Hello everyone I read many posts around here and operate my own 60TH Bitcoin farm but don´t comment much so please don´t disregard what I have to say for my new-member status.

This whole thing ties in nicely with a theory I´ve been developing over the past few days:

BTCS and Spondoolies merger is a terrible for Bitcoin and here´s why:

Since the day the merger was announced I watched every shareholder meeting of BTCS and most of the published numbers on the deal. It seems that Spondoolies sold its soul to the devil in order to gain access to the goldmine that is the American stock market, exchanging real value for inflated stock market value which will net the management (hundreds of) millions. So far so good.

However what this creates is: A: One HUGE new player in the market and B: A vacuum on the mining equipment side of things for the home-miner and even for medium sized operations like mine. This is the clearest shift away from the original "decentralized“ idea that Satoshi had and might deal a huge blow to the Bitcoin community as a whole. Other hardware manufacturers are way overpriced for what they can offer so anyone serious about making money through mining Bitcoins with a medium-sized operation is now pretty much dead in the water as are the many home-miners even though it is not as bad for them, because profitability often isn´t the priority here.

Now, old funds are being moved and to me this all points to one thing: Someone just realized that the original dream is dead.

I know many will hate me for saying this, including myself because I invested everything I had into my farm, but decentralization left the Bitcoin world the very second that merger was signed.

From a recent exchange with Spondoolies-Tech I know that even a 90.000 Euro ($101.000) offer could not entice them to sell one or two SP-50 and even thou I purchased 50 Miners from SP last year I do not qualify as one of the “select group of customers” to use SP terminology.

All this tells me that someone is very disappointed with where things went and it´s not just me.

Call me crazy but I believe many more funds from old wallets will be moving soon and quite possibly we won´t notice most of those movements.

On a personal note: I am clearly not unbiased in this as I feel anger towards BTCS for doing exactly what I did (finding low cost power and rented-space) but being so much more successful at it than me and regret towards SP-Tech because the real value of its business compared to BTCS is 100x higher. (They used the company revenue as a measure of how much both companies are worth, ignoring the value of technology, customer satisfaction and brand-strength involved on SP´s side of the deal.)

On a even more personal note: If you feel I hijacked this thread with my post please let me know and I will remove and reopen as a new Posting. And please excuse my rusty English, it´s been a while...

Bitcoin cannot be destroyed (or seriously affected) by 'companies' that claim to be "experts in blockchain technology".
...and the original dream is not dead!

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

I don´t know (does anybody?) however, I do know that if you remove the small-to-medium miners the dream of decentralization evaporates and BTC might die once you remove that component because it is the involvement of the people that keeps it alive, just like you and me talking about it now. Would we still be talking about this if it was just another, cheaper version of VISA where 5 big companies do everything and we have no stake in it?

If Satoshi come back that would be very nice for the bitcoin community. We will all go for party.
But, in a decentralization environment we need to solve all the hurdles we face, we should not expect the creator to solve all the issues we face. So, Satoshi should come back for a party. We need to acknowledge him for his greater work.

Great news?
When Satoshi finally, really dumps all of his alleged stash, then people will no longer fear the increase in supply.

Reality Check
In the future, people will pay huge sums of money to "actually own a whole BTC!!"
^^^
A) If you believe the above, then it doesn't matter (long-term) if/when Satoshi sells his stash.
B) If Bitcoin fails, then it doesn't make any difference  (long-term) if/when Satoshi sells his stash.

I think he will never do it at once, becuase this action will kill his beloved child, BTC. He would rather do it a small part at a time (maybe he's already doing this), but never at once.

Yes. He has full right to sell them, more over he must be in full aware of what will happen when he selling all his coin at once. So, people need not worry about his hoardings.
I too believe that Satoshi already started selling his coins. That's his wish.

I don't know, I have a gut feeling that he will not sell them soon and that he might sell them only when Bitcoin becomes so big that people even wouldn't care if he cashes out or not.

He is not into this because of money. This guy is so smart that he's probably a millionaire already by doing something else. He has invented Bitcoin to change the world and he will not jeopardize Bitcoin's existence at this still vulnerable moment for Bitcoin just to make some profits.

That would never happen. If he ever sell, he always need to do it silently. Market will always react -vely to his selling news.

It´s a (in my opinion) cheaply made online-shopping website for Bitcoins hence the name BTCS = BiTCoinShop who have pivoted into a mining facility but realy add 0 real value to Spondoolies except for millions of cash from the stock market because this cheap online shop is somehow publicly traded in the US. I realy hope Spondoolies find a way out of that relation and come back to the miners instead of cashing out on the stockmarket... they can´t be trusted anymore because now it´s no longer about real profits by making good equipment its all about "looking good" to investors and stock market people wich is also why they decided to spill the beans about the SP50 EXACTLY at the same time they finished the merger... it will make their stock look more appealing.

To be honest I wouldn´t even be all up in their shit if they would just sell the damn things but by now I´m thinking the SP50 is nowhere near ready for shipping... it was just a big hoax to drive up stock prices for BTCS wich they now own 47% of.

I´d guess the SP50 will be ready soon and thats when they will start selling to the public because it makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER to actualy put them into BTCS´ mining facility when they can make MUCH MORE MONEY selling the damn things instead of waiting and hoping for a ROI and they know that...
Even with a pricetag of 70.000 per piece they would have sold many by now and if they realy want to mine they could still do that once the orders dry up because cash in hand is better than ROI in the future... every businessman knows that. It´s all about the HUGE stock market cash.

Bottom line, the whole: "We are selling to special customers only at this time" is a lie, they arent selling anything because nothing is ready to sell, if it was, they´d sell to everyone.

What does it matter? Wtf is wrong with people these days asking questions like this? Your teacher lied to you... there ARE dumb questions and you SHOULD refrain from asking them. You´re wasting everyones time just because you decide to not bother reading information already aviable (and easy to find) and don´t deserve to get spoon-fed a answer. Or do you not know how to google for a name? The ONLY excuse you could have for this is if you where under 10 oder over 90 years of age because every 11 year old can google for information these days.

It's a mystery still.
But Satoshi is not a team name.
But some bitcoin early developers hide their identity. Later they are altogether refereed as Satoshi. In that group, there are chances for both the genders.

I think I missed this thread. It was indeed a shocking news that old coins was moving. Reading on... so it was a guy who mined Bitcoin back in the 2009 and only start moving them today. I wonder what would happen if verified Satoshi Bitcoin addresses are moving coins...

Is Satoshi a SHE or a HE or a Team?

I refer to Satoshi Nakamoto as He/She/They or His/Her/Their simply because no one know who is/created Satoshi Nakamoto.

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.

Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!

Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

your first statement contradicts your second statement.

if you done any research youwould know satoshi is a single person and people that were arround in spring 2009 such as hal finney ans sirius never refered to themselves as 'team satoshi' or satoshi..

neither did the pre-2009 release group of people on the other forums refer to themselves as team satoshi.

satoshi is none of the names such as hall, sirius, wei, nick, etc.. satoshi is a sole entity, not a group.

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.
Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at
