What if Satoshi was already a billionaire who didn't care how much he had  :o :o

Possibly.

But satoshi can't cash in on his BTC's as he would lose his anonymity.

There is a lot of information about Nakamoto Satoshi, however, we can not be sure that it is accurate, none of us knows about it, he can be a person or an organization working together and Developed, what we can be sure is that he is the one who created the bitcoin, he is a very talented person. I admire him. He knows very well what he has created, so I believe he is a billionaire, with his talent, money is too easy to get. I look forward to seeing him once.

Yes, this.
Also, I expect the Bitcoin world to go crazy if Satoshi even just spends his BTC. Not mentioning cashing out or anything.
Bitcoin price is due to it's scarcity. What if all of a sudden, he stops holding this 1M BTC and that gets to the market.
Price should decrease.

If Satoshi is still alive and holds his coins, that means in my opinion that he believes in the success of his experiment.
As soon as he starts moving his stash bitcoiners will panic.

Do we have any proof of that 1M BTC? Do we know if he is holding any bitcoins at all? We naturally think so but what if he cashed out his bitcoins locally?

All this anonymous Satoshi thing smells very shady btw. He can't stay anonymous with all those forum posts, emails and stuff. Nobody can.

The secret service probably knows his identity or he is the secret service. There is no other explanation to that.

After 4 or so months here, I still haven't have the faintest idea of who he is or how to find him.  ;D

If he does have that much btc though, I guess I would also prefer him to hold on to them, to avoid a sudden crash. Maybe when all the bitcoins have been mined, maybe he can release them into circulation bit by bit, so that there would still be some larger price movement and so that people would have the chance to own them.

Where did you get the figure of $10Bn from? At best Satoshi would have a million coins?
That would make him a billionaire. Not $10 Bn.

@mindrust.

It's just assumed that he owns around 1 million BTC, but there is no solid proof that can be used to back up this claim. People are just wildly guessing and nothing more.

People just look at the earliest 50BTC block rewards that are being mined into each time a different address. It's of course likely to think they belong to him since it was so early on, but again, no proof to back this up.

Btw, coins to this day are still untouched.

Satoshi Nakamoto is just a fictional character.

Only a dead person would be without desire for fame and fortune.

Check out In-Q-Tel if you want to know the origin of "Satoshi Nakamoto".

Yeah, after all he created bitcoin and was the 1st person to mine it. But anyways isn't OP late to the party of "Who's Satoshi" isn't this been discussed like thousands of time on this forum.

dont we have a richlist for BTC ..... cant we find the wallet address
everyone want to meet him. one created such a bit revolution and still managed to stay anonymous

He would not cash out his bitcoins .his only motive was to eradicate the government rule and make way for anonymity transactions .
He made bitcoins so that world could be a better place when people have power on their own hands, there s no need of a government to run.

What do you mean by that? I mean just like in a movies, novel, comics or anime? That came up by just a mere imagination? We're talking aboutnreal thing here. It maybe just a pseudonym but what he did is real. It's not some kind of a fiction or imagination.

I don't know the real reason why he just vanished without a trace. It leads to assumptions that Satoshi Nakamoto is dead. But nope. There are some people out there today that don't desire money and fame. If there is one thing that can't resist by a genius (e.g.satoshi) it will be audience. That is one of the frailty of genius, it needs an audience.

He represents everything that Bitcoin stands for. Even after having a value of more than 1000$, you can send and receive Bitcoins anonymously.
He should have been the most famous person right now. Obviously one of the richest.

It is not impossible if he is holding a million bitcoin or more,  why not, if ever we are in his situation we will do the same.
Anyway, it doesn't matter as long as we value what we have now if you don't have bitcoin yet in your wallet then, it is not too late to have one.
There are ways, who knows that time will come you will have millions too.

We don't know what's his plan on his bitcoin maybe he's still waiting for bitcoin to reach $10000 before he cash out some of it with so many bitcoin mixer now he can manage to withdraw his bitcoin anonymously,he knows the value of what he created so he knows when to cah out his bitcoin.

