Since I work in IT I think the the hard disk which is where we store our coins if we use desktop wallets that keeps all the blockchain and also all other data like the tools to create the first Bitcoin rarely fails,sure it can be corrupted but data can be in most of the cases 100% recovered.I would also like to find out more about Satoshi as we owe him a lot,personally I use Bitcoin from quite some years now and it is my go to form of payment of both investing and both using it as a store of value.However I am not convinced from this story as a genius like him cannot be justified by a hardware failure,he is way years ahead to be stopped by a computer failure.
