Satoshi Nakamoto has 980K BTC at the highest peak the bitcoin price had, his wealth was nearly 1.1 billion $$$$ First ever, and probably the only bitcoin billionaire that we have seen.

That's not a bitcoin billionaire. That's a USD billionaire. To be a bitcoin billionaire you'd have to have a billion bitcoins. Try not to be so U.S. centric in your views of an international currency.

When people refer to bitcoin million/billionaires they're obviously referring to the fiat value they hold in bitcoins. Apart from Satoshi, there's probably going to be zero people who will ever actually own over or near 1 million bitcoins.

How can I tell if the person asking is from the U.S. or the European Union, or from England, or from Japan, or somewhere else?

I have to agree there. Most people assume it's USD when somebody talks about billions, or when they use the dollar sign. However, they could be heavily talking about others.

If the OP had used the dollar sign, or used the acronym USD, then we could assume that we are talking about a billion U.S. dollars worth of bitcoins. What they asked about was bitcoin billionaires. If I asked about a Euro billionaire, or a GBP billionaire, would you assume I was talking about a billion USD worth of euro or GBP?

This list might be coming in months/years as Forbes is very positive about the Bitcoin (they accept it as a payment method and even have a reporter in SF living exclusively on Bitcoin for last one year)
They will likely report it when one person is a billionaire due to their investment in bitcoin even if they would not otherwise make the list of being one of the word's most rich people. There are simply too many millionaires to make it worth reporting when someone makes a million dollars.