As quoted the present time too is not that late to have one bitcoin into the wallet. The thing is different with Satoshi, because lot of users have claimed themselves as Satoshi. That's the reason why the identity is not clear, else he could have been found same as you and me. The reason is that in the beginning he has participated in several discussion regarding bitcoin.

What is so surprising if "Satoshi Nakamoto" is fictional? What's so hard to believe?
Think outside the box. You could find the truth out there.

Everyone (including people entering monastic life) desire money and fame.
In Buddhism, it was taught that souls on earth spend countless of eons going through countless cycles of life and death on earth while creating and settling karmic debt non-stop.
Only those who are truly liberated and ascended are without desire of money and fame.
"Satoshi Nakamoto" is not it.

Fictional character or not, facts remain facts.

I invite you to check this article : https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/the-well-deserved-fortune-of-satoshi-nakamoto/

(TL;DR : There is one entity that mined from block 1 and for quite some time that ows ~1M unspent BTC since the beginning of bitcoin. The ultimate bitcoin holder/believer  :D)
You can check all this out in the blockchain.

Who mined that block ? https://blockchain.info/block/00000000839a8e6886ab5951d76f411475428afc90947ee320161bbf18eb6048
See, the 50 BTC are unspent.

This is "Satoshi Nakamoto".
Now, either he/they hold the private keys and haven't spend the BTC yet, or the coins are burnt because privkey were lost/deleted on purpose.
So far, we can't know that..

Damn, now that's a name I haven't seen in a long time. Did you ever stop posting in politics Tom?

Anyone trying hard to find the real Satoshi or who is pushing in favor of something like finding him are wasting their time for the most part, if no-one has found him after the solid 6 years since 2011, or 4 years since the leap to $1.2k, chances are it'll be harder and harder to find him as time drags on. As for who or what he may be, he could be an individual or a group. Right now we have no definitive idea. Someone going and analyzing the writing styles of all know works of Satoshi could give us an idea as to whether or not one person had to write everything, or if it varied. Even that doesn't prove much.

Mi just finished glancing through the list of first fifty billionaires and there was none called Satoshi Nakamoto, unless he's disguised his name. I don't think he doesn't care and he's not money conscious observing his conduct of not coming to seek fame attention so i think he knows what he's doing and we all need to respect that.

Satoshi nakamoto is not even yet identified if he is a person or a group of person  No one really know who that is so determining if he is a billionaire now and who he is is not possible. People always assume that this satoshi maybe a guy who wants to remain anonymous. Maybe he doesn't want to get involve with all these dramas.

People could really make assumptions that hes already a billionaire because hes the creator of bitcoin and assuming he stores or mine lots of bitcoin when it was just starting then people could really make those rumors which theres a possibility that it would be true..

It's absolutely impossible that he's worth that much because that would be well over half of Bitcoin's market cap.

Sergio Demian Lerner did an analysis back in 2013 and estimated Satoshi has 1M Bitcoins. Means he has more than $1B if we go by his research. Else nobody has record of it.

This is like the billion dollar question. And it has been discussed over and over.

But to me, the question should be rephrased like this:

Suppose someone comes along claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto. What kind of proof could he/she/they give to backup that claim? And would that proof be 100%? Likely not.

If it would be certain that he would be the owner of one of the earliest bitcoin addresses, all that needs to be done to proof that is make some valid transaction from that adress.
The recipient of that transfer could then confirm that the claimed owner is the owner.

But we don't know with certainty what bitcoin adress belongs to this Sakoshi Nakamoto figure, it would only proof that the person owns one of the first bitcoin adresses.

RIP Bug Unlimited

How can he be worth 10 billion USD today if he supposedly "only" holds 1 million coins? That would put him closer 1 billion by my calculations.

