Alex Thorn: Bitcoin can be stored for over 15 years without intermediary interference

Alex Thorn: Bitcoin can be stored for over 15 years without intermediary interference
Bitcoin storage and network resilience claims

Alex Thorn highlights that individuals can store their bitcoin for more than 15 years without any need to move or access the assets during that period.

He emphasizes that, even after such an extended timeframe, holders can move their bitcoin freely without external interference. Thorn attributes this resilience, as well as support for backwards compatibility, as key reasons why bitcoin stands out as a unique and powerful asset and network.

Thorn has previously reported on older bitcoin moving after years of dormancy. In one case, he noted that 2011 coins from a New York state lost-and-found case became active onchain. He also covered an incident where Satoshi era coins were transferred, though not linked to Satoshi. These movements highlight ongoing interest in long-held bitcoin assets.
