A coma could also be recovered from prison, taking care of a loved one, figuring out your own secrets to your keys, etc. The point is less about the why you have been lost from the scene for over a decade but what would you do next?

This is obviously a take on the "If you won the lottery, what would you do?" For most people, the real answer in either case is to be harassed by family, friends, and neighbors for the rest of your life once they find out.

The amount of money obviously presents a tremendous amount of wealth. You, at this point, may not be wealthier than the wealthiest billionaires.. yet.
But you would be wealthy enough that you could potentially do a lot of good.

Perhaps, if you haven't already, you would relax, maybe enjoy a nice life and helping your own family and communities. You could start charities. Science, education, businesses. Not just where you live, nor in a place that could really use it. Every action has unintended consequences, donating to charities that might feed nations sometimes prop up warlords, so you have to figure out how best to use your proceeds. You could donate to projects, which is fine, and anonymously for projects that have bitcoin addresses associated with them. But that is enough wealth that that action isn't satisfactory.

You, Satoshin, were an idealogue. You were about changing the world, and you have. Good and bad has resulted from bitcoin, but in the end, we want much more good to result from it. And as soon as you use your fortune, all eyes will be on you. Nothing that you do might be good enough. The world is literally on your shoulders.

It's a lot of money, but it's also not when your goal is to improve the world, and having to worry about your own safety and comfort for the rest of your life.

But as an idealogue, you might still be tempted to try.

It wouldn't be the first time.
