I've read some different estimates but there is a lot of different opinions. I would post this in bitcoin discussion section but its spammer central over there.

Whats your best estimate on how many bitcoins satoshi holds? If someone could provide evidence that would be great.

I dont think that satoshi is a one person , I think they are group or satoshi is made of many people. Well, I dont have an idea how many satoshi bitcoin holds.I little bit curious about your question, i read some of this thread post so that i gain more answer. Thank you for this.

Guess we will never know. My best guess is still that it is one person, because a team of people would not remind this silent about their accomplishments, long term. A team of people would, intentionally or unintentionally, spill bits of info here and there, which finally leads to exposure. Too much conspiracy for me. One man though, could keep silent forever, if he really wishes to.

I still convinced that Satoshi was the late Hal Finney (died in 2014). At least he knew more than he was willing to tell. He is by far the best candidate in my view. Only thing pulling down is the emails between Satoshi and Hal. You got to be really foreseeing and calculating to fake email correspondence between yourself and not be detected in writing analyses. On all other matters, he seems to fit perfect.

Best support for a one man and one that has died, is the million bitcoin on the same account. Either you are terrible rich to begin with, lost your private keys / password or are dead; else the coins would have been accessed at one point. It is also a testimony to the strength / security of the private key. Probably a few 1000 people out there right now trying to get access to this account in one way or another. As long as they remain untouched, you private keys are still very safe. Once movement on the account happens, worry!
