Nothing indicated that he combined at least some of those coins together. So he either hold large amount of wallets or he hold a special wallet that contains thousands of addresses, both are very strange scenario


why strange?  my understanding is the idea was to never reuse addresses.  so his wallet would have a separate address for every 50 btc mined.  also there's a site i saw before that tracked the early coins that never moved.

He has said that you should only use each address one time and to use a new change address each time you spend bitcoin. This would imply that he would never be able to combine his addresses together as doing do would violate that rule.

Yes, impossible to say how many bitcoins Satoshi really mined, or spent. If the addresses are not reused of course

No, but if you look at the header, you can see that it was likely an address that was mined by satoshi as the headers of blocks that he mined has somewhat of a unique 'footprint'

I don't think it is beneficial for people to be obsessing over satoshi like this, as it creates a colt like religion.

If it were up to me, satoshi would sell all his coins on an exchange. It would make the price crash over the short term, but over the long term it would benefit Bitcoin as it would take a lot of uncertainty away and would prevent a lot of what the OP is doing

He has all the Bitcoin he needs anyway. What's the point of looking for a cold trail.
