“My Reveal”Part II By Satoshi Nakamoto
Satoshi Nakamoto ^ | 19 April 2019 | Satoshi Nakamoto

Posted on 08/19/2019 1:24:06 PM PDT by DUMBGRUNT

I mined 980,000 Bitcoins using a remote computer and my laptop in 2009. As Hal Finney explained this in his 2013 Bitcointalk post quite accurately, “those were the days when difficulty was 1, and you could find blocks with a CPU, not even a GPU.”

My full legal name is James Bilal Khalid Caan.

But I will forever be known as Satoshi Nakamoto.

Programming genius who programmed blockchain into bitcoin had to rely on telephone corporate tech help because of a problem with a hard drive? Weird.

Well that sucks. He should have bought an island while he could. 8>)

Unsure of the timeframe,2010 Bitcoins were worth less than a US penny.
Maybe he could have bought a nice timeshare?

If it’s real they will be interviewing him like crazy right away. Or he will be discredited right away. We will see soon.

what’s cool is that he put out part II and part III out together in this one. :)

It’s fun reading, and now I can get back to arranging my sock drawer.

Yes.
I think he is real, too boring to be fake.

I’ve wondered who Satoshi was for a long time. I’ll definitely follow it.

You are correct. I skimmed through the article, however, the price of a bitcoin in 2010 was:

Date USD : 1 BTC Notes
July 2010 $0.008–$0.08 Price skyrocketed by 900% in five days.
October 2010 $0.125 Price surpasses one bit.

So he lost at that moment somewhere between 78,400 (@ .08) and 122,500 (@ .125)

I was looking at the value in 2017, where he stated:

On December 17, 2017, Bitcoin reached its historical peak value of $19,783.06 (per bitcoin), meaning my 980,000 bitcoins would have been worth more than $19 billion – $19,387,398,800 to be precise.

So I stand corrected. I was looking at his value 7 years after he had already lost his bitcoins. 8>)
