I was digging around and found this address: 3MqUP6G1daVS5YTD8fz3QgwjZortWwxXFd. Satoshi sent a lot of bitcoins here back in the day. It's weird that it received over 18 million BTC and sent almost the same out. Seems odd for just one wallet... any thoughts?

Wait a sec, Satoshi mined the first BTC on January 3, 2009. No way this address is linked to him. The whole 'M4 14' thing is just a label for whoever owns it now, not Satoshi.

Exactly! Those amounts are typical for big exchanges or services. You can't just assume a wallet is loaded with Satoshi's coins. The M4 14 tag probably came from when Blockchain.com allowed users to label their wallets. It’s not a direct Satoshi connection.

Arkham Intel claims that this address actually belongs to Coinbase Prime and not Satoshi at all. With all the transactions from major exchanges, it makes sense that huge amounts would flow through here.

Here's a quick transaction I found: 2.00001268 BTC sent with a fee of 1.3K sats. This address is definitely active and not sitting idle. Just shows how much action it’s getting.

But what does 'M4 14' even mean? Is it just a tag for easier memory or does it relate to the wallet somehow? Seems like more of a web interface thing, not tied to transactions.
