Do you think Satoshi will ever spend his bitcoins?

[e1ghtSpace]

So, do you think Satoshi will ever spend his bitcoins?
You can only answer with Yes or No on the poll. Got it?

This is going to be very interesting to see the results.
The reason there isn't a "maybe" is so that we can get a definite answer.

i don't really know. i just hope satoshi isn't a greedy guy and doesn't care about the money.. and decided to see what his donating money for certain causes would or could change the world.

He has already started to shape the future of the financial world

[BtcGains]

It will cause a lot of controversy that's for sure. He's already in hiding since it's so big...
By selling his coins he basically throws away all of the credit for his work as it simply says that he would rather a fiat currency.
Do you mean exchange or spend as in send his bitcoins to other addresses

[AliceWonder]

I don't think he is going to use them. The system is not anonymous enough and he has too many to use a mixer effectively.

Maybe if Tor wasn't under suspicion of being compromised he could use his coins to run an anonymous mixer (coins come in, get mixed around with his) providing him with some anonymity but that also would draw legal attention for laundering.

I think it will be his next of kin that ultimately benefit.

He's got unlimited funding basically for new projects... I think he's thinking up new ideas for his money rather than planning on reaping the rewards.
Satoshi is a creator, he dreamed up bitcoin and went ahead and created it. It's only a matter of time before he releases something new whether it be a success or failure. Who knows maybe he's already behind big projects but under new alias'

No

[LiteCoinGuy]

i think he will never do this because he would hurt his own invention. maybe he destroyed the keys of the early mined btc.

Are you agreeing with him or what?

Edit: I was just highlighting the fact that there wasn't a maybe.
Edit 2: Fine, I'll change it.

Satoshi cashing out some Bitcoins!!!

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2bu43g/who_mined_the_bitcoin_blocks_in_the_first_three/
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=712502.0

The only people I know for sure mining a significant number of bitcoins blocks in the first three weeks were Satoshi and Hal Finney. Is it common knowledge by now that we know who the first early miners were?
I ask because someone who mined blocks between January 29 and February 7, 2009 has been cashing them out over the past nine months. I'm curious how large the list of likely suspects is.
** EDIT ** I have an article pending on 'Let's Talk Bitcoin' which includes all of the raw data. However, here is just one example of what I'm referring to.

Mined January 30, 2009 then February 4, 2009, then February 6, 2009, then February 7, 2009.
For those who do not know, the very first bitcoin block ever was mined on January 3, 2009

The second one wasn't mined until 6 days later on January 9, 2009:

So, any blocks from January 30th are absurdly early in this history of the blockchain and only a handful of people could be responsible for this!
These begin with block #2400!!
All spent/transferred within minutes on February 6, 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And these aren't the only very, very, very, early bitcoin blocks which have been redeemed. There have been a series of them, which is included in the data when the article gets published.


So now we know that the million Bitcoin is not lost and the guy still have control of the wallet, the next thing we need to know is if he will be selling some of that million and how, when and to where otherwise to whom (we might know who is satoshi at the end). 

i guess he saw the end of bitcoin bubble is very close now, last chance to sell better than nothing

[InwardContour]

In my opinion, if Satoshi is still alive, he will wait to spend bitcoins untill the adoption will be complete,
there's no reason to spend them if they are increasing in value every year with this ratio.

[Baitty]

I would expect a lot of people to panic if those coins were moved what do you think? I think it shows that he's moving them for a purpose and then there will be a lot of speculation that he was planning this all a long so he could profit from Bitcoin.

[joshraban76]

I think at some point those coins will move. I can't see sitting on that much potential wealth and never moving it. I think if and when they do move it would cause a bit of a panic. If they never move then the owner is a better man then I.

[zhinkk]

At some point, those coins will be spent/moved. But I don't think that will be for a long long time.

I think it would be incredible if they never move it really shows that satoshi actually cared about the project and removes the possibility of people calling it out as a scam for the creator to earn a quick buck.

Back in the old days, those coins are pretty worthless and most people probably don't even care if they lose it all. The owners of most of the top wallets with no activity probably already lose the private key.

Well, this is really very interesting info, thank you for sharing.
I hope that this is not sight that Satoshi think that now is time to sell Bitcoin and maybe create something new.
If this info is 100 % correct than answer to the topic question is yes.

it's not like he has to mix them all. he can just cash out a million or two. but i don't know if it's going to happen either way. safest way to go about is maybe donate the coins to a charitable organization.. he can't be caught doing that.
