I can hear him sing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcMB9gwtqDM at night while looking at the stars. He might have a lot of bitcoins. Maybe.

Post by: beetcoin on November 17, 2013, 10:31:33 PM satoshi's mined coin won't be spent, we can roughly say total supply is 20M. what's the rationale behind this? please fill me in. i don't get it when people say that. maybe it's been stashed for a while, but that doesn't mean that it won't be spent by him.

He probably bought coins in 15,000 chunks on the early days and living on that instead.

He probably bought coins in 15,000 chunks on the early days and living on that instead. a solvable problem: he could just split up his wallet and send his private key to a random person over the internet. as in he'll pay a bounty or transfer it to someone else for whatever reason. better yet, he might donate those coins for charities to circulate them instead of leaving them to rot. if i were satoshi, and i knew that people were closely watching my wallet/blocks, i'd just donate the money.

Actually, having some sort of an ongoing global lotto with somewhat better odds than typical ones might create enough interest in the world's populations that they would not necessarily want the solution to be attacked. Might help out with the GINI index problem to to a small degree. Title: Re: Who are some people publicly known to hold more than 100,000 btc?

Are the amounts verified or are they just people claiming to have that much?
Title: Re: Who are some people publicly known to hold more than 100,000 btc? Post by: Raize on November 18, 2013, 05:10:26 PM These are people that, at one point, but not necessarily now, had that amount of coin in their possession. I've never really been a fan of these lists because they contain both a voyeuristic aspect and they infer trust when it might not be warranted.
Quote he's the kind of guy who doesn't want to get caught, everybody is watching those blocks, if spent, his identity will be revealed in no time. He probably bought coins in 15,000 chunks on the early days and living on that instead. There are ways around this if you trust the right individuals within the Bitcoin community, honestly. Additionally, virgin coin would probably sell at a premium. It's not like people are going to torture trusted members of this community just to find out Satoshi's identity. It'd be really hard to do that and get away with it. I think you are correct though, it'd just be easier to buy thousands of coin early on and then quit your day job after a few years and act like you were just an "early adopter" like everyone else.

Title: Re: Who are some people publicly known to hold more than 100,000 btc? Post by: bitcoinpsftp on November 27, 2013, 06:47:06 AM What is the problem of people finding out who Satoshi is? Did he do something illegal? I know about the link to DPR, but other than that, why wouldn't he eventually come out?

Post by: beetcoin on November 27, 2013, 09:46:27 AM satoshi's mined coin won't be spent, we can roughly say total supply is 20M. One day it might be?? it could easily be spent.. satoshi could just donate it to a libertarian or charitable cause. we'd know who the recipient is, but not the sender's real identity. think about it: you're satoshi and you're cautious about keeping your privacy.. you know that these BTC are sitting there doing nothing.. and it would be extremely difficult to get those coins out of your pocket, so you'd just donate it. at least this is what i'd be thinking if i were satoshi. |
