It's not a secret Satoshi Nakamoto has more than 1 million of Bitcoins in his wallet, right?

If he suddenly wants to sell all his Bitcoins, could it cause a chaos in Bitcoin market making the price fall? Or is this amount too insignificant to cause any mess?

I think the more interesting scenario (but still farfetched) is if/when there is a fork, Satoshi could decide to dump on the chain he doesn't like. So say there was a core/BU fork and he wanted core to be the dominant chain, he could dump all his BU coins and pump core btc with the profit.

Yep, it would be interesting to see

I guess we should hear a lot of rumors about Satoshi's stand on this issue as we approach the finish line. He doesn't even need to sell his bitcoins, just voicing his opinion will suffice, and people will understand everything on their own. In fact, this is a good pretext or event for a comeback provided he is still alive, of course (and didn't lose the private keys from his wallets). Though it still would be better to dump the coins and support miners of his choice financially (to add more hashing power to his camp)

It would be interesting, but I think he wouldn't do this, as it would hurt the decentralization purpose. He would impose his own wish with his unproportional power compared to other holders.

At same time, there are many other holders that together can have the same amount Satoshi has. It could be a battle of giants to dump one or another currency

That's why it is wise to get out of Bitcoin until the dust settles (more or less)

I don't advise anyone to leave Bitcoin completely but cashing out some fraction of one's stash could turn out to be a wise idea in the end (before things get really complicated). Regarding changing the world for the better, as another poster suggested, money can't solve everything. In fact, it can't solve anything substantial or existential. As the Jewish proverb goes, if money can solve the problem, it is not a problem but expenses
