The Bitcoin genesis block tells an interesting story. Satoshi Nakamoto's address holds approximately 1.1 million BTC—representing roughly 5% of the total Bitcoin supply. These coins weren't obtained through market purchases but rather accumulated during Bitcoin's earliest mining days, when few understood what was being created.

Fast forward to today: that 1.1M BTC translates to nearly $95 billion in current market value. Satoshi didn't just launch the network; they were its first miner, accumulating these holdings before Bitcoin had any real-world price or recognition.

What's remarkable? Despite holding this enormous wealth, there's been no sudden market dump, no rug pull, no panic sell-offs. Satoshi's coins remain largely dormant—a testament to either conviction in the vision or simply stepping away from the project entirely. It's one of crypto's greatest mysteries: the creator's wallets sitting untouched, worth nearly $100 billion, yet completely still.

Really, Satoshi Nakamoto's move is incredible. Just sitting on 10 billion dollars without doing anything.

That's incredible. Satoshi Nakamoto's move is just crazy. 9.5 billion dollars are just sitting there, not moving a single hair. --- No way, it's already 2024, and there are still people who believe Satoshi Nakamoto is just "having faith"? I bet he already changed identities and disappeared. --- The key is that this hundred billion dollars didn't dump at all. What does that mean? Either they've truly had a great awakening, or they simply forgot about this issue altogether. --- Holding onto 9.5 billion and still resisting the urge to sell—that's some serious restraint... I honestly can't learn that. --- Honestly, Satoshi Nakamoto's silence is the biggest endorsement, more convincing than any CEO shouting buy signals. --- Thinking calmly, if these coins move someday, what would Bitcoin's price look like... No wonder they say it's a ticking time bomb.

9.5 billion dollars just lying there, it's really outrageous. If it were me, I would have already run away. Not gonna lie, if Satoshi were really alive, he would have been doxxed long ago. The mystery is just too top-notch. Basically, it's either believe in max or not care about money at all. The temptation of nine figures is hard to resist. If you're not a superhuman, you've truly let go. This wallet explains the issue better than any white paper. The strongest diamond hands in history, no kidding. If I had this amount of coins, I would have already sold them. How carefree must this person be? This is true long-termism—never touching a hundred billion.
