This is Satoshi's 50 btc from the genesis block, dated January 3rd, 2009. First Bitcoins generated: https://blockchain.info/address/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa?offset=900&filter=0

Lots of people added small amounts to it over the years.

Interesting, the genesis block reward is unspendable. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/decoding-block-index-0-119530

That would be realy interesting to know what satoshi is thinking by keeping these coins, or what really is the truth about those coins.

Well, he was the only miner back in the day, keeping the network alive, and one of few later on.

He was not the only miner. A few other people were mining bitcoin even in the very first few days.

That doesnt add up.

I see the years of the amount of bitcoin, and it only adds up to 50 btc. So he just stopped after he hit 50 btc? lol.

I`m sure he has way more then that, and this address is just a early miner adapter.

I remember hearing that each block reward was sent to a different mining address. He didn't send all the coins to one address or something like that... Smiley

Yup, all his block rewards were unspent except for block 9. Smiley

That would be realy interesting to know what satoshi is thinking by keeping these coins, or what really is the truth about those coins.

Well, he was the only miner back in the day, keeping the network alive, and one of few later on. He said at one point that "lost coins" are sort of a gift to the rest of BTC holders (decreasing the supply). I think he intends for these coins to remain lost.

Considering he was the only miner early on, it wouldn't be difficult to ascertain the addresses of his earliest mined coins. Just follow the blockchain. Smiley

I dont get it, we know one address with 50 Bitcoins, so where are other 999950 Bitcoins? Is his coins magically scattered through milion of diffirent addresses?

Satoshi's motivations were not to get rich of bitcoin (but perhaps he and others will get very rich in the future. ).  Another bitcoin developer, Garzik, has recently revealed a balance of around 300 bitcoin (if I'm not mistaken). Motivations differ per people.

There is actually not a lot to see.  Cry

It's a bigger mystery than the Lochness monster, why someone or a group, would leave BTC like that.

But I bet, once someone touch those coins, it will be HUGE news.  Grin

You can find a long list of blocks highly possibly mined by Satoshi here. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/chain-archaeology-answers-from-the-early-blockchain-507458
However, Satoshi hasn't touched most of his bitcoin, except for the block reward for block #9. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/satoshi-only-spent-50-btc-heres-where-those-coins-are-now-548508
