where is that article which says mark karpeles has 330k personal bitcoins..... it was 8 months ago approx, reuters or forbes i think

I could be wrong but,
Wouldn't that be more than what the FBI has seized from Silkroad and DPR?


er... Yes

So doesn't that make Mark's wallet the biggest in the world?


No. Satoshi is estimated to have at least 1 million bitcoin stored in addresses with 50 BTC each.

That is just an estimation.

Also, many people mined back then and then deleted their wallets because it was worthless at the time.

So it is not certain as to how much coins Satoshi mined.

Also, it is not also certain that Satoshi even kept his wallets.


So it is not certain as to how much coins anyone has.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.
