Is Someone Close to Satoshi Moving 50 BTC From 2009?
The cryptocurrency community is in complete turmoil as information just became known that blockchain data revealed that Bitcoin had just been moved, which was mined in February 2009. The sum of BTC was one of the first cryptocurrencies ever mined, just one month after the first Bitcoin block was mined.
What exactly does this mean? Why is someone moving their Bitcoin now?
Block chain data shows that 50 BTCs that were mined in 2009 suddenly started moving. This means that some of the first mined Bitcoins are now in motion. But who is moving them and why they are doing this, the crypto-community is still unclear.
Was that Satoshi?
If you ask me, no! This address is not one of the known Satoshi addresses. There were already several miners back then. After a short research I found a chart that shows a visualization of the first mined blocks.
It shows which blocks were mined in dependence of the time, so you can see which blocks were mined by which miner. Based on further data we can assume that the person who moved his Bitcoins today also mined the blocks 3350, 3357, 3365, 3396, 3426, 3450, 3478, 3497, 3565, 3607, 3617, 3623, 3629, 3662, 3669 and many, many others. Most of these have also been moved in recent years. Therefore it’s very unlikely to be Satoshi.
What do you think? Could this have been Satoshi?

Venezuelan Team working on a Bitcoin Mesh Network based on Offline Radios
A Venezuelan team is developing Locha, a decentralized mesh network that does not rely on the Internet to conduct transactions with Bitcoin (BTC). The radio wave based system was created because Venezuela often has to deal with power and internet failures. The main application of the project is for critical situations such as in Venezuela and Iran, where infrastructure problems or government restrictions often lead to protracted Internet shutdowns.

Bitcoin Annual Review – 2019
It is easy to forget that Bitcoin did not perform that badly this year. The second half of 2019 was bearish, but not the first half. In reality, Bitcoin has risen from USD 3,740 on New Year’s Eve 2018 to currently USD 7,480, which is a 100% increase in value.
In fact, Bitcoin began to crawl out of a long bear market at the beginning of 2019, with the bear market bottoming out at USD 3,200 just a few weeks before New Year’s Eve 2019. Bitcoin then remained volatile and flat until early February, only at the end of March did Bitcoin slowly begin to emerge and reach USD 4,000.
Things then became exciting in April and May, when Bitcoin rose to USD 8,500. In late June and early July, Bitcoin then shot up to $13,800.
Since then, the Bitcoin market has felt somewhat bearish and is in a persistent decline. However, after a low of USD 6,500 in mid-December, Bitcoin has risen again to USD 7,200, which raises hopes of a bottom and a renewed rise next year.
