In all likelihood the new owner would want the account to engage in some sort of massive scam;
No doubt, as I can't see anybody trying to buy an old account simply to enter it into a signature campaign and then wait until the buyer earns enough to make the purchase worth it--idiots who buy accounts here generally aren't that forward-looking to begin with, so there would have to be some kind of scheme they had in mind to scam $10k+.
As to what sort of account would be worth that amount of dough....it'd have to be an account that was very trusted, Legendary, and even then $10,000 is a lot for a single bitcointalk account, especially with all the risk involved in getting caught. Hopefully none of the OGs here would consider selling their accounts to a potential scammer (or anyone else for that matter). Bad things happen when accounts change hands.
(Sorry for the tag to some of you, just trying to make a point)
$100k? Ha... I wouldn't sell this account for all the bitcoin
Smart, as if you did, the network would probably be forked and your 21,000,000 bitcoin would probably be worth less than $100k not long after you attain them

Is Bitcointalk this large?Since 2021 I have been in this forum, I haven't come across your username anywhere. It is it me that doesn't explore the forum, or you that doesn't post often. I have long thought Hhampuz is the most trusted. I had to go check the bpip.org and you are seated at the No.1 spot.
A lot of OG names probably would not be familiar to you as a lot of them are no longer active or just pop in occasionally...most have no need to be paid by a signature campaign to post actively, most probably retired themselves by now. minerjones included.
Remember, this forum was created by Satoshi in 2009. Lots happened would have happened between 2009 and when you joined in 2021, many members would have come and gone, especially since Bitcoin went astronomic in 2020-21.
