mr nakamoto

-could have been already wealthy enough before inventing bitcoin

-could be more more than one person, which broke up/having a fight

-could have lost access to priv keys

-could have destroyed priv keys

-could be a secret service project that not even the secret service knows about and already cancelled/finished/aborted

-could be dead

-could have had an accident/sick/stroke/amnesia

-could be in jail

-could have decided to live as a hermit in the taiga

-knows what panic it could cause if he starts to move the oldest coins

-and so on....

since he created bitcoin to replace the fiat banking system, why would he dump his precious coins when fiat is weakest and his coins are strongest ? he might not be thinking in terms of fiat accumulation, but in terms of revolution. revolutionaires tend to be less corrupt then average.

Man, I wish someone would write an espionage-thriller novel about Satoshi.
The potential plot elements are all there - genius on the run, conspiracy, shadowy elite, hidden fortune, assassination, NSA - only thing missing is a leggy blonde.
