Satoshi ran of with 1 mill BTC. Now wonder he is in the shadows.


Are you one of those who think that he will spend them one day? I wonder why he has been waiting for it for 15 years Roll Eyes

It's also worth to mention that ~1 million BTC is enough to make Satoshi enter top individual rich list[1].

I agree with the op that Trump is using Bitcoin to get elected, but we can't know what he will or won't do once he gets there. While he may personally still be sceptical about cryptos, he is a politician, and a very pragmatic one at that. So I think that if pushing crypto policies forward is going to be beneficial for him, he will go for it. If not, he will drop it and pretend there's nothing he can do because it is not within the President's functions to regulate financial matters in a democratic country. So he can always play the powerless card if he needs to, but perhaps pushing for cryptos will be in his best interest. I personally hope we'll never find out because he won't get elected, but we'll see.

If he win and use such excuse, that would be very ironic when his Project 2025 aims to give US president more authority.
