Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — The gathered sources directly address the core implications of the Bitcoin dormancy and movement. S1 provides factual context about the 600 BTC movement after 16 years, which is the event in question. S2, while focused on micropayments, provides a contrasting framework that highlights Bitcoin's role as a store of value versus a payment medium, thereby supporting the interpretation. Together, they cover the sub-claims with enough detail to assess the event's implications for payments.
