Satoshi 9Th Richest Person in the Earth

[Mahiyammahi]

According to Arkham Satoshi Nakamoto holding BTC is worth approximately $150B , previously $130B+ in terms of market cap it's 6% . So right now satoshi nakamoto is holding the entire 6% valuation of Bitcoin. The fact is this assets is rising , and growing till the very second it's passed.


Very first bitcoin was traded price of $0.0009/BTC a total of 5050 BTC  in 2009 which is now 12,393,636,300% gain. That means your $1 of investment could have turned $10 in todays value. I belive there is still those cheap prices Bitcoin is circulating on market. Just they are in cold sleep. Like a sciences fiction they will be released from cold sleep one day.

What would happen if Satoshi Nakamoto suddenly reappeared and started making small transactions? Considering his estimated 6% share of all Bitcoin, it could potentially shake up the entire crypto ecosystem.
What do you think your first move would be if Satoshi’s wallet suddenly became active?

Honestly, it gives me chills to see Satoshi now ranked among the richest people on earth, not because he chased wealth but because his creation naturally earned that value from the free market.

Bitcoin wasn’t built for personal gain; it was built to give people financial freedom, yet it's now has succeeded in achieving it's primary aims as well as making the innovator(s) one of the most iconic names in global finance.

The fact that this vision alone now holds such value shows how deeply Bitcoin has changed the world. If he ever did reappear or move his coins, it would definitely cause panic at first but it might also restore a bit of mystery and energy in the Bitcoin community. Still, I think his absence is what keeps the project truly decentralized.

I've a feeling these guys have no idea how much Bitcoin Satoshi has in it's totality. They know the ones he mined out for the community and made public. After his disappearance he might have been a miner and gotten other loads of Bitcoin for himself apart from the ones we're sure about. Anyways he still merits the position to be listed in the rankings of world richest men. I love that feather to his cap. God bless Satoshi and Bitcoin, he made us have total right and control over our money. Truly decentralization is the best way to hold your assets

Many congratulations and best wishes to Satoshi, the creator of Bitcoin, on becoming the ninth richest person in the world.
The richest man in the world wouldn't want his wealth to be lost. You know very well what kind of impact it would have on the market if Satoshi became active and transferred even a single Satoshi of his Bitcoin wallet.
If Satoshi is alive, he has realized that if a single digit is changed from his wallet, his Bitcoins will have no value. That's why he is either in hiding or he is no longer alive in the world. If he is not alive, then it is unlikely that his wallet will ever be active again.

It can trigger mixed signals and if he is just letting the world know he is still exists with 0.1 transfer or even few whole bitcoins, then this will lead to an extremely bullish wave but imagine he sends thousands of bitcoins to another address then the speculation will arise that he is selling his bitcoin so it's time for the holders to do it too and then it will turn into be extremely bearish.

If he didn't try to do anything with his bitcoins in 2014,2018, and 2020 then I don't think why it is any different this time. Just quoting his words "I’ve moved on to other things".

First I think it's important for you to understand the part that Satoshi is actually a pseudonymous entity which simply means they haven't been able to prove if he's a single person or a group. If you read about the creation of bitcoin you'll discover that majority of articles you'll come across will suggest that Satoshi is a group simply because of how complex bitcoin's protocol is.

Satoshi mined millions of coins and the amount you see online is just a speculation of what he may still have control over. With that many keys it's also possible he doesn't have access to some of them.

I’m out of merit right now but bro you said my mind….
How can you quantify the wealth of satoshi when the identity is not revealed and perhaps you captioned it as a person, we don’t know if it’s them, him or she. And until there is a solid proof that it’s not an entity then we can quantify his wealth. In opinion everything the media show about satoshi networth is fallacy for now.

And be sides we have threads that talked about if they/him or her, appears and that making TX, it would be catastrophic but then is it possible? Of course no one knows.

If they have their wallet.dat.. and we keep support for old school wallets.  I mean Satoshi mined wicked early; From January 9th 2009 onward to probably mid 2010.  There is proof of Satoshi gathering many rewards every few minutes.  He has from my analysis over 35,000 private keys, every time in the old Bitcoin code you'd get a new private key added to your wallet every time you were rewarded 50 BTC.  The dat file contained many private keys and addresses.  The format has changed very much since then.  You'd need to write a custom parser to parse the old wallet file(s) to generate proper WIFs and all for modern day usage then import that into say Electrum.

Difficulty got hard very quick.  I can see Satoshi did receive many BTC early on but after January 2009 it's rather hard to tell.

It wasn't very complex; It was just a combination of known ideas!

