    Yup he was lobbying to have BTC recognised as a currency not a commodity. Though the raid is completely a joke

    looks that way, he also owns the biggest supercomputer in private hands and is probably using it to mine bitcoin.

    Australians hold 15% of all bitcoins, he is probably a fair chunk of it. stupid keeping it in one big wallet though. I would be spreading that shit out across 100's

    He said one wallet, not one address. The bitcoins are most likely distributed across several addresses.
    It's assumed that most of his bitcoins have been acquired by mining at the birth of the blockchain and, apparently, those initial addresses have been used to transfer only peanuts so far.

    considering the price of bitcoin vs gold i would say not.

    appears he was trying to re-enact some kind of gold standard for a bitcoin bank.

    Anyone got an update on this guy?

    If Satoshi has been unmasked then perhaps his involvement might be the best chance of resolving the civil war raging amongst the Bitcoin development teams?
