I was wondering about Satoshi's wallet. If those coins move at all in the next few years, watch for a major price fall. Those coins at this point are almost never allowed to move without making Bitcoin value very very risky.
However, that abundance of coin perhaps amplifies Bitcoin staying power. If it were a scam of a technology I could imagine we would have already seen those coins move to an exchange.
Perhaps it was the 100,000 coins mined after that wallet was done that made the initial creators, miners, adopters, rich and are now out with the rest of us holding the bag..
When it comes down to it, there is simply low interest right now for anyone to buy bitcoins. That is not to say there are not buyers...
Just that when people want to buy a car, groceries, clothes, vacations, airline tickets, their go to currency, is not Bitcoin
if satoshi put up a 1 million bitcoin sell wall it wouldn't necessarily drop the price. it would cause the price to stagnate, like what's happening right now. as in, the price won't move at all while people continue buying from his stash.
