1. He thought the coins are lost forever and we have a lot of 'shalecoins' https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5134441.0 and they will become active one day

or

2. Satoshi created the greatest prize competition and the privatekeys are somehow within the blockchain. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5150688.0



1. Yes, with quantum computers they would become active. Did Satoshi think that quantum computers will exist?

In 2011, Satoshi isn't have a concrete view of what quantum computer is, basically, he knows a bit of info, but to the fact that it can interfere with the blockchain and cryptocurrency, I don't think so. But even though we know there's a risk abiding the creation of quantum computer and the blockchain, blockchain is strong enough to become secure and safe from attacks since the hashes are distributed across many miners around the globe.
