How much money Satoshi
Evaluation of research units based on the analysis of the activities of the miner who has dominated the network of Bitcoin throughout 2009. Analysts believe that with high probability they could be a person or group of people, hiding under the name of Nakamoto.
Experts estimate the number of blocks, which is the largest miner was able to produce during this time. Even given the comparative ease of mining at that time, condition unknown, may not exceed 700 thousand bitcoins. The statement is true provided that Nakamoto no coins received in any other way.
Despite the presence of convincing evidence of the existence of a dominant miner in the Bitcoin network in 2009, we believe that the data are much less reliable than previously thought. If the statement is true, Satoshi could produce much less than a million bitcoins. Rather, it is about 600-700 thousand coins.
Even if Satoshi owns 700 thousands of bitcoins, this makes it one of the richest people in the world. What would you do with this amount of money? Share dreams in .
