That right if he wants them he can move them to prevent their destruction.It is better to destroy them than those coins falling in wrong hands.Since these coins are not in circulation,their disappearance would not make any difference
They are not in circulation, they are in storage.
You wants Satoshi to moving them or loose them?
it seems you don't quite understand what theymos are proposing. he's talking about destroying all old coins that doesn't get moved after 5 years. if satoshi and other bitcoin owners move their coins before that time, their bitcoins won't be destroyed.
of course there are pros and cons of this. if satoshi move those coins, then those old coins will not be considered lost anymore. on the other hand, we'll know for sure that those coins won't be a problem if they get destroyed.
Yes. It becomes a problem of would you rather give some people 1 million free bitcoin with little to no effort or have one guy lose the Bitcoin he hasn't touched (nor does he indicate that he will ever touch them) in over 15 years (by that point).
This is like Paypal coming out and saying 'If you don't move your funds around we will just take them from you. If this is what Bitcoin is coming to be a part of then Bitcoin has lost its vision and only caters to those who are afraid of someone dumping them.
If you are so insecure about Bitcoin that you fear coins being dumped then it might be time for you to move to a different currency or come to the terms that it is a possibility and move on.
The difference between this and PayPal is that PayPal will just take the funds and pocket them. Theymos' proposal makes it impossible for anyone to use those funds.
Also, as a side note, Theymos' proposal is pretty much impossible. It relies upon knowing that something will happen in the future at an exact moment, and this cannot be known both because such technology doesn't suddenly become cheap and usable like so overnight, and because such advancements cannot be known to happen on a certain date beforehand.
