We have heard so many stories of people who joined Bitcoin mining around the time that Satoshi Nakamoto was around, and how a lot of them lost their private keys in one way or the other, so it is also possible that it can be someone who happened to find their own private keys and logged into the wallet to move their funds.

There isn’t a way that we can be so sure that this is Satoshi Nakamoto himself, since there are also other people that were around then and mining Bitcoin, and it is also possible that there are a few of them who might have stashed some Bitcoin in their wallet and saved it till date. So, you just can’t tell.

Until now, this assumption is still gray, there are those who think this is SN and there are also those who mention holder. if it is SN then it is very natural that he holds it in large numbers because what he believes is valuable and becomes real because it is a fair amount and truth as real it is satosi nakamoto is very possible the year 2010 a few years after the emergence of BTC in which the trust of bitcoin is still fragile

Yet another anonymous bitcoin transaction of about 489 btc that is worth $20,000,000 million was said to occur from a domant bitcoin wallet address as reported by a tracking bot called "whale alert" with details traced to October 2010 of it last active date, this  was related to the last active date of bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto on the bitcointalk.org forum in December, 2010 and such has spark many reactions and controversial views that it may be Satoshi bitcoin wallet, you could recall that the founder was last active on the forum same year the bitcoin wallet address was last active which makes it ignites lot of reactions that such could only be from Satoshi.

The last time the inoperative address was functioning,  Bitcoin was trading at a price of about $0.17. The top crypto asset by market cap has appreciated a staggering 23,150,500% during the time the address’s period of inactivity.

To be sincerely with the way it looks from the above quote, one could easily believe its Satoshi haven being in possession of such huge amount as at then and from the look of the price at $0.17 btc worth placed on (hodl) over a very long time, and the wallet it was transferred into remains anonymous. who could have been smarter in doing this other than the founder himself as of then when information and technology of bitcoin ecosystem is premitive to bitcoiners.

The most likely theory is that someone accidentally found their long-lost private keys and gained access to a massive fortune. Some are also speculating that the owner got out of jail and finally managed to cash out the cryptocurrency.

I agree with the second theory, so many people realized in the last few years that they had a lot of bitcoins sitting somewhere, probably because they mined them years and years ago and forgot where they store them. I believe Satoshi will never touch his bitcoins.
