Offtopic: The christmas socks rock!
Ontopic: 980.000!!!!??? Woosh

lol funny

but yea it's crazy that he has so many

One wallet with 980.000 BTC might just be a time bomb.

yea but you also have to realize satoshi was very big about having a different address for each block reward, hints why we see a lot of 50BTC wallets

There is no BTC wallet with 980K coins. The richest wallet contains 144,341 BTCs and is tagged as DPR Seized Coins.

In my opinion, Satoshi is not possessing a large number of coins. He created the BTC for ideological reasons. Stashing up a large number of coins will be against his morals.

I find it hard to believe that Satoshi would not obtain at least a few examples of his own work, at least in celebration of his accomplishments and the potential for them to take off. A man has to take pride in his work. I'm not necessarily implying he has tons of bitcoins but I'd be surprised if he didn't have at least a few.

Yea, but if he still had the keys, it would be a temptation, how would he handle that when he knows the amount of money could feed every hungry person in the world? it's too much temptation, that's my .02 cents

The world will not know who Satoshi is until his will is read. I expect he will leave his bitcoins to someone.

Does anybody here knows how many coins were premined?

Satoshi did not premine this coin per say, what you have to realize is at first Satoshi was the only person on the project, then slowly people found out about bitcoin and joined him. I also find it hard to believe he would leave it in a will, even after he is dead the media would be able to tear every aspect of his life apart. I could only possibly entertain the idea that he would transfer the coins to someone maybe lol

None. The mining started on January 01, 2009. Not a single coin was not mined before that date. And dozens of people started mining on January 01, so we are sure that nothing immoral happened.
