Can Satoshi become the richest person on earth in future ?

[Smack That Ace]

Is it possible that Satoshi could become the richest person on the earth in future because of huge bitcoin holdings ? Or is the gap already too much ?

Why not, of course if Satoshi keeps a minimum of 1000 BTC, you can imagine the wealth that he has today, maybe Satoshi is the number one richest person in the world, there is no need to come now, Satoshi has become the richest person.

Unfortunately Satoshi never appeared again after he created Bitcoin, whether Satoshi individuals or secret organizations, in essence he is currently rich if he really keeps Bitcoin.

According to Arkham, Satoshi's current wealth is $124 billion, and while Elon's net worth is worth $500 billion, Larry Ellison's 250 billion or Jeff Bezos's is $200 billion. Therefore, he is only in the top 100 richest people, not the richest person in the world. Or more accurately, he is the richest person in the crypto industry.

Even though he hasn't appeared in many years, but we also have no evidence that Satoshi is dead or will never appear in the future. Everything can happen.

^ We won't know for sure if it's true or not.

But if the keys are truly gone - then the trust in said "Satoshis" BTCs is engrained forever, which would be nice, nicer than seeing them one day being moved somewhere.

Oh some of them have been moved that's for sure https://www.blockonomics.co/#/search?q=12higDjoCCNXSA95xZMWUdPvXNmkAduhWv just one address I have out of 35,000+ only a handful have moved coins.  

Here are a few from initial release date to end of Jan '09, I have over 35,000 after analysis.

Elon is half way to being the first trillionaire globally. It's possible that satoshi could be the richest person if the price of Bitcoin keeps on going up.

Elon's wealth are all in papers of stocks. But with satoshi's holdings, he's got that outright wealth. What we're wishing is to see that the price of Bitcoin reaches all time highs after all time highs.

If the time comes that satoshi becomes the richest person on Earth, I hope that he's kept that forever and those dormant bitcoins won't move.

[Cookdata]

BTCitcoin created for economic freedom and for create economic power, It is not created for become rich!
So actually govt currency are going down day by day so we are notice BTC price are going high and we become rich.

Actually bitcoin still that position which was in 2009 but govt money going to down more day by day and BTC present it to us with its intelligence code and algorithm.

About rich, you lie!
Satoshi may never envision what Bitcoin has done today but Bitcoin has created wealth and has changed many people's side of history, there is no body on the surface of earth that has bought Bitcoin in the last 8 years holding  and has remained poor. The institutional investors that are here buying Bitcoin are not here to romance anyone, they are solely here to make money through strategies, maybe the concept and protocol make it's unique but deep down, it's money that connect everyone here from users that use the network down to miners that confirm the transaction, they get incentives.

There is much changes, the things that happen in 2009 are different from what is happening today and that is what we expect, we have to grow, improve, and develop as it should be. People that are worried about Satoshi wallet doesn't even have nothing on their wallet, they don't have 1 single Bitcoin but they worried much. What will institutional investors that have invested billions do, maybe they will die the day Satoshi wallet wakes up.

[Muba20]

If Satoshi owns 1 million Bitcoins, then if the price of Bitcoin is 300k, then Satoshi can become the richest person in the world. Currently, if Elon Musk is considered the richest, his current wealth is about 250 billion dollars. Elon Musk's wealth may increase slightly in the next 2-3 years, but it is not possible to reach the same level as Bitcoin holders. Moreover, the price of Bitcoin is also likely to exceed 300k in the next 2 or 3 years. It is certainly not difficult to guess that Satoshi Nakamoto is reaching the ranks of the richest people in the world.

[Dunamisx]

Let's start from where we are currently, we can see Satoshi being among the top richest in the world, because he has much holding and also, bitcoin has been found rising in value over time, unlike the way other richest men had their assets and not being profitable the way bitcoin is with measure of time.

[Miles2006]

I was reading a thread here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5561340.0

and it came to my mind that bitcoin value is increasing at very rapid rate. Is it possible that Satoshi could become the richest person on the earth in future because of huge bitcoin holdings ? Or is the gap already too much ?

