block 78, Hal Finney.
He has a list of things he did for Bitcoin and was the second miner on the network.

The problem with it being Hal Finney or any of the other known characters is that it doesn't add up: why would anybody want to keep it a secret? And why wouldn't they cash in their $60 billion? (Or, if they lost their keys to the 1M Bitcoin, why wouldn't they just say that and help the price of Bitcoin?).

And remember that this wasn't always $60 billion. Even when Bitcoin was at $1000, somebody would have to turn their nose up at $1 billion--or even less. Had the holder of the 1M Bitcoin been alive and owned it personally, they would have started selling when Bitcoin was $100 or less most likely.

For me, the only possibilities that are plausible is that either Satoshi is dead or he is CIA/NSA. Only a government (and frankly, only the US government) could let $60 billion just sit there.

Who’s to say that Satoshi is still alive?
