Wait are you making a case for or against Bitcoin?

The crypto community selling out after all the years of "hodl"? I would pay to see that!

Satoshi "secretly" cashing out....what? How could that even happen it's literally impossible for those coins to move. Maybe Satoshi simply sells his private key off-chain, is that what you mean?

I am neither...there is so much hidden behind the curtains, I just focused on what will most likely affect the price, irrelevant of the product itself

Ah nice, we need more of that. I try to take that stance myself as well. First principles etc etc.

What makes it "literally impossible" for those coins to move? I think it is incredibly unlikely but don't see why it is impossible.

Oops left out a word: it's literally impossible for those coins to move in secret. Public ledger and all. Does that answer your question?

I don't think his point is that he will move them secretly, that's why he put quotes around, which I understand as just not publicly announced, or let's say, discreetly. The point is that if Satoshi starts selling, that's enough to start a crash considering how many BTC he has.
