This reminds me of the 'Ready player one' plot presented in the first book, where Haliday is the equivalent of Satoshi now. If indeed there is an encrypted treasure hidden that would be exciting

Nice reference although I have only watched the movie, I get what you are at. This is as close we can get to replicating that scene. I am really conflicted on this part where if we try to put ourselves into satoshi's brilliant mind, why not leave some clue that there is a game, most treasure map creators tell the prospective winners that there is a treasure hunt and the reward is waiting for them, some will give clue but some consider the announcement as a clue. I mean, why not leave a message, finding the key is already difficult as is. On the other hand, wouldn't the things satoshi said would be more credible like the part where he/she posted about the problem with lost coins, what if the reason that the bitcoin is not moving is because satoshi is doing the favor of making bitcoin more valuable by removing 1,000,000 into the circulation.
