That's the smile of a guy who still has 2,000 Bitcoin stashed away somewhere. I'll remind you that he was sentenced for 2 lifetime +40 years.

Looking at old SR addresses - most have been seized or moved years ago. Still few interesting dormant wallets from that era though.

For newer folks - SR wasn't just about dark markets. It proved bitcoin could work at scale when everyone said it couldn't. First proper escrow system, first real reputation system. Changed everything about how we thought about crypto payments.

Seeing unusual movements in some 2011-era wallets. Pattern matches old SR-linked addresses. Might be nothing, might be something.
