But Satoshi was just a boy and he didn't take the key with him.
The key, huh?
Bitcoiners better hope that "key" isn't lost. That would make Satoshi's stash value-less, wouldn't it?
If the key is lost and Satoshi's million-BTC stash becomes value-less, Bitcoiners will be more than happy.
In Satoshi's own words, it makes everyone else's Bitcoins more valuable. Think of it as a donation to everyone else.
It also rules out the possibility of Satoshi disrupting the market with his holdings in future.