Satoshi is not among the top richest so it shows the competition is not an easy one, holding such amount in bitcoin already makes satoshi wealthy but, not to the extend  becoming the richest. For a fact bitcoin price is not stable and giving records like this need a stable data update not a fluctuating price, if bitcoin price ever get to that point whereby the value surpasses Elon musk net worth definitely Satoshi might top the chat yet the prediction is not certain obviously we don’t expect Elon Musk to wait for bitcoin value.

[adaseb]

He can actually become the richest person fairly easy, all it will take is the stock market to crash, doesn't even need to crash like the 2008 levels but if the AI bubble finally bursts. All those billionaires market worth will vanish pretty quickly.

Every few months we get a new richest billionaire and its mostly due to the amount of stock they own. Look at Elon Musk or the Oracle CEO. Everything is inflated right now and so are their net worths. If there is a big crash, they net worth will come down with them. Alot of their gains are hanging on a thin thread so to speak. And this is how Satoshi can come out on top. However nobody knows when this will happen. Could be weeks, could be months or could be years like the 2008 crash.

But you forget that bitcoin is also very volatile and is heavily influenced and dependent on the US financial market. That means if the AI ​​bubble bursts, billionaires will lose hundreds of billions of dollars and the stock market will lose trillions of dollars, or even crash or worse, lead to a global recession. I don't think bitcoin is immune and won't get dumped like previous bear cycles.

That means Satoshi's net worth would also drop and he would even fall out of the top 100 richest people if bitcoin lost 80% of its price like in previous bear cycles.

Are you assuming that Satoshi Nakamoto is still alive? What if he's dead? How can a dead person become the richest man on earth?
He never touched the BTC in his wallet, which seems weird. If I was a multi-billionaire having around 1 million BTC in my wallet, I would be tempted to sell a little bit of those BTC to buy a new mansion or a new Ferrari. Satoshi being actually alive and giving up on all this fortune would make him the coolest person on Earth.
Who cares about this "richest person in the world" ranking? I don't care if Elon Musk, Bezos, Satoshi or someone else is sitting at the Number 1 spot. This won't bring any change to my life at all.

It's Bitcoin price that is going to determine how Bitcoin is going to grow, we have to let it determine but come to think of it, what are we even connern about Satoshi wealth when he doesn't even exist. Satoshi wallet is a sign that wealth can be created with Bitcoin, he doesn't plan to spend the Bitcoin.

I think you missed the news as well as not following the previous comments, as some other members pointed out that Elon's fortune has exceeded $500 billion.


Also, one more thing you need to know is that Elon's net worth was just $2 billion in 2012 and in just 13 years it has increased 250 times. With such rapid growth, even if bitcoin hits $500k in the next 10 years. I also don't think that would make Satoshi the richest man in the world.


The price of bitcoin is very volatile, it could drop 50% next year or the year after. That means Satoshi's fortune is also unstable, making it difficult to include him in the list of top billionaires.

Elon Musk, the richest man right now, has around $230–250 billion net worth. so if Satoshi is really holding about 1 million BTC, Bitcoin only needs to hit around $300k for him to take that top spot.

at the current range, it might look far, but honestly it’s not impossible. once Bitcoin reaches that level, Satoshi will automatically become the richest person on earth, even without showing his face.

If it is true that satoshi owns around a million bitcoin then all
It would take is for BTC to hit about $300k for him to surpass Elon musk and become the richest person on the planet sounds crazy but it is really not impossible when you think about how far Bitcoin has come from being worth less than a dollar to tens of thousands today.

However the interesting part is he would not ever need to make a public appearance or show his face to make that top spot his fortune would exist purely in digital form quietly sitting on the block chain it is wild to think that someone who disappeared over a decade ago could still end up being the richest person alive all because of an idea he created.

It's Bitcoin price that is going to determine how Bitcoin is going to grow, we have to let it determine but come to think of it, what are we even connern about Satoshi wealth when he doesn't even exist. Satoshi wallet is a sign that wealth can be created with Bitcoin, he doesn't plan to spend the Bitcoin.

