Why Now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The activation of the wallet is due to the times of turmoil within Europe following Russia's invasion<\/a> of Ukraine. Despite this fact, markets have actually recovered<\/a> to highs greater than prior to the invasion. Uncertainty of what is to come may have had an influence on the decision though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, the Bitcoin whale may have finally been able to unlock it after many years. Many wallets dating back to 2011 have been activated recently, this comes with the question, are they linked with Satoshi Nakamoto?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This begs the question, how many dormant wallets holding a huge amount of Bitcoin are out there, waiting to be activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Bitcoin<\/a> wallet that has been non-active for over 8 years has been activated, according to Whale Alert<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it was last active in 2013, the Bitcoins were worth around US$355,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas now they are worth<\/a> around US$15,600,000. This means the holder made around a 4000% gain, not bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way to legalize Bitcoin as legal tender was paved by El Salvador, who officially adopted Bitcoin<\/a> as legal tender in September of 2021. Although the adoption of Bitcoin in El Salvador according to business owners hasn't had much of an impact<\/a>. Currently, a mere 14% of businesses have transacted with Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Malaysia ranks 23rd on Chainalysis' 2021 Global Crypto Adoption Index<\/a>. This shows the country is comfortable with cryptocurrency transactions and could react well to the legalization of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way to legalize Bitcoin as legal tender was paved by El Salvador, who officially adopted Bitcoin<\/a> as legal tender in September of 2021. Although the adoption of Bitcoin in El Salvador according to business owners hasn't had much of an impact<\/a>. Currently, a mere 14% of businesses have transacted with Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a Bloomberg report<\/a>, Malaysia's central bank hasn't announced any plans to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender yet. Despite this in September 2021, Malaysia joined a trial for Project Dunbar<\/a>, with the Bank for International Settlements. In January the central bank\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0they were working on a proof of concept for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Dunbar is testing the uses cases of CBDCs. Along with Malaysia, Australia, Singapore, and South Africa have also joined the project.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Malaysia Should Make Bitcoin Legal Tender Proposes Deputy Minister","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"malaysia-should-make-bitcoin-legal-tender-proposes-deputy-minister","to_ping":"","pinged":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/crypto-essentials-central-bank-digital-currencies-cbdcs\/\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/el-salvador-businesses-barely-impacted-by-bitcoins-legality\/","post_modified":"2023-04-11 12:51:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-11 02:51:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=4043","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3836,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-03-08 19:11:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-03-08 08:11:16","post_content":"\n

A Bitcoin<\/a> wallet that has been non-active for over 8 years has been activated, according to Whale Alert<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it was last active in 2013, the Bitcoins were worth around US$355,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas now they are worth<\/a> around US$15,600,000. This means the holder made around a 4000% gain, not bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction<\/a> shows that the Bitcoins were split amongst various wallets. This may mean that a total dump isn't in the eyes of the wallet's owner, not right now at least. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The activation of the wallet is due to the times of turmoil within Europe following Russia's invasion<\/a> of Ukraine. Despite this fact, markets have actually recovered<\/a> to highs greater than prior to the invasion. Uncertainty of what is to come may have had an influence on the decision though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, the Bitcoin whale may have finally been able to unlock it after many years. Many wallets dating back to 2011 have been activated recently, this comes with the question, are they linked with Satoshi Nakamoto?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This begs the question, how many dormant wallets holding a huge amount of Bitcoin are out there, waiting to be activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
