Title: Satoshi Rumour Post by: ledgerman on July 13, 2012, 10:46:18 AM I heard a rumor about Satoshi, that he created his project about 4 years ago and went into hiding because he was afraid of his life if the bankers found him. He decided he needed to abandon his project, to allow it to thrive, but decided that he would come back after 4 years. He knew the block reward would half every 4 years, and though he would take advantage of this opportunity to come and sell off and dump half of his bitcoins every time it does... I have heard he is planning to do this some time in December! Watch out guys, the markets would be annihilated if this is true!

Markets annihilated? Well then, that would be a dumb way to take profit from all those bitcoins. That means he makes a lot of money off the first few bitcoins he sells off and the rest sell for just pennies? Is Satoshi really that dumb? Wouldn't it make more sense to sell off slowly allowing the market to adjust to the increase in bitcoins in circulation and maximize the exchange rate for each and every bitcoin?Title: Re: Satoshi Rumour Post by: DannyHamilton on July 13, 2012, 03:20:47 PM He knew the block reward would half every 4 years I really wonder how he can know _that. :oTitle: Re: Satoshi Rumour Post by: anu on July 13, 2012, 05:29:12 PM . . .He knew the block reward would half every 4 years, and though he would take advantage of this opportunity to come and sell off and dump half of his bitcoins every time it does. . .Watch out guys, the markets would be annihilated if this is true! Markets annihilated? ... Is Satoshi really that dumb?Seriously, what would happen? Satoshi puts sell orders in the sum of BTC700K on all the exchanges. Price would go down to essentially nothing. Those who say WTF, buy them all. Price would bounce back. Within minutes. So Satoshi needs to be dumb enough to do this, but smart enough to know when the drop in block reward is priced in. |