Satoshi does exist, we just don't know who it is, - a man, a group of people, and so on.

And, yeah, his BTCs on his wallets wouldn't be spent - yet he can have as many wallets with it besides that, and we wouldn't even know.

So it's a good time speculating on it

He can actually become the richest person fairly easy, all it will take is the stock market to crash, doesn't even need to crash like the 2008 levels but if the AI bubble finally bursts. All those billionaires market worth will vanish pretty quickly.

Every few months we get a new richest billionaire and its mostly due to the amount of stock they own. Look at Elon Musk or the Oracle CEO. Everything is inflated right now and so are their net worths. If there is a big crash, they net worth will come down with them. Alot of their gains are hanging on a thin thread so to speak. And this is how Satoshi can come out on top. However nobody knows when this will happen. Could be weeks, could be months or could be years like the 2008 crash.

But you forget that bitcoin is also very volatile and is heavily influenced and dependent on the US financial market. That means if the AI ​​bubble bursts, billionaires will lose hundreds of billions of dollars and the stock market will lose trillions of dollars, or even crash or worse, lead to a global recession. I don't think bitcoin is immune and won't get dumped like previous bear cycles.

That means Satoshi's net worth would also drop and he would even fall out of the top 100 richest people if bitcoin lost 80% of its price like in previous bear cycles.

Yeah, because many people think that Satoshi Nakamoto will suddenly become the richest person in the world one day but in reality it is not that simple. A stock market crash can reduce the value of the assets of big billionaires but at the same time Bitcoin is not completely immune to that effect. Whenever there has been a big fall in the US market, the crypto market has also taken a hit. The Covid crash of March 2020 is an example of this. At that time, Bitcoin also fell by about 50 percent along with the stock market.

^ We won't know for sure if it's true or not.

But if the keys are truly gone - then the trust in said "Satoshis" BTCs is engrained forever, which would be nice, nicer than seeing them one day being moved somewhere.

For him to be seen as the richest in the world, he needs to prove that he still holds the key to those wallet, and by proving that, he will no longer be anonymous, which is what he didn't want for his safety and security, and am positive that Satoshi will not make himself known because he just want to prove himself as the richest man in the world, or Is their any extra benefits attached to that title as the richest man in the world?
He wouldn't even comes out to prove anything if Bitcoin gets to a million dollar or more because he is way more smarter than that, for making himself known just because of the title.

I think that would be not in his interest to do that, truly.

He already sees his creation swinging and becoming more relevant and used - what else he could of asked for?

[Mpamaegbu]

He might even be lucky enough to become the richest man in the world if the price of Bitcoin ever reached $500,000, but they would never spend it, so he wouldn't even be taken seriously on the list of the richest in the world, because it's not known whether he has control of his fortune or not, whether he's alive or not. I personally think he's dead, unfortunately. For me, that's the only explanation for his disappearance; it doesn't make sense that he's still hiding.

I concur with all you said there. In addition, and in deep truth, there's no way someone who tried to squeeze world governments and strangulate their economies wouldn't be found and dealt with. In most cases, assassinated. That's, if Satoshi is a single individual. To me, the story of Satoshi going under the radar and completely being anonymous is just a myth. There's nobody governments of this world decide to find, they can't find with all tech and surveillance at their disposal. It's being 15 years now.

^ Maybe you are right too, but that's the conspiracy theories territory, and I wouldn't go there without real proofs (which we won't get in our day and age, probably)

Satoshi was rich when Bitcoin rose from $1 to a high price because he didn't have to do anything and just sat back with his coffee. He doesn't pay any expenses from his Bitcoin while other rich people like Elon still pay taxes. Satoshi only pay the tax on his salary and keeps his Bitcoin there in his wallet.

When Bitcoin soar to the very highest price, Satoshi will become the richest person in the world. But his wealth is in BTC and not fiat and when the world is ready to use Bitcoin as a means of payment, Satoshi will become the richest one among the other richest people.
