]]> According to Whale Alert, the tracker of large transactions of cryptocurrencies from wallets to exchanges, two Bitcoin addresses that have been dormant for 12.4 years have just been activated.

Going by the report, the dormant addresses contained 50 BTC each worth $8 in 2010. It’s worth noting that Bitcoin in each wallet is now worth around $2.1 million at current prices.

The reason for being dormant for that long has made many members of the crypto community wonder. It’s not clear whether the owners of the wallets just found the lost keys to access the Bitcoin stashes.

Massive Increase in 12 Years

As earlier stated, the wallets have been inactive since 2010 when Bitcoin or crypto was sparsely known and BTC was priced at around $8.

So, holding the Bitcoin stash for this long implies that the coins have gained roughly 53 million percent compared to the current price of BTC in the market.

Although the owners of the wallets spent only $4 each to acquire the BTC, they are certainly now Bitcoin millionaires.

As expected, a number of Twitter users have reacted to the rare transactions. As some think owners likely misplaced the keys and recently found them as aforementioned, others are of the opinion that owners of the wallets have likely been away since 2010.

Paluzzi accompanied the update with screenshots that display interfaces that will enable users to add their Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) addresses to their profiles. A notice is written under each prompt as follows: “People will send payments to the [Bitcoin or Ethereum] address you’ve entered above.”

According to the mobile developer, the newly proposed feature is meant to enable users to receive tips in cryptocurrency via the Tip Jar feature. The service will allow Twitter users to send funds seamlessly to other accounts.

Alessandro Paluzzi tweeted, “Twitter is working to allow you to add your Bitcoin and Ethereum address to your profile to receive tips via the Tip Jar feature. It is not necessary to link a Strike account to add them to your profile.”

Jack Dorsey Hinted At This Back in July

Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, had hinted at a possible integration of Bitcoin (BTC) with the proposed Tip Jar service back in July.

Although the news shared by Paluzzi is still unofficial, Twitter’s product lead, Kayvon Beykpour retweeted the post about the underway service on 1st September with the lighting and “soon” arrow emoji, proving the authenticity of the upcoming development.
