Satoshi: "You should never delete a wallet"

[Shindo1988]

I agree with Satoshi.
You should never delete a wallet.
Send it to me instead

The person who originally sent the broken transactions deleted his wallet

Sigh... why delete a wallet instead of moving it aside and keeping the old copy just in case?  You should never delete a wallet.

For sure he has a backup. Somewhere...

Probably, but if he died without telling anyone about it, then they may have been deleted or destroyed by whomever gained control of his things.

I don't believe Satoshi has the keys to his wallet(s), nor has he ever actually kept them in any way. He was all about decentralization, and if he held that many coins, he knew people would have to live in constant "fear" of him being able to release a ton of coins. We waned out his influence on the network gradually in order to give it to the public domain.

Some times it comes handy to save your old wallets. In 2014 I got sent $400 in btc and that person used my oldest wallet as destination by mistake.

If I didn't had a backup of my first wallet then these coins would sit there for ever without moving. Indeed never delete wallets.

Im pretty sure he still owns the coins. No one would know he owns those coins, because no one knows who he is in real life, therefore there's nothing to worry about that, he could go on being a multimillionaire anonymously.

Nah, the pumpkin is right... As soon as a single satoshi (no pun intended) of those coins move, we knew that Satoshi was still in control over all those coins. That someone could, in the blink of an eye, move thousands upon thousands of coins. That would move the market.

I'm curious why there are so many Satoshi worship threads. If there were a sub-forum devoted to Satoshi, how much activity would it see?

Psss, if it weren't for Satoshi we wouldn't be here today.
On the topic though, you should really never delete a wallet.

Nice find OP. Yes the post speaks for itself, as long as he is alive then his wallets are backed up and safer than any of ours are. Now what happens when he moves some to sell. Shocker! Bitcointalk and the markets will be going mental lol

That's a very big and interesting list of names.
May I ask what makes you think that these people even have a clue as to who Satoshi is?

[Kaneki]

    maybe this time he began to prepare most of the coin coins he had for a jump in market 

[GambitBTC]

He said Mark Zuckerberg though

What proof do those people have to have meet Satoshi in person? I don't believe it for a second, specially people like Winklevoss Twins, mark Karpeles... why would those meet Satoshi for?

They were all my classmates from the inception of Bitcoin at Harding. They'll all deny it though. Bunch of back-stabbers.