Why the fuck would he be worth 10Billion ? The whole market cap is only 14B

Some say that satoshi nakamoto is not actually an individual but a group of people that created bitcoin.
I guess satoshi nakomoto wherever him/they maybe are already billionaires with millions of bitcoins in their sleeves.

he can't be worth that much even accounting the 1M coins he mined, which was then discovered to be only 200k, but need further notice on this i can't believe anymore the crap anyone is shooting here too much nosense by paid shill...

he can only reach 1B+ with 1 million coins, maybe they are giving a value to what satoshi was and what he have done with bitcoin and all, which is a different story and can e seen as an award

Satoshi is worthless. He is the one who start a revolution about new currency on this planet which is called cryptocurrency. He is the father of Bitcoin and grandfather of all other altcoins. I respect what he did even though I do not know who he is

Satoshi nakamoto is one of the greatest person that i know and he is the creator of the bitcoin but i believe that satoshi nakamoto is just a screen name and maybe he is not a japanese and just want to protect his identity so he just use that screen name.

Of course, he worth at least $10 Billion USD today because he got millions of bitcoin and if he want some money he just need to sell some of his stocks and gather the profit.

Many people seems to be terrified that Satoshi Nakamoto identity is not known, which is kind of understandable- having so many bitcoins causes that some part of BTC community is simply afraid of him.
Actually, they are not afraid of him: they are afraid of how many BTC Nakamoto owns.
However i don't expect him to cash them yet, i would sit calm and wait for better price.
And make small sell orders, not many big ones.

I remember once Gavin saying that the initial code on was looking like a "one man" job ... not a team  ::)
anyways I like his 'plausible deniable' crypto karate style  ;D

Oh no, not going to suggest for him to come back

My suggestion to know who is satoshi nakamoto

Hire many detectives, create a name organization (find satoshi nakamoto); Join all hakers, successful programmers, bitcoin experts, join bitcoin core, all forum members knock from door to door of their neighbors in search of satoshi nakamoto.

Dig all the earth, find this guy and your house.

Nobody have any information regarding him so he is still anonymous.

Bitcoins in his known addresses are still untouched.

There is no exact list of all addresses that he own.

May be more than that but it looks like he is not willing to be billionaire.

Correct. Let's just leave him and if he is after the money then absolutely he should have surface by now and claimed it. However, he wants to remain anonymous and worked hard for it so I doubt he shows up. He has his reasons, maybe because he was afraid of his life. And as time goes by, its proven that he should hide himself. Because bitcoin has change how the economics of on-line payment is and maybe the government will hunt him down for introducing a pseudo-anonymous currency, which is the bitcoin.

Satoshi would remain mysterious character in the history of bitcoin always people trying to find the fact but couldn't get succeed to know what is behind the scene. If Satoshi is a person than he has more than that what is hold of these addresses.

Did anyone else notice the date that OP posted this thread or am I the only one?  ::) .... I think the timing for a post like this on April fool's day

should tell most of you something about the content.... right? The whole Satoshi Nakamoto deal can quickly backfire, when people start threads

like this.... just ask Dorian Nakamoto.  :'(

Refer to Ajinomoto

Satoshi Nakamoto is destined to be the first trillionaire in the history of human kind. If we are going to keep going up and it looks like it, bitcoin will reach $10,000 in no (relative) time. As long as BUcoin fears we'll be flying high.

Of course, we are going to somehow activate segwit for that.

Everyone says that satoshi nakamoto is the one who created bitcoin But satoshi nakamoto is still unknown. I think satoshi is really a billionaire if he's the one who created bitcoin or maybe he's more than a billionaire, maybe he's the first person who is trillionaire maybe that's why he don't want to reveal himself.

As many people I believe there is not this person and is a fiction one or is a group behind him. As many in this forum had already posted there is no reason find him especially when his coins are sitting in the blockchain. When these coins starting to 'move' there are people to spread it everywhere in the net. Since then there is no reason searching for him.

satoshi is the one who create bitcoin mine bitcoin early days
but the coin and possible coin he have still not move until now
we can say if he still have the coin there a possibility of sudden crash in the price
for his bitcoin address you can see it in blockchain and start in block 1
as of now if they say he hold 1million btc its worth more than $1 billion so we can say that he worth $1 billion today

It's interesting -- everyone who people point fingers at and accuse of being Satoshi -- they don't want to be Satoshi.  Everybody who nobody thinks is Satoshi (cough Craig Wright cough) desperately wants to be known as Satoshi  ;)

satoshi forever will not show himself, he was like a prophet, there will be many people who will claim to be satoshi. This is very good considering the Bitcoin for decentralized mission will be achieved, and will eventually be included in a future government side, there is no important person behind bitcoin, satoshi only revolutionary inventor.

