🔥80,000 BTC activated = Cat Master returns? The first mysterious legend in the crypto world hides half of Bitcoin's mining history!🧵
Who is Cat Master?
The geek who fell in love with the libertarian ideals of Bitcoin in 2011, a genius who was the second in the world to create an ASIC mining machine, making 200 million in 3 months and providing shareholders with a 500-fold return, a myth of the early crypto world!
In 2012, he mass-produced mining machines through crowdfunding in forums, and in 2013, he accounted for 42% of the total network hashrate, with mining farms lining up to grab machines, and the stock price skyrocketed by 50 times; even Wu Jihan was once his shareholder!
Yet he suddenly disappeared in early 2015, leaving behind 17,630 BTC and the biggest unsolved mystery in the crypto world, becoming a memory of youth for countless old investors.
In July 2025, 80,000 ancient BTC that had been dormant for 14 years were activated, causing a stir across the network: has Cat Master returned?
Analysts poured cold water on this: this address had been hoarding coins since 2011, while Cat Master only entered the mining machine scene in 2012, so it is highly unlikely to be him!
But in November 2024, the real Cat Master address transferred 206 BTC (worth 18.12 million USD), and the address is now empty—where is he? Are these BTC being sold or transferred?
The story of Cat Master is a microcosm of Bitcoin's early days:
From CPU mining to the ASIC mining machine revolution, from crowdfunding entrepreneurship to hashrate dominance, from becoming rich overnight to fading into obscurity, it hides the most primal madness and cruelty of the crypto world.
Now Bitcoin's price is strong, and the mining sector is filled with giants, but what Cat Master left behind is not only a mysterious legend but also the early practice of Bitcoin's decentralized philosophy.
❓Who do you think the 80,000 ancient BTC belong to? Will Cat Master make a comeback?
Old investors who experienced the Cat Master era, did you ever compete for his mining machines back then?👇
