RE: Satoshi's nest egg is worth a cool $5 billion at current prices

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Basically, besides the history listed above, we know that Satoshi (whoever he/she is) owns roughly 1 million bitcoins.

There is no indication the person or people known as Satoshi mined those blocks or controlled those keys now or ever. You do not know that. It is simply your speculation.

Sort:  

@sneak your observation is real, it is difficult to know if he is even a person. And if they own 1 million bitcoins, isn't that part of the total circulation of 21 million that will ever exist? If that is the case only 20 million in case this one million is lost in a parallel world. Upvoted. @gold84

I believe his point is that it's all speculation that 'satoshi' even controls the keys to the referenced 1 million BTC. It's a lot of BTC that has never moved, but we don't know who, if anyone, actually has access to it.

Thanks for the follow up @justinw. Upvoted your comment. @gold84

Your support is very welcomed too!

@justinw one million bitcoins!!!!! that's a lot of money and the guy doesn't have to prove anything to anyone to claim them. If true, i think he deserves it. i think somebody has to make a movie or TV show about him, something like Mr Robot. i know i would like to watch it

I agree.

We don't know the amount the creator of Bitcoin owns but it would be surprising if they didn't mine a huge amount and even more surprising to think they lost the keys to what they mine.

Not using those older wallet simply make sense even if it's just to let people entertain the thought nobody has access to these keys anymore.

nice

I agree but it still a mystery how much he own.......
