What will happen if Satoshi moves or sells his Bitcoin?

[Abiky]

What you ever wondered what will happen with Bitcoin once Satoshi moves his/her/their coins to another address on the Blockchain? While most people are focused on other aspects of Bitcoin, they haven't realized that one day Satoshi could decide to dump all of his/her/their coins for profit. Or he/she/they could decide to manipulate the market with the huge stash of coins. This will certainly bring the attention of many crypto enthusiasts as recent network activity could indicate that Satoshi is still alive.

Remember how people reacted when Charlie Lee announced that he sold all of his LTC? People had mix reactions and those who didn't like what he did most likely sold also. It's possible that we will see the same market reaction. People have gotten used to whales moving BTC worth millions of dollars but it's different if it's Satoshi. Too many curious cats monitoring his wallet.

[Fesatmas]

obviously this will cause unstoppable unrest. after all, our belief over the years in the existence of bitcoin is one blood. So if Satoshi did it for the sake of ending the journey of nearly 13 years, it would be a waste, maybe he would kill us in the market and lose all our assets. but instead he will be hunted down by all parties and that involves millions of people.

I really did not expect it, and you certainly do not really agree with it.

Certainly this  would be terrible. There is no reason for him to do that, unless he would like to expose himself or to damage bitcoin.

If he moves his BTC people would be sure he is alive and doing something. Many people would start tracking him.... 

I believe that if Satoshi revealed himself the outcome would be terrible. He would become something like a bitcoin CEO, things would start to go centralized on him... at least politically speaking.

I doubt he would ever do something like that.

One of the things that makes bitcoin amazing is that it is growing without any central authority. Nobody controls it.

Satoshi does not needs to sell the coins to create the panic in the market, just moving his coins alone will send panic warning to the entire market and we will see a major correction even if he moves the coins from his known wallets and that is the influence of the creator and the coins he is holding.
I hope we will not see that situation anytime soon, if he wants to move he would have already done that and we have not seen any signs as of yet.

[LoyceV]

Or he/she/they could decide to manipulate the market with the huge stash of coins.

Satoshi could have done that any time in the past decade, but didn't. This isn't something I worry about, and even if it would happen, it would just be absorbed by the market.

Remember what happened when the BearWhale dumped 30,000 Bitcoin in a limit order? This happened:

In a few hours, many Bitcoin owners increased their stash. The more whales sell, the more smaller users get to own.

[Poker Player]

As it seems most likely that these bitcoins will not move, since they have not moved in all this time, I wonder what is the reason. I can see three reasons:

1) Satoshi is dead
2) He doesn't care about the money or doesn't need it. His creation is somewhat superior to the personal profit he could make.
3) He lost the keys.

2) it is more difficult to believe, there are not many people like that in the world, although there are some. Also in this case it would be normal to think that he is not going to give the keys to anyone and that when he dies, no one will have access to those keys, if he has not already destroyed them.
3) It is also hard to believe, but it is not impossible.

In any case, I think we can consider those Bitcoins as lost as the most likely scenario.

[concept2]

It is hard to imagine but such scenario only bring awful consequence.  A father sells his own sons will cause people in panic.

But in reality, Nakamoto will never do that, I guess. He has created bitcoin for the sake of humanity and decentralization. Then, he chose to live outside the stage and let bitcoin a vast space to perform. More than 10 years since bitcoin was created  and that is enough for him to observe how bitcoin has changed the world.

Does that mean you still believe that Satoshi is still alive out there?

Keep in mind that if the bitcoin supply is higher than the demand, the price will go down. This is the easiest scenario to guess what would happen if there were a lot of discarded bitcoins on the market. IMO, if satoshi is really alive then I'm not sure he really want to sell all those bitcoin. There are great options instead of selling all of his asset and I think he can still sell some of them and adopt bitcoin in his new business. It seemed that this choice was not sufficient to influence large-scale price reductions.

