Everybody knows Satoshi (pre)mined millions btc but it's his business, he invented something like Bill Gates with Microsoft, Steve Jobs with Apple or Mark Zuckerberg with Facebook.

Still false even though I liked how you try to spin it as good thing.

May Bitcoin be touched by his Noodly Appendage

And perhaps consider not buying hypocrite coins either.

What am I talking about?

Well, I have read lots of slander going on, on these forums about premined coins,
but the people who are slandering the 'premined' coins also support and buy and sell bitcoins.

Bitcoins are a premine.

Therefore anyone who buys and sells and supports bitcoins, and goes around slandering coins with premine, is a hypocrite.

And I want you to consider not buying hypocrite coins then ok.

Good day.

First, Bitcoin was not premined. The only block that was mined before release was the genesis block, and those coins are unspendable. Just because there wasn't a million profit chasers with GPU farms ready to jump on it doesn't mean it was premined.

Just to let you guys know what an idiot the OP is, you should know he posted a Bitcoin mainnet address on a testnet giveaway. I know this because those are the only people in my ignore list.

OP is indeed a pretty stupid person. Check his posts.

Satoshi is now multi-Millionaire and I pretty sure that he doesn't care about bitcoin anymore...

Satoshi pre-mined a million coins before he/she released Bitcoin and the people who go after pre-mined coins completely ignore that fact.

I would say the fact gets ignored because it is false.

What the hell is going on here?
Can I play too?

I have proofs that Satoshi premined 5 millions of BTC
Some even say he premined 10.4 millions but they don't have proofs

This is true of course.

Also don't forget, OP being shot down in flames, I can't imagine he has much to say.

Good day.

If you write a new code from scratch, feel free to premine it

and hope it turns into a bitcoin, or your premine is worth nothing.

he only mined 500,000 prior to launch.

The above is a fan fiction. It should not be confused with reality.

then how much did he really premine, if any?

0. The genesis block has the quote proving the date and the dates of public code release and blockchain timestamps support that. In the first year Bitcoin wasn't very popular. More people "could" have mined it most simply didn't. Satoshi got a lot of flak about his system being unworkable in the early days. Many who knew likely didn't mine because it seemed stupid. BTW Hal Finney IIRC reports mining one of the very early blocks (like #200?).

Say I launch an alt-coin today. Full source code, compiled binaries, no premine (even genesis block unspendable), high starting difficulty so early blocks take LONGER (about 20-30 minutes per block due to low hashing power). Now say most people ignore it because they think the idea is stupid and can't work. Now if it became popular a year later would you accuse me of "premining" the coin?

The claims of a pre-mine are never supported. They are just slander to provide moral equivalence for those that do.

This.

Bitcoin wasnt premined. The blockchain is public.

Terminated.

Since all of these copycoin creators deserve to earn money for their "hard" work.. Satoshi invented something new, that's why he deserves it, premined or not. Cool

by the time bitcoin was adopted, satoshi had solomined well over 5 million coins, though initially he only mined 500,000 prior to launch. for whatever reason, he was mocked and laughed at and by the time it was adopted, he was a bitmillionaire. times have changed though. you can premine, but keep it reasonable
