A transaction of Satoshi‘s coins would endure a huge effect for Bitcoin, equally the coins direct maintain non moved since they were mined more than half-dozen years ago. It is assumed that Satoshi mined Bitcoin’s 2nd block, considering that he is believed to endure the solely 1 mining at the time. The bitcoins obtained from mining the first (genesis) block are not spendable due to the agency Bitcoin is coded. H5N1 spending of Satoshi’s coins would endure his starting fourth dimension populace activity inwards near 5 years (except perhaps a post made on his Ning forum profile, which may direct maintain been compromised).
False alarm, everyone. Satoshi did non pass whatever coins; it was simply a error past times Blockchain.info. If Satoshi always spends his coins for real, however, balance assured that the Bitcoin earth volition endure inwards a frenzy.
