This is quite an interesting read about the recently moved 80k coins.
July 4, 2025 will remain etched in Bitcoin history. During the day, 80,000 BTC—equivalent to $8.6 billion at current prices—were simultaneously moved from 8 wallets that had been dormant for over 14 years. Each wallet contained exactly 10,000 BTC, in perfect symmetry that immediately rules out any coincidence. This surgical coordination represents the largest Bitcoin movement ever recorded in a single operation. But beyond the dizzying figures, it's the very nature of this transaction that raises questions. Because unlike the usual "whale" awakenings, this operation bears all the hallmarks of a technical demonstration... or a major cryptographic exploit.
Very interesting read. Surprised it's the first time I hear of these OP_RETURN messages...

There are a lot of assumptions here but I think it's worth spending a few hours fact checking some of the claims.

Sure. Could also be possible that everything is made up by the "real" owner and this is a reverse boating accident. Who knows...

or..
this operation bears all the hallmarks of a technical demonstration... leading one to assume a major cryptographic exploit.

oh my effing god. not here, too
it's just a tx, people! every block contains hundreds/thousands of them!
but somehow every smartass now tries to think of all the ways it might be not just another tx
