So I've seen many threads created about Satoshi Nakamoto, the so called creator of Bitcoin. Which brought me to this question, Does Satoshi Nakamoto matter?
Especially now that bitcoin is being accepted quite well, and also its value rising every day.
Does it matter who its creator is? Or is he dead or alive or what he has to say?
What impact will any of this can have on bitcoin today or tomorrow?
He holds around 6% of the current circulating supply of Bitcoins which makes him a billionaire if he actually exists anymore and also puts him on Forbes list of richest at place #237 if I read correctly earlier. Let alone for being the creator of this wonderful digital currency, he also paved way for the whole altcoin industry to take shape based on his work. Just look at his trust page on the forum you will realize how much appreciation the man has received.
The only thing that matters about him is the 1.2% bitcoins he holds in his wallet which could crash bit coin economy if released at once.
The correct number is 5.89% which when priced at $6000/BTC makes his net worth a whopping $6 billion.
