Is it the fear of big crash that has stopped Satoshi from selling his bitcoins ?

Satoshi owns lot of bitcoin created in early days. But he has not sold any even in current prices.

Is it the fear of big crash that has stopped Satoshi from selling his bitcoins ?

Satoshi would've caused a big price crash, if he sold a massive amount of his BTC back in the day, but the Bitcoin price would've recovered in the long run. This makes the whole idea of Satoshi being "too afraid to sell" kinda stupid.
Nobody ever stopped Satoshi from selling small parts of his Bitcoins. I do believe that Satoshi selling a little bit of his BTC wouldn't lead to a major BTC price crash. I also have come to the conclusion that Satoshi is either dead or he simply doesn't have access to his wallet. Maybe he deliberately forgot his password and seed phrase. Nobody knows the truth and we are all just speculating.

Yeah because he is the creator and provably people would think about that he's totally abandoning Bitcoin if he initiate that dumps.

But I don't really think that this situation will happen. Since at first place if he plans to rug pull his supporters or those who invest on Bitcoin for sure that he already do this before.

But now since we able to see Bitcoin succeed and no other suspicious or other bothering movement from his side so that means he don't want to sell his Bitcoin and thriving to made his creation as best or even useful currency in the world.

Yes, I strongly agree with you on the point you just gave above that the fear to not see Bitcoin crash is actually the reason why Satoshi has not sold a penny right from 2009 when those coins were deposited into his Bitcoin wallet. While secondly, for the purpose of history is another reason why Satoshi Nakamoto have decided not to touch his 1million Bitcoin, so as to give people a reason why to believe in Bitcoin. Making people believe if Satoshi Nakamoto could hold his coin for such a long while, they too can hold their coin too. Because I have seen many scenarios whereby a whale Bitcoin transaction that is not even up to 1% (i.e 10,000 BTC) of what Satoshi Nakamoto holds in his wallet was made and it greatly affected the price of Bitcoin negatively to drop by 20% to 30%. So imagine if Satoshi sells all his 1million Bitcoin today, it will drastically affect the price of Bitcoin to fall to around $30,000 or below.

I don’t think satoshi cares about the price of bitcoin, probably he never did. He was interested more in the technology. He spent his time to make bitcoin better, not more expensive. His coins haven’t been moved that’s true but we also haven’t seen or heard from him for years. His current forum account is also locked by the admin and unless satoshi signs a message from one of his addresses, we will never be able to hear from him again. He very well might be dead too. Most people don’t think much about that but it is possible since there is a good possibility of him being Hal Finney. Either way, I am glad he is not selling any of his coins because if he did, that would harm bitcoin’s reputation. People would think: “If the founder is selling, why would I keep holding?” It would trigger a bloodbath.

We can't rule it out as a valid reason, besides as a dev what message would he be sending if he was selling his known stash... the premined coins and all that.. come on the man isn't  touching those coins for sure because markets could be sent in a negative frenzy.. but am sure he thought of this from the beginning and could have bought other coins to keep his pseudo identity and real identity apart.

I don't think its a smart choice selling his bitcoins now especially that bitcoin price is not yet on its peak. He knows his invention and his investment well so definitely, selling shouldn't be the best option, but just plain hodling until he gets satisfied with the price of bitcoin, maybe by then we could notice that he is starting to sell some of his bitcoin assets.

Its hard to assume that he is fearing the big crash, because if there's one here who is the bravest about bitcoin crash and price decline, it would be no other than Satoshi because he started bitcoin.

Nobody knows for sure... he could be gone, he could be uninterested in it, he could be completely disinterested in Bitcoin, or any number of other possibilities. So, the most we can do is speculate on the various possibilities as to why  he didn't touch his Bitcoin, and whatever that is, I hope that it stays like that forever.

We will keep speculating because nobody knows what has happened to him. Some people said he might have lost access to the wallet. My best bet is that he might have died or decided to donate the coin to the ecosystem.

If he is alive, I don't think his reason for not selling is because of the fear that the price will crash. The market will still be recovering as Satoshi dumps his coins.

Our speculations about Satoshi Nakamoto are endless. And because this speculation is endless, we cannot imagine his existence, which is why our speculations will be based on whatever he says. As you say, he may have died or donated all his coins to the ecosystem, but I think he is not dead and did not donate his coins to the ecosystem. Maybe he is alive and seeing everything but he is not coming out in public. But the only question in my mind is, if he is alive, why is he not coming out in public despite his great contribution?

You can ask yourself OP. Why are you not selling your coins if ever you have been hodling a good amount? I don't think you're afraid for a big crash, but I do believe you chose to hold longer because you still want to earn more bitcoin and you want massive profits in the long run, so therefore selling right now is not the best option.

Just like Satoshi, he also want the best for him and the best for his bitcoin investment.

Satoshi knows the high potentials of bitcoin, the longer he will hold them, the bigger amount of returns. And besides, if he does not need emergency funds right now, why do he have to sell.  It's not the fear of big crash why he is still hodling bitcoins, but maybe he will only spend them when bitcoin becomes globally adopted, and that could probably take long years of processing, so it only means we should expect that he won't be selling his bitcoins until then.

Satoshi is brilliant more than anyone else, and trust me he knows well what he's doing, that is if he's still alive at the moment.
