What if Satoshi was already a billionaire who didn't care how much he had

Possibly.

But satoshi can't cash in on his BTC's as he would lose his anonymity.

There is a lot of information about Nakamoto Satoshi, however, we can not be sure that it is accurate, none of us knows about it, he can be a person or an organization working together and Developed, what we can be sure is that he is the one who created the bitcoin, he is a very talented person. I admire him. He knows very well what he has created, so I believe he is a billionaire, with his talent, money is too easy to get. I look forward to seeing him once.

Yes, this.
Also, I expect the Bitcoin world to go crazy if Satoshi even just spends his BTC. Not mentioning cashing out or anything.
Bitcoin price is due to it's scarcity. What if all of a sudden, he stops holding this 1M BTC and that gets to the market.
Price should decrease.

If Satoshi is still alive and holds his coins, that means in my opinion that he believes in the success of his experiment.
As soon as he starts moving his stash bitcoiners will panic.

Do we have any proof of that 1M BTC? Do we know if he is holding any bitcoins at all? We naturally think so but what if he cashed out his bitcoins locally?

All this anonymous Satoshi thing smells very shady btw. He can't stay anonymous with all those forum posts, emails and stuff. Nobody can.

The secret service probably knows his identity or he is the secret service. There is no other explanation to that.

After 4 or so months here, I still haven't have the faintest idea of who he is or how to find him.  

If he does have that much btc though, I guess I would also prefer him to hold on to them, to avoid a sudden crash. Maybe when all the bitcoins have been mined, maybe he can release them into circulation bit by bit, so that there would still be some larger price movement and so that people would have the chance to own them.

Where did you get the figure of $10Bn from? At best Satoshi would have a million coins?
That would make him a billionaire. Not $10 Bn.

[BitHodler]

@mindrust.

It's just assumed that he owns around 1 million BTC, but there is no solid proof that can be used to back up this claim. People are just wildly guessing and nothing more.

People just look at the earliest 50BTC block rewards that are being mined into each time a different address. It's of course likely to think they belong to him since it was so early on, but again, no proof to back this up.

Btw, coins to this day are still untouched.

Satoshi Nakamoto is just a fictional character.

Only a dead person would be without desire for fame and fortune.

Check out In-Q-Tel if you want to know the origin of "Satoshi Nakamoto".

Yeah, after all he created bitcoin and was the 1st person to mine it. But anyways isn't OP late to the party of "Who's Satoshi" isn't this been discussed like thousands of time on this forum.

[Genedarner123]

dont we have a richlist for BTC ..... cant we find the wallet address
everyone want to meet him. one created such a bit revolution and still managed to stay anonymous

[rajasumi3]

He would not cash out his bitcoins .his only motive was to eradicate the government rule and make way for anonymity transactions .
He made bitcoins so that world could be a better place when people have power on their own hands, there s no need of a government to run.

[Yanisumin]

Satoshi Nakamoto is just a fictional character.

What do you mean by that? I mean just like in a movies, novel, comics or anime? That came up by just a mere imagination? We're talking aboutnreal thing here. It maybe just a pseudonym but what he did is real. It's not some kind of a fiction or imagination.

Only a dead person would be without desire for fame and fortune.

I don't know the real reason why he just vanished without a trace. It leads to assumptions that Satoshi Nakamoto is dead. But nope. There are some people out there today that don't desire money and fame. If there is one thing that can't resist by a genius (e.g.satoshi) it will be audience. That is one of the frailty of genius, it needs an audience.

He represents everything that Bitcoin stands for. Even after having a value of more than 1000$, you can send and receive Bitcoins anonymously.
He should have been the most famous person right now. Obviously one of the richest.

[randal9]

It is not impossible if he is holding a million bitcoin or more,  why not, if ever we are in his situation we will do the same.
Anyway, it doesn't matter as long as we value what we have now if you don't have bitcoin yet in your wallet then, it is not too late to have one.
There are ways, who knows that time will come you will have millions too.

We don't know what's his plan on his bitcoin maybe he's still waiting for bitcoin to reach $10000 before he cash out some of it with so many bitcoin mixer now he can manage to withdraw his bitcoin anonymously,he knows the value of what he created so he knows when to cah out his bitcoin.

As quoted the present time too is not that late to have one bitcoin into the wallet. The thing is different with Satoshi, because lot of users have claimed themselves as Satoshi. That's the reason why the identity is not clear, else he could have been found same as you and me. The reason is that in the beginning he has participated in several discussion regarding bitcoin.

What is so surprising if "Satoshi Nakamoto" is fictional? What's so hard to believe?
Think outside the box. You could find the truth out there.

Everyone (including people entering monastic life) desire money and fame.
In Buddhism, it was taught that souls on earth spend countless of eons going through countless cycles of life and death on earth while creating and settling karmic debt non-stop.
Only those who are truly liberated and ascended are without desire of money and fame.
"Satoshi Nakamoto" is not it.

Fictional character or not, facts remain facts.

I invite you to check this article : https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/the-well-deserved-fortune-of-satoshi-nakamoto/

(TL;DR : There is one entity that mined from block 1 and for quite some time that ows ~1M unspent BTC since the beginning of bitcoin. The ultimate bitcoin holder/believer  )
You can check all this out in the blockchain.

Who mined that block ? https://blockchain.info/block/00000000839a8e6886ab5951d76f411475428afc90947ee320161bbf18eb6048
See, the 50 BTC are unspent.

This is "Satoshi Nakamoto".
Now, either he/they hold the private keys and haven't spend the BTC yet, or the coins are burnt because privkey were lost/deleted on purpose.
So far, we can't know that..
