Yes, this is what I have mentioned in the other thread. If Satoshi is adamantly against BU (and there are reasons to think he is) he could dump it into the ground.

Sources?

The usual suspects.

What makes you think that Satoshi is alive?

Well yeah Hal is dead (r.i.p.).. if you think he was alone.

doesnt matter what satoshi does. spending coins is just temporary "price" drama.
if anyone only cares about price drama they need to take a step back and think about the bigger picture.
if anyone only cares about 'double my coins' greed drama they need to take a step back and think about the bigger picture.

I dunno.. 5-10% of outstanding btc might not be "temporary price drama".

Lets say hypothetically there is a split, and BU gets vast majority of hashrate, and BU price is around $1000. Then Satoshi would control roughly $800 million to $1.6 billion worth of bitcoin. Lets say he had very strong reasons to dislike BU, and also felt that in a free market, anybody should be able to sell their coins whenever they want. I don't know what the total order book liquidity across all the exchanges would be for BU, but I doubt it could withstand the epic tsunami of one billion dollars worth of Satoshi's BU coins raining down upon them.