[androyster]

If Satoshi sells his bitcoin the price will go way down.  At that time folks should buy as much as they can afford because the price will go right back up in a few years to where it is now or even better.  This is MHO.

[BIT-BENDER]

Although it's far much to unlikely it will happen, Satoshi might move some Bitcoin to another wallet but not all, and is very reasonable to think that he can have some-so many hidden unknown to mass number of people.

If there is a sell-off of bitcoin from any known wallet of his and the amount sold are much I think even I will try to understand why that had happen, but still this is his property we talking about here, and he may be criticized though but as in his anonymous style may not be bothered.

[jossiel]

That would be a flash crash.

It's a disaster for most that don't have the patience to watch the effect of it. And will push a lot of newbies and probably some experienced holders to sell because they might think that it's the end just like those days when bearish days.

But there go the institutions and for sure they'll be smiling while putting those buy orders while looking at the market by that time.

Isn't Bitcoin already priced into 21 million finite?
What difference would it make if any one moved Bitcoin around?

[dothebeats]

With how big the market has become, I don't think it would matter that much if Satoshi is to sell all of his coins right now. It would just be bought up by whales and organizations that are currently feasting on any coins that they can get. Plus, the small-sized owners of bitcoin would have some of the pot, too, if they do have the money to buy even just one bitcoin. But from the looks of things, I doubt Satoshi would come back and start selling his stash. It's either that the 1m+ coins he left are parting gifts to increase the value of bitcoin, or he simply doesn't care anymore as he achieved his aspirations.

[Vatimins]

     And again, satoshi's name is being murdered lol. I wish people would just let the guy be at peace inwatching where his creation goes. The guy clearly doesn't want any involvement in bitcoin anymore or is already dead so just ket the name rest.

     But on a serious note though, just to oblige, if a scenario such as what you are saying really does happen then I think it is only natural to see a huge crash in the price of bitcoin and would be long before it recovers. But it sure will. Because there are already a lot of big names that are locked onto bitcoin it won't be that easy to get rid of it.

It would be surely be noticed right away when these coins do make out some movement neither on having a simple transfer to a new wallet or moving those funds into an exchange
considering the number of coins that had been moved then this will really be creating some sort of panic if it turns out that those coins were sold but i highly doubt that
Satoshi would make out such step and if he do really like for his creation to rise up that high then that sort of trust that he would put and wouldnt make out any sell
is likely to happen.

This question is very common, everyone is curious that Satoshi Nakamoto may one day sell all the Bitcoins of his holding and cause a dump in the Bitcoin market. Did Satoshi Nakamoto create Bitcoin to destroy it with his own hands! I sincerely believe that Satoshi Nakamoto will never sell all his Bitcoins together, he is a talented man and as well as a kind-hearted human so he is the most trusted person in this community. I think Already he has made a lot of profit by creating/mining Bitcoin and if he ever decides to sell his held Bitcoin, he will make the right decision.

Im not worried either, any correction in the market if Satoshi moved or sold
Bitcoin would only be temporary as buyers snap up cheap Bitcoin while others
panic and sell.

Why do some people think there would be a Bitcoin armageddon or
something catastrophic? Bitcoin is way bigger than 1 person

[yhiaali3]

According to expectations, Satoshi could have mined about a million BTC in the first months of his invention of Bitcoin, this is equivalent to the current price of Bitcoin about $ 62 billion, this is a very huge number Satoshi has become one of the largest rich people in the world now because expectations say that he keeps these quantities until now .
If Satoshi thought to sell these huge amounts of bitcoin that he owns, it would certainly cause a dramatic drop in the bitcoin price because the supply will increase dramatically in exchange for demand, but I expect Satoshi to be wiser than to do this foolish act and cause great harm to his spoiled bitcoin who invented it. By himself.

There are provably big news will happen even if the amount move is so little since imagine for so many years he moves his coin and sell off. Maybe this could start a fear that Satoshi is dumping or maybe others will be happy to see that since Satoshi is showing a sign of life which we didn't see before. But seems this will not happen for now as no sign or fuds showing about this.
