December 2015 a Bitcointalk member discovered a puzzle transaction while playing around with his bot:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306983.msg13381244#msg13381244
At that time nobody declared such a puzzle transaction which was created January 2015 until the creator of that competition came out 2 years later:

As of 01/10/2019 there are still more than 100 BTC to win. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166284.0

We think that the early mined coins of Satoshi are also a prize competition and that Satoshi is waiting this coins to be moved. We also think that he will not respond after somebody moves the first coins but it will be a message to the Bitcoin community that the private keys are somehow on the blockchain. If Satoshi disagreed with that conclusion he would have moved the coins to other addresses.

Everyone could.

I prefer to assume that he is alive and well, obviously this presents the question of how can someone have so much money and not touch it?

Satoshi knew that all. He tested all the blockchain with many computers before releasing the applications. He knew what can happen.
He has mined other coins than https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=175996.0. He has enough coins, these addresses we don't know.

assuming satoshi can still move their/his coins

He can but he will not. We think that the early mined coins of Satoshi are created as a prize competition (Re: Maybe Satoshi created the greatest prize competition https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5150688.0) and that Satoshi is waiting this coins to be moved. We also think that he will not respond when somebody moves the first coins but it will be a message to the Bitcoin community that the private keys are somehow on the blockchain. Satoshi could move the coins (2009/2010) to P2PKH addresses but did not.

SHA-256 is very strong.  It's not like the incremental step from MD5 to SHA1.  It can last several decades unless there's some massive breakthrough attack.

But he did not transfer the early mined coins to SHA-256/RIPEMD addresses. It would change the structure of the prize competition.

* 100% sure that it is a prize competition
* 100% sure that you can solve it only with the blockchain
* still trying to solve it
* one day someone will solve it

Yes, almightyruler, anything could have happened. And Satoshi knew that all. He tested all the blockchain with many computers before releasing the applications. He knew what can happen.

Gavin Andresen started a project to give away free Bitcoins https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/ (no more working) and Satoshi wrote June 2010:
Excellent choice of a first project, nice work. I had planned to do this exact thing if someone else didn't do it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=183.msg1620#msg1620

He waited but thought that someone else will do it. We think that he is waiting that someone moves the early mined coins to show to the Bitcoin community that it's a prize competition and that the private keys are somehow on the blockchain.
