He must have an iron will because he has 980,000 Bitcoins making him one of the richest people in the world but he has never spent a single one. Whoever Satoshi is he's got to be a brilliant but very odd man who is totally uninterested in fame or great wealth. That's why I don't see how Satoshi could be a group of people as some say, a group could never keep a secret this big for this long, somebody would look at all those Bitcoins and want to buy a new car. There is just a limited number of people that strange.</font></div></div></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">He would have other wallets with much smaller amounts of Bitcoin that he could spend. It’s difficult to spend billions of dollars: almost anything an average person could want could be had with a few tens of millions.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space"><div dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;font-variant-ligatures:normal"><font size="4"></font></div></div></div>
