The blockchain equivalent of a smoke signal went up this morning as a wallet yanked 20,000 ETH (a cool $44.83 million) from Coinbase’s hot wallet, sparking whispers of “Bull Market Resurrection!”

For a fleeting moment, the crypto-verse held its breath, picturing some digital titan hoisting their treasure off-exchange to… uh… do whatever it is titans do. Accumulate, presumably. Bullishly.
