of 120,000,000% converted.

Cardano DeFi platform SundaeSwap holds the first round of voting

SundaeSwap (SUNDAE) is a relatively new DeFi platform on the Cardano (ADA) network. The platform is working on a new proposal where token owners can vote on how founders should run the platform. This development lets owners with at least 10,000 SUNDAE tokens submit proposals that are then voted on. SundaeSwap is, therefore, a great example of a DAO.
