Topic: Mike Hearn still holding Bitcoin. - page 2. (Read 1478 times)

Why should we care about Mike Hearn having or not having Bitcoins?
I understand that those transactions between Satoshi Nakamoto and Mike Hearn must be very important in
the Bitcoin history,but why should we argue about this?
I`m curious about the bitcoin value back in April 2009.Some forum member here said that bitcoin was free back then.Too sad that i haven`t had a PC and didn`t knew anything about BTC.

Do you think Satoshi would have mined all the coins in one wallet or 1 block per wallet? Having more than 1 wallet would be sensible in terms of spreading risks.

Mike said he had sold all his coins. If these emails are legit they show he wasn't telling the truth about that. It was Mike who "got it wrong", not "The FUDers".


Presumably he asked his wallet to send 50 BTC and the wallet's coin selection algorithm picked which utxo to spend. "Coin control" wasn't a thing back then.

Whilst reading the emails, assuming they are not fakes, I'd spotted this?

"I will no longer be taking part in Bitcoin development and have sold all my coins."

Terrible article since Mike still has at least 100 BTC.

All the usual FUDers attacking Mike in the past got it wrong.

Curiously why did Satoshi Nakamoto sent 50 BTC on 18th April (mined 23-2-2009 10:05:15) to Mike Hearn. 1AfRNhdvL5zYL1FTxM9mHyYnHuHK4TpLYh. Think about it, Satoshi Nakamoto could have used an earlier block from January when he was mining almost alone. Satoshi Nakamoto picked the address from 23rd February 2009 which was almost mined 2 months prior. Did Satoshi Nakamoto not mine any blocks after 23rd February or did he just randomly pick that address?
