Topic: What if...Satoshi Nakamoto suddenly burns 1 million bitcoins? - page 2. (Read 4374 times)

I don't think there's need to worry. The coins have not moved in 7 years. Satoshi Nakamoto is probably dead by now, or lost the coins, or whatever else. Something happened. It's impossible he/they would not move the coins for 7+ years.

It's pretty simple and this applies on every kind of stock ever, currency, commodity, whatever: scarcity is good and will make whatever your are holding more valuable (if the demand stays the same).
but the demand never stays the same. especially if such big things happen. this would cause an uncertainty which has always cause some kind of panic. people have the need to act and buy or sell. you can make money if you know which way it will be, but this is just the theory and those are easy.

ehh not sure about it , but I think the price won't go down since satoshi's coins are considered by many people burnt at the moment
so probably the price would stay the same or it would go up , in the long run there will be less coins available for the public which should increase the price

also satoshi does not have 1 million coin, it was said via a good reseach that he has only 200k, so that amount will hard kill bitcoin or do anything really relevant, compared to what happened already with hacked exchange and everything else that already happened

What is this address? 13 bitcoin in the wallet lol why people keep sending money to this wallet? 
Btw I don't understand the question on OP
it is very unlikely (close to impossible) that someone has or ever will have the private key to this address. so we can assume that all coins send there are lost forever. a possible use of that is to create altcoins. you get some altcoin by exchanging it for bitcoin. to give value to the new coin you have to destroy some bitcoin. to some this makes sens. Btw I don't understand the question on OP

The address is an address that has no private key (no one know it and probably never will) , Coins can be sent to this address to get rid of them forever.
As satoshi still has over 1 million btcs in his known addresses op was asking what the impact would be on the market if these coins where destroyed.

Dude bitcoin is not printed like paper currency so how could he burn bitcoin. Well he could throw away his hard disk which would have 1 million that's a man made artificial loss in bitcoin network but burning is out of question
When people send coin to 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE those coins are considered burnt because no one has the key to that address and the possibility of that address being cracked are so small its not worth thinking about.
My take on these coins being burnt would be that price would increase for 2 reasons. NO1 being that there are now 1 million lees coins available and No2 that satoshi has returned.

There would have to be some proof showing that the keys for those coins were lost/ destroyed.
Since Satoshi is possibly in hiding, dead, or more than one person has control over those keys,
it would be very hard to prove that this happened.
If it was proven, price would naturally go up by a percentage related to the amount of coins reduced.
(And possibly more by the hype that was generated.)

The title explains it all, you look at blockchain.info and see a burst of transactions sending a total of 1000000BTC to 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE.
What happens next?
Would it make headlines?
Would the exchange rate rise significantly?
Is it likely?

One million bitcoins worth 700 million dollar and yeah the price would be increased very high because less bitcoin will be available.
It means that 1/24 of the total amount of bitcoin will be gone, which is around 4% of the total bitcoins or 1/16 of the actual number of bitcoins.

In my opinion nothing will really happen,those bitcoins are not moving and we have been ok all this time,so even if they burn those bitcoins,there will be no impact at all,but if ever those bitcoin moves there will be a slight drop in the market but will eventually recover.

There's not that much that will happen. He didn't sell the coins so the price will definitely not decrease. There would be discussions in here about that and it will become a part of the bitcoin history. People would be asking why to themselves and maybe think about how much money Satoshi let go. It might even be featured in some Youtube channels and facebook pages which might lead to new comers but that wouldn't be that much of a difference.
This is correct as long satoshi didn't sell those coins it wont really affect the bitcoins price infact the supply would be decreased by 1m which is 21m in total. It would be considered as lost bitcoin though but same as you said it would be trending and might convince some new people to engage into bitcoin. This type of question has no sense at all for me. Really. Burning huge amounts of money is just like suicide and no person who have normal thinking would do that.

Price would first crash due the shock factor, and then it's going to go to 10.000 dollars, since it's 000.000 zeroes in a million, i would say it can go x 1.000 higher, so if any case that happens, it would be good news for us holders.

If Satoshi does such a thing, then the value of BTC would go sky high since there will be in one million coins less to be mined and the USD value of 1 BTC might go up even 300$ more within a day. It would become a headline and all news channels would feature that for quite sometime and more people would come to know about bitcoins, thus increasing the amount of people using bitcoins and thus, an increase in buying and earning BTCs.
all everything dev coin and found coin
or investor buy ico with much coin
never superdump and destroy the coin, because this him bussines long time , and not, take profit sell all coin super dump, coin lost and dilisting to exchanger same ponzy scheme
this him and dev coin want long time bussines

Well, it's very easy to guess, bitcoin prices will come down drastically, and perhaps with so many people who are no longer believed to bitcoin, and most likely, bitcoin will disappear slowly. Well, I guess if that happens then something bad will happen to users bitcoin, but I hope it does not happen
