If someone was called a Yen billionaire would you think they owned a billion dollar? Bitcoin is a currency first.d.

BTC is designed such that when "all" the people of the world use it, it will be valued in the same ballpark as existing currencies.

By which I mean, one satoshi will be about one U.S. cent, a microbitcoin will be renamed the basic unit, and anyone holding one bitcoin now, would be a millionaire (BTC1 = 1 million microbitcoins).

Therefore there will be billionaires also, and they will be very rich.

I don't see why this is so confusing, he has made that much of BTC. He doesn't have that many.

Some article I read earlier was claiming they were giving them away as a stress test on Gox.
That they were responsible for huge numbers signing up and causing the lag.

Two options:

1. Those are the central banks probing how weak is the bitcoin network (and it's pretty weak, can make it crash with less than a 100k)

2. He was sending the payments to himself

Gave them out seemingly at random.
Whatever the case they really got some attention.

No, but we would think they had near a billion dollars worth of assets.

It seems he really didn't care who was getting them. It was not at all like "Your comment was informative and I enjoyed it, here have this as a reward". Some of the comments just said "Thanks" or "lol" and they got $100.

Pretty sure btcbillionaire said that wasn't the case at all, the article had no proof of anything and just made random speculation.
