Satoshi never reused any of his known addresses. Each time he solved a block, he used a different address.

Yep. I'm sure, smart as he is/was, some of the implications were not immediately clear. He started out mining to a single address but I believe later he started going with a new address for each block. Certainly it's quite likely he has more than enough play money so it may not be possible to read anything into those early coins not moving.

Wait, the world isn't flat? Please explain.

All the talk and of coins and their era, can we do the next poll as where do most of your coins come from

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There is no private key equal with zero, because that would be outside the secp256k1 range. If by “zero” address you mean the one that has its RIPEMD-160 zero (1111111111111111111114oLvT2), then it has the same chances of having 2⁹⁶ valid private keys. The fact that no one knows it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

I never said that word.

No, it's not the correct sense of the word. Read what you quoted:
Do you really consider this a valid argument? If none of you understood that the earth isn't flat, shouldn't I try to at least convince you that it's not?

There's more than 2000 BTC in the Counterparty address, more than $60m USD. It's never going to move.

The world would go into a full fledged hunt for him and he would never have a minute of peace because people are pieces of shit.

There are the "zero" addresses, formed from a private key with all zeroes. This is often seen in altcoins / shitcoins where they publicly burn coins.

There are also the vanity looking addresses such as 1BitcoinEater: https://blockchain.info/address/1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE

It's never sent any coins, always just received them. Very unlikely anyone has the private key to that address, or might even be possibly no such private key can map to it. We do not know for sure, as like you said, it can not be proven. However, it is my opinion that the chances of anyone ever able to spend from that particular address is close to zero. Maybe 0.000000001% or something. Yes, there is a chance.

As far as I am concerned, it's impossible. Your definition of the word impossible may differ from mine. Normal usage of the word is usually hyperbole, but the meaning and intent is clear. It is impossible. Won't stop you from trying, but I'm sure you or anyone else will fail.

This address is unspendable. And this time I mean it in the correct sense of the word. It's a hash from zeroes. You can see coins sent to it, but never spent.


Here is another address: 1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr

Feel free to try and find out the private key to that one, as no one knows it. It was generated without knowing the private key, just an address. My use of the word impossible for this one just means very highly improbable.

Yeah, but if none of us (ok I may well be exaggerating a wee bit) understand the significance, then did you really say anything?


 

I've recognized the Wall Observer before, but I didn't become mean. I just corrected his wording for the common good.

Not every peep in this thread recognizes and understands math an sciences, so each of you might need to 'splain ur lil selfies (referring to both of you, Dabs and BlackHatCoiner) a wee bit MOAR better, especially when you are devolving (or would it be evolving) into seemingly conclusory (and conclusive) math/science explanations.. as if showing a math formula were to serve as some kind of significant, meaningful and/or convincing proof of some kind of underlying truth to a vast majority of thread participant (can I say us?) normies...


Stop spreading nonsense... If satoshi wants to spend some or all of his bitcoin, he can do it.. bitcoin gives no shits, even if there might be a price dip or whatever.. bitcoin is not going to die based on a million coins becoming liquid, if that were the case and even if they are all put on the market at once.. no one cares, even if the price drops.. who cares.. consider what is probable and what is likely and even think about how much nonsense even exists speculating that one entity (satoshi supposedly) would even want to put a million coins on the market at once or even in large chunks.... bitcoin is beyond satoshi by now, even in the event that satoshi either still lives and/or still were to have abilities to move or spend the coins that he mined.

I really feel witty about these cases and how does these banks change their statements witnessing growing demand for bitcoin among their clients.


Buying btc is like owing 60 cars

And we probably have a thread for this one on the forum.But see how time flies from bitcoin is scam to we accept or offer btc services,bitcoin has came a long way.

Explanation

Satoshi probably knows that now that Bitcoin is established moving those coins or taking them out for whatever expenses he has could put Bitcoin in jeopardy. Think about it they have not been touched for a while and then suddenly they move people would panic sell. Satoshi's coins right now are acting as a gift to the rest of the Bitcoin network making our coins more valuable in the long run. 

There are no addresses with no private keys.

Better formulation:  It hasn't been proved that there's an address that has no private keys. On average, each one has 2⁹⁶ different keys.

Holy cow.. that could be something close to jonoiv... but not even jonoiv was so dumb as to proclaim that bitcoin is going to zero.. so Billy no coiner is surely a higher level diptwat than even jonoiv.

A reminder of jonoiv's most recent level of dumb.

Jonoiv sold all of his BTC (not that it was very much to even speak about.. which is another level of dumb) pretty damned much in the sub $6k territory in around May 2019, so his then investment thesis was that bitcoin would drop to $2k or some dumb shit like that.. gosh I feel stupid even reiterating his level of dumb.

So yeah, he was here in the thread cheering for down and cheering for down, and he was having such a hard time of even the price getting below $6k .. which surely there was some potential of getting close in late 2019 when BTC cropped again into the lower $7ks and upper $6ks, and sure we were not hearing too much from jonoiv by then.. and one would have thought that at some point he would have bought back in, even if at a loss... but then jonoiv got even more lucky with the March 2020 liquidity event, and he even chimed in on the thread to acknowledge that he had seen the BTC price drop to $3,850 but he was still waiting for sub $2k or some nonsense like that... so there is a kind of lack of conviction from some of these people in regards to the underlying asset (referring to bitcoin), and they cannot even recognize a gift of a buying opportunity when presented with such gift....

So even if any of us were trying to play the BIG swings, we might have luck once in a while, but seems that a lot of bitcoin naysayers (and those waiting for lower prices) get locked out forever when the wait for prices that either do not happen or they are not ready to buy when they have a short-lived opportunity... hopefully, on a personal level, those kinds of dweebs are not as dumb as their words, and sure they might at least be buying BTC while they are paid to say such nonsense.. that not even the most retarded of retards should be taken seriously (in terms of considering how to consider bitcoin as an investment or various investment strategies to employ such as dollar cost averaging or other reasonable/prudent bitcoin investment strategies), especially after studying the bitcoin space for a while.. and sure there are some of those out there..

Take that dweeb Jorge Stolfi, for example,.. he might even believe his own ongoing nonsense bitcoin naysaying pronouncements.. not sure that a computer science professor could be so dumb, but whatever.. that's part of the reason that we need to have some skepticism that smart people say some dumb things sometimes.. and could just be that they are trying to defend the interests of funding sources that want to hire smart people to make their dumb points because smart people do have better abilities to convince the innocent masses.

Can you withdraw your PayPal BTC to your own wallet? Can you send to any other bitcoin address?

*edit* it would seem like you can, but want to confirm from anyone here who has actually used or uses PayPal.

I just setup a 201 usd dca purchase on the 1st and 15th of the month.  Thank you for your advice.

to all 1btc = 1btc
