Beyond Imagination
Suppose that each wallet holds 100 addresses, each address holds 50 coins, one million coin will give satoshi 200 wallets to backup, not an easy task

Those coins can be used as a cooling tools when bitcoin become a black hole and trying to absorb all the wealth in the world into it

Sigh... why delete a wallet instead of moving it aside and keeping the old copy just in case?  You should never delete a wallet.

For sure he has a backup. Somewhere...

I've always thought to myself that it doesn't seem right for him to destroy his wallets or lose access to them. It would be like losing or killing your own baby, though I suppose he could have deleted them because of the power it could bring and maybe he feared becoming corrupted by wealth. Hopefully he's just bitcoin's biggest holder and is waiting for them to go worldwide before he starts to use them hehe.

I love the faith that people have in Bitcoin that if its creator dares spend any of his coins, or even move them, then they expect that the rest of the Bitcoin community will panic and exit Bitcoin. Makes a lot of sense..

I'd think the better reaction would be to rejoice that he's alive and be happy he's finally taking advantage of his invention.
it is the other way around: if he would use an old address with millions of coins, BTC would take a massive hit.  i guess all early mined coins are lost. he did not sell at 1200 USD, so he will never sell/move those coins and that is good for the whole system!

I'm curious why there are so many Satoshi worship threads. If there were a sub-forum devoted to Satoshi, how much activity would it see?

I quite like Satoshi myself, he was truly a visionary, and the cult around him is much healthier than many things mainstream push.

Same here I also like Satoshi if wasn't for him crypto would not be around today then again their was coins before bitcoin I heard of but no doubt BTC lead the way forward for the stepping stone and leader of cryptos. No doubt satoshi is a guest reading among the web somewhere and no doubt has made otehr cryptos or works along side them. Who knows only satoshi knows this and no doubt would well be among everyone and we just don't know it or do we with some of the real strong alts that are popping up or around today. Would be nice if he come back and make some big updates to Bitcoin.

Probably, but if he died without telling anyone about it, then they may have been deleted or destroyed by whomever gained control of his things.

Can I ask you why are you saying that 'satoshi' is/are died? When we are talking always about it, you always said that he/they  is/are died.

Because satoshi is satoshi and people is only curious about him or their.

Crypto Swap Exchange
Wow,this is a surprise to me...
I have always thought that satoshi may have deleted some of his wallet, because he may think that having so many bitcoins may be dangerous for the own bitcoin
If he wants to benefit Bitcoin, wouldn't he be giving away all those Bitcoins? IMO, it would be pretty dumb to intentionally delete a wallet. If you want to decrease the Bitcoin in circulation, just keep the private key and not spend your Bitcoins.

it could also be that his backup is screwed too, witouth necessarily being deleted

btw the only reason for not deleting a wallet tha you know could not receive any transaction, would be hoping in a chance of collision

Of course there is always the possibility that his wallets were corrupted but  I think he'd have the brains to have several back ups and maybe even write the private keys down somewhere. At least I hope he did.
