I just noticed an interesting fact about the creator of Bitcoin's wealth. Satoshi Nakamoto, whose identity remains a mystery to this day, technically owns assets worth over 130 billion dollars. That’s a huge sum, but there’s something paradoxical about it.



The thing is, none of his bitcoins have ever been spent or sold on the market. All those coins, accumulated in the earliest days of the network, simply sit there since their creation. At the current BTC price of around 77.5K, Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings are only growing along with the price.

This creates a funny situation: the person who created this entire ecosystem remains one of the biggest holders, but his wealth is completely frozen. No transactions, no movements. Just unused bitcoins that become more valuable over time.

What does this mean for the market? Probably one of the strongest signals of long-term conviction in Bitcoin, even if that conviction belongs to an anonymous genius who has long disappeared from the scene.
