That is because you are not very bright.

Calm down, it was a typo. I meant 1.3M not 13M.

Edit: It is getting hysterical in here. If you lot keep this up I am going to have pull my buy-ins as this sort of anger/denial hysteria is generally followed by fear. I don't want to participate in any market ruled by maniacal fear.

I am not saying that Satoshi is going to destroy Bitcoin. I am merely responding to the suggestion made by OP that if he did dump his coins, then bitcoin would quickly recover, which is of course lunacy on toast. IF Satoshi went to the exchanges and dumped 1.3M BTC, which he isn't going to do, but if he did, he would smash Bitcoin down to single and even decimal digits with still over 1 million coins in the Ask wall. This market is not that liquid in comparison to the number of coins out in circulation.

What would happen to USD if China started dumping all its US government bonds?

Same thing here with Satoshi's Bitcoins.

Finally, you got something right. This has been confirmed by sources (mostly my wife, and maybe my kids).

But, if that was indeed him in the article, you've gotta think he would've dumped by now if he was going to. And, it can't be the same guy who supposedly wrote the article regarding the train through East LA stuff. The language is completely different. One looks like english as a first language, the other looks like english as a 5th language.

That would depend if he sold them or what. Could blow the price through the roof or end bitcoin for good.

What? of course it would go to ZERO when all buy orders are fulfilled and there are none left on the exchange, that is essentially zero. He has enough bitcoins to push the market to fulfill all buy orders listed at any time.

We should know soon I guess if he intends to withdraw.  Which exchange offers the fastest verification for USD withdrawls?  I had a Vault of Satoshi account get verified in <12 hours.  Bitstamp is still taking about 48-72 hours I think.

I hope they waive the fees for Mr Nakamoto.

people who
 know him ... knows he does no need withdraw anything ... anywhere, anytime he goes... he will be welcomed ... even in the star haven  

How can we trust someone who says, in a public forum that Natalie Portman is 'ugly as hell'??

Not only Satoshi.. When you look at the history of bitcoin, then in all probability, there are millions of coins out there that have been earned by drug dealers,computer crackers and confidence men.
This is the main reason I only hold coins when going to sleep, when there is a very strong upwards momentum, like we witnessed in November.
I can trust the source code of bitcoin, and I can even somehow trust some of the exchanges, but I can't trust a bunch of unknown people with unknown motives to keep my coins valuable.
It seems that most people are just ignoring this problem, since it hasn't happened yet. But this isn't making me feel any secure, because The Crash would only happen once, with leaving bitcoin in ruins.

Exactly. We may compare to the oil price after 9/11; it spiked but then dropped because the (airplane) game changed.

Markets are funny. I could imagine that price would drop but then things would happen like: investors grap cheap coins to repair Gox, Wallstreet grabs cheap coins to get their funds filled, and finally the "market" would recognize that there will never be so many coins thrown at the market in the future and price could go up quite a bit.

Btw. I don't think he would sell them like that, this would probably be a dark pool transaction to a Wallstreet vehicle. An open transaction is not in Satoshi's interest and not in the investor's interest either. And the tax issue of course ...
