Silk road
If he made the Silk Road mostly to kickstart BTC, after buying a pile of BTC, and then waited till now to sell it - then he's kinda smart.

Sizable inactive accounts that wake up after years of dormancy draw investor attention because of the potential market impact if those coins are sold.
It would make me very happy if they liquidated and destroyed the market overnight.

Maybe because I'm high, but you just made me ugly laugh on the bus. I just saw fireworks. And now I'm remembering that plan I had to go back to the early 90s, and buy stock in yahoo. But through a telephone error, I ended up buying cases of yoohoo instead. Still worth it. I got to go back in time and see a micheal jackson concert when he was still black, and a Nirvana concert back before they were heard of.
Still though.....to be a billionaire.
early 90s
micheal jackson still black
Nirvana before they were heard of

I'm unfamiliar as I've never had such. What counts as re-occuring? Is two payments always considered re-occuring?
It can be, if they're fairly close in time and total just past 10k.
Every bank has their own algorithm and they try to ride the line between catching criminals and not having too many false positives.

Sounds like you need another visit from Doc Brown. I heard he'll come visit, if you give him first pick of your trash

Btw, banks will flag multiple transactions of $9,999 even if the reporting threshold is $10k USD. Structuring to avoid the $10k reporting requirement is well known and no guarantee of remaining under the radar.
The feds also like to criminally prosecute people if they do transactions that can be construed to be avoiding the reporting limit.

Bitcoin private keys are 256 bit long. That means, there are 115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584007913129639936 (1.15*10^77) possible private keys.
Say you are using a bitcoin miner that's roughly 4x as fast as the curretly fastest one at 1PH/s (1*10^15), they you'll need roughly 1*10^62 seconds or 3*10^54 years.
Lets say you got a million of these miners, then you are down to 3*10^48 years, or 2*10^38 times as long as the universe has existed.
I was going to calculate how much electricity this would consume and how expensive it would be, but the answer to that is plainly "too much to imagine".
Yeah that's if you were to try to bruteforce the entire keyspace one key at a time. Nah. You'd look for sidechannel attacks which could reduce the keyspace by many orders of magnitude before starting.

I feel like a lot of time travelers would have this same idea. Maybe that's why they got popular....oh....oh no.
New conspiracy theory just dropped, boys
And then they become popular so fast and so effortlessly they don't care about actually creating anything anymore, so people fix that by feeding them their own music from the original timeline.

I've been waiting for someone to do this for years.

That guy who want to search a landfill probably.
I saw an article where a guy just gave up searching after over a decade.

I worked in a bank for a bit. Literally any transaction that's large and unusual for the account will be flagged. Also people do bonkers things with their money for the stupidest reasons all the time so all that one has to do if they're making large transactions is be prepared to talk to the bank and explain what's going on.
Unless of course you are handling money in relation to organized crime, in which case you were fucked the moment the money touched the banking system