He can sell BTC for cash to buyers in another city wearing a motorbike helmet (not suspicious compare to a mask.)

Why do you want to find him?

I know who is Satoshi Nakamoto.

He is actually sitting beside me as I type this comment.

Do you guys have any question to ask him?

There are two Satoshi one is the inventor  and the other is his twin brother. Which Satoshi are you referring to worth $10 Billion ?

I'm a newbie here in the bitcoin world and I also did my research, If Satoshi Nakamoto is a person or even a organization he or she is one of the most brilliant mind on the world today by building this so called bitcoin and how it works. it must be very difficult to build or invent such thing and requires a lot of workload just to do it, I'm wondering how many years it took to design it.

Just like other people already explained, Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator of bitcoin and he is the genius who made this miracle and why we are here. I don't think satoshi nakamoto already worth $10 Bullion USD today because that is too big for the worth of his bitcoins i think it is just around billion of dollars and not ten billion but who knows if bitcoin will continue to pump then he will become a ten billionaire.

Satoshi will be the first trillionaire once we reach $100,000 per coin, that will be the price of bitcoin around 2027 when most coins are already mined. 21 BTC holders will be millionaires and satoshi will be a trillionaire, great deal if you ask me.

In order to be worth dollars there has to be someone willing to buy the item for dollars. If I was digging in my back yard and discovered a new gold vein in the rocks that was larger than any ever discovered I couldn't just dump all that gold on the market because there wouldn't be a market when I finished dumping.

The most he could be worth would be a few million, possibly more if he could find a couple of Winkledouche dumbass off book buyers to unload it on.

If he really is this wise intelligent mastermind of the greatest financial invention of all time, he would open an exchange. If he funded an exchange in a regulation free country (like Somalia, Latvia, Haiti, Macau) and sold his personal stash for every trade then he might be able to become a billionaire.

Even if he was not a billionaire, it seems he is the kind of people that don’t care for such a thing anyway, he probably cared about the challenge to create bitcoin and then when he created bitcoin he lost interests and that is why he left.

or maybe he just wants to see if bitcoin will change the world by just one currency and if it will make a change on how people look at other countries. Or maybe he wants to see if we'll be united by it.

Whatever satoshi wants out of his creation, I’m sure he is like in those gif where Michal Jackson is eating popcorn, he is probably still watching from afar and seeing us fighting over segwit and BU and having a good laugh.

What do you mean by "Is he worth over $10 billion?", are you trying to put a bounty on his head or do you want to kill him or something? because it sounds like you are, lol. But just like what we all know, we still don't know who is this real Satoshi Nakamoto, and it is hard to find someone that don't want to be found, so why bother finding him? I mean, what will change if he show himself in the public? Nothing right? Bitcoin will still remain bitcoin, and nothing could change that.

True. But I'm sure that he's holding a large amount of BTC. The reason he hides himself from the world is for security purposes and to avoid life threatening dangers, moreover is to avoid that he's name will be used in a bad image. He might be happy how BTC is going on with the pace of the world today but at the same time thinking about how he change the very life of others and how his invention is being used.


What truth are you talking about, no one knows the truth behind his identity. What I'm trying to say is this is the real thing. If this is just a fiction then we are having a very long realistic dream, owww and wait Bitcoin just sprout from nothingness and it's creator is a fictionalal character?

Think outside the box?
I'm just trying to say that it has a creator (group or association or team of programmers or whatever it is), well if you're trying to tell me that he's just a fictional character then you're also trying to say that like this universe, Bitcoin has been created just like that? Like he is a god in the digital world and spectrum space.?

Not really, before you have to go into bitcoin network i think it is not necessary also to know much about satoshi nakamoto, i believe we all are satoshi nakamoto and want something new for future economic system
