Satoshi’s coins have never moved, this is why it matters!
The person (or people) who created the most powerful financial innovation in modern history, mined over a million bitcoin… and then just disappeared.
No exit, cash-out, no victory lap on mainstream media
Roughly 1 million bitcoin, worth tens of billions have sat still since 2009 with no signs of movement and no attempts to sell
In a world addicted to profit-taking and instant gratification, Satoshi’s restraint is almost unfathomable
And it tells us something powerful:
This was never about getting rich.
It was about building something bigger!
Imagine creating something so valuable, the kind of wealth that could put you on top of the Forbes list overnight and then… walking away.
Because in order for Bitcoin to work it couldn’t have a founder, it couldn’t have a leader, it couldn’t have someone to bribe, to pressure or to subpoena. It had to stand on its own. Just code, consensus, and community.
Now think about the difference:
Ethereum’s founder? Public figure, active, central to decision-making
Solana, Cardano, XRP? All have leaders, dev teams, legal battles, foundations and premine
There is no second best!
