1. make them smell nice.

2. show them they can get 15% discount from amazon if they buy from purse.io using bitcoin.

The guy has just done a runner from australia
as he caught attempting a tax scam
trying to move BTC about, and then claim $3million in fiat back from aus gov as gst refund
but they caught him at it
his many companies are all dodgy

this guy is a business man first, with greed paving his way
now he is out of options, except for keep digging the hole deeper

one thing is for sure, if he was SN, he would not attempt a tax scam
he wouldnt get investments from others, he wouldnt have any need to setup numerous companies to get investments
and he 100% would have spent some of his BTC by now and not needed to dela with anyone

it would be so easy to dissapear (like he claims he wants) why not just dissapear


Personally after reading a bit but with nothing but logic,
Hal Finney is my likely candidate,
maybe it will come out later when his heirs get access to his btc stash
but being part of the first transaction puts him top of the chart for me
and creating SN meant he could live his last years in peace
and SN the myth would be much more iconic and would have more impact and be safer.

It would be such a wonderful gift for someone to leave the world before they went.

EDIT:
just read about Dave Kleiman,
seems he is also a top contender, and the scene described when they found his body sounds really fishy
the coinsidence of these two also passing within years of BTC being released is also fishy as they were both still young

"Dave Kleiman was found dead in his home. According to reports provided by the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner Office, the scene of Kleiman’s death was gruesome. His body was decomposing, there were wheelchair tracks of blood and fecal matter, open bottles of alcohol, and a loaded handgun next to him. A bullet hole in his mattress would seem to suggest suicide or foul play, but no ammunition casings were found, meaning he might have fired his gun and cleaned up sometime before dying. The official cause of death is listed as natural, and Conrad remembers hearing that the MRSA had stopped Kleiman’s heart."

this is just good news
Russia telling criminal organisations that they should be using bitcoin to luander their millions
this will only drive up its use by people moving big amounts
so good for btc price

if you think you can publicly announe "i have $400 million dollars" (of whatever)
and you are going to be left alone lol

governments dont let that type of amounts slide
and you would quickly be detained until they find a "legal solution"

The BBC is also a government agency (controlled business)
The UK top brass would know about this before it got aired
and if it were true they (MI6, NSA, CIA) would have got him before he could sit in front of a camera

the guy cannot even finish his own website
seems like 2 clicks in softaculous to install phpBB is too much for him

his haircut gives him away for me.

1 million bitcoins

where did you get this info ?
do you have a reference ?

a documentory (cant remember details off top of my head) showed an interview with one of the top miners, and american that moved his mining to china, he stated he knew other (farm) miners in china and that were losing money when the price was at $250

so how do you figure they are earning 4 times their consumption ?
even with price where it is today

miners will need the price increase,
it wont happen at the halving, it seems like everyone is expecting a massive jump in a single day
which although you may see a bubble (or a few) burst around that time due to speculative trading
price will continue to rise for the months after the halving, similar to the last halving
