LOL literally everything you said makes zero sense.

1. To be fair, Bill Gates has done a lot more in terms of innovation than Satoshi Nakamoto, not to diminish Nakamoto's work.

2. Nobody knows how much money Satoshi has because nobody knows who he is.

3. He cannot generate infinite Bitcoin for himself, if he could, he would.

And what did Bill Gates do in terms of innovation?

His only genuine project was some crappy Basic interpreter which couldn't even compile programs (and I'm not sure how truly genuine it was). All other his projects were either outright stolen (like, for example, MS-DOS) or had nothing to do with innovation as such. Bill Gates and Co didn't invent anything on their own. They took networking from BSD TCP/IP stack of Berkeley fame, their NT kernel (so-called "New Technology") has roots in VMS systems of Digital fame. In fact, I'm heavily inclined to think that Microsoft with their monopolization of desktop operating system market has greatly slowed innovation. Apart from that, it doesn't matter whether Satoshi is known or not, it is what he did what matters in the end, and Bitcoin is a real innovation by any metric. Whether it will be of great purpose and success eventually we can't say right now since it may take decades to come to any definite conclusion

Worse than not innovating anything, Bill Gates employs thousands of people to innovate things for him and then everyone gives him credit for their work, which he also takes the surplus labour value from.

Satoshi was great because he was actually a coder and actually an innovator. Bill Gates never will be.
