Everybody can read this post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-proposed-solution-for-lost-bitcoins-5070171Lets change the time to delete old blocks with no transactions for the number of years we want to know the answer to that question, if real Satoshi was Hal Finney and he is really dead or if it is Craig Wright or someone else, he needs to move the money and we can assist.
Who rules the bitcoin blockchain, is Satoshi?
No, we rule it !
I guess that you mean that bitcoin chain is shit because Satoshi's coin is in no use because he is dead? Well, if he is... these coins are locked and they can increase the value of bitcoin as the circulating supply becomes less.
With or without Satoshi, the blockchain is decentralized and it is ruled by all people, not by just one.
Bitcoin will be shit if it cannot delete old blocks, all databases in the world can delete data, imagine to have emails without deleting data, would be the CAOS just to save all the information, every database (blockchain is just a database) needs to support deleting old data or else its a snowball.
If BTC be lost will increase the value, but imagine that in time we lost half of bitcoins and after so much time of stability one lucky guy recover access to one old address that is not moved at some decades and have thousands or millions of bitcoins, he will be the master of the world or even can start to sell untill colapse the market.
"With or without Satoshi, the blockchain is decentralized and it is ruled by all people, not by just one."
Do you think bitcoin is decentralized? There is 20 mining pools that rule the bitcoin, 20 mining pools are 20 boss in the world and some of them have the same boss!
99% of bitcoins are in the hands of 1% of the miners, you call this decentralized?
Your reasoning is absurd, its like saying "lets make bitcoin into paper notes,
lokk at FIAT it has paper notes, why cant bitcoin?"
Do you realise how difficult and improbable it is for "1 lucky guy" to recover
an old wallet belonging to someone else is? Take a guess and add as nany
"0's" as you like.
This thread was not created to "knowing if Satoshi is really dead" , It was
created so that someone could have coins belonging to someone
else, coins which were mined by someone else.