[CryptoYar]

[...]

Yes I agree creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto works under fake name and nobody knows he or she is single individual or group of people. Since technical rules of Bitcoin are highly complex it is assumed by many that group of people must have developed it. And yes it is believed that Satoshi had mined approximately one million Bitcoins initially but this is merely estimate because Bitcoins have never been transferred out of original accounts. Satoshi may have lost digital keys to access some of those coins and so amount of coins they still control is unknown as well even with all of them.

If earlier regards to what Bitcoin was and what it is now is being accorded to this excitement, then we can also appreciate those early days that mining could be done with simple computers with lesser complexity which on it course is how Satoshi has also acquired the gratitude portfolio.
So can also put to that similar thought if you had also mined in those days 2009 when mining rewards high and just by using very low devices like desktops and laptops.

I think if we have to regret missing buying Bitcoin when the value was as low as affordable, then we can also express about missing the Satoshi early days mining but that is not the case.
The good thing is that Bitcoin has gained values and has become attractive for global adoption Which is also how its value has reached this height. So you could hsd do be holding the equivalent of today's Bitcoin value if you had mined and earned Bitcoin rewards freely just by mining the blocks.

You see... It is all round to how to accumulate large amount of Bitcoin then while the good still remains that we can still buy and own some by how much we can afford.

A note is it is only estimation as Arkham Intelligence and all of us can identify all Bitcoin addresses of Satoshi Nakamoto.

What do you think your first move would be if Satoshi’s wallet suddenly became active?

I don't mind about it as if it is Satoshi Nakamoto, he will never move and dump all of his bitcoins on the market. The market will not be crashed by Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoin movement and sales.

[Razmirraz]

If Satoshi suddenly reappeared and started making small transactions, the impact would be huge. While the initial market reaction may be massively volatile, Bitcoin's value could surge to unprecedented levels due to the FOMO push from retail and institutional investors, including large whales, who want to enjoy this rare sensation. However, after that, there will likely be an extreme reduction in value due to uncertainty about Satoshi's intentions in suddenly reactivating his wallet and making transactions on the old Bitcoins he owns, which will be a major factor affecting the price of Bitcoin.

The long-term dynamic impact will also greatly affect the price of Bitcoin due to the emergence of Satoshi, his safety will also be threatened due to being the target of assassination carried out by people who have long felt that their businesses are threatened by the presence of Bitcoin. If he is actually doing some activity in his wallet, we need to take a more realistic view and make an analytical decision about buying, selling or holding it for a while longer.

[Cryptohygenic]

I belive there is still those cheap prices Bitcoin is circulating on market. Just they are in cold sleep. Like a sciences fiction they will be released from cold sleep one day.

Don't wait for the dump because that low price you are expecting might not come and the best cheap bitcoin can go is the range we currently have which might seem actually seem too high now but in matter of time this remarked current values will be history and those who  feared to buy now will not longer see this opportunity again because bitcoin has limited supplies and with quite how adoption rate is increasing and what the price as ascribed in the very tense of it existence according to the coin marketcap, it is believable that price will keep increasing in time.
Another moment you will see bitcoin to show cheaper price is based on its volatilities that is not periodically determined. So don't expect the dump before you can buy because you might not see it at that very speculation that it holds some cheap Price.

It just won't happen because Satoshi already anticipated his exit, and it seems he won't show himself again to keep the Bitcoin ecosystem running as he had planned, so with this I don't think his wallet will be active again, and he also has no interest in making a single transaction, even if his assets are worth trillions of dollars, he just has no interest in being involved in Bitcoin anymore and has left for good.

Are you him or are you related to him? How do you know what he is thinking and what he’s going to do?

Anything can happen. Even though he has been silent for over 15 years, that doesn't mean he will never come back or won't touch those bitcoins in the future. Or is there any guarantee he only owns that wallet and no others? Over the years there have been many wallets from the time of Satoshi's awakening that have sold Bitcoins, and who among us can guarantee that it wasn't Satoshi.

[john_egbert]

I wouldn't be able to do anything with it, imo, it's just a piece of info I would get.

And, after all - we won't know all the wallets of Satoshi, and that's okay. Let him rest for as long as he wants, he deserves it.

I stand with you on the point that nobody really knows how many BTCs Satoshi may have for real: and it's better to stay that way.

After all, if the man or people behind BTC are known to the public, or found out, it would be more of a hassle for them than a blessing to be known. It's better to stay that way.

FWIW, those address/wallet are assumed to be owned by Satoshi. Anyway, i expect we'll see some speculation wrapped as hot news whether the nature of the speculation is positive or negative.
