The Ghost at #1: Satoshi's 1.1M BTC

One entity mined an estimated ~1.1 million BTC in 2009-2010 and has never spent a single coin.

The top 3

  1. The Patoshi Pattern: Researcher Sergio Lerner traced a single miner's nonce fingerprint across early blocks to ~1.1M BTC.
  2. Why the Coins Never Moved: Lost keys or deliberate silence? Satoshi's identified addresses have sat untouched since 2010.
  3. The Price Bomb If They Ever Move: ~1.1M BTC is about 5% of the fixed 21M cap, so any transfer would be the market's ultimate stress test.
