Has anyone just used the massively popular phrase intended to offend no one other than Russian President Vladimir Putin to send Bitcoin (BTC) to Warren Buffett?
Dinner between Tron’s Justin Sun and cryptoskeptic billionaire Warren Buffett has been the talk of the town since it was first scheduled to take place in July 2019 and finally ended up in late January this year.
As you may know, Sun claims he gave Buffett 1 BTC and 1,930,830 TRX, which, as we discussed just today, Buffett refused to hold. Ironically, there were people who followed up the event and sent more crypto to this billionaire who claimed he would never own anything he deemed worthless and useless, in addition to the initially gifted sum. Along with the additional crypto sent to Buffett, he now owns BTC 1,01519228 from 25 transactions) and TRX 1,931,306,395 TRX (from 180 transactions), a total of USD 46,838 worth of crypto.
One of the people who sent some Satoshis to Buffett used this address: 1PutinHuj28G1Bc1WvFb9WxEKAKUDPUNEg
Now the vast majority of us could recognize “Putin” there, and it’s funny in itself, but there is more. It actually contains the phrase “Putin huj”, which sounds like a Russian phrase “Путин – хуй” (“Putin is a tail”). The phrase was enforced after Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014 and is also used by those who are dissatisfied with this guide.
Today it is also used for a Bitcoin address and one that is no less sent to Warren Buffett. This specific address sent Satoshis to Buffett twice on February 7th and 9th, totaling BTC 0.00053617 (USD 5.09). However, there are three other addresses with “Putin” or “Putin Huj” sending a total of five transactions worth BTC 0.00050544 (USD 4.8). The first address above has a total of 57 transactions while the other three have fewer than 10. Neither currently has a credit.
The address appears to be a Bitcoin Vanity address that starts with a certain character set.
