back then privkeys, had no value.
they were not important.
satoshi;s philosophy was if people lost their keys it made the coins left in circulation more scarce
he showed no desire, excitement or effort in hoarding. no mention of wanting/needing to accumulate. he preferred sharing coins for others to use for bug testing
as did others back then. making faucets to give coins away
hoarding/accumulating coin mindsets only begun in 2011
If it's the case why did Satoshi hoard over 1 million bitcoin? Those were mined before 2011.
He did not hoard these coins. He had to mine them to let the network run. Without mining these, we wouldn't have Bitcoin today. If more people connected to the network and made the hashrate up, we wouldn't have these coins. How can we know this? He marked these coins so that we can separate them and analyze them.
