Imagine being the creator of Bitcoin, and mining Bitcoins in private for weeks or months before going public.

You’d be able to gather all of the low hanging fruit, then let the world make your Bitcoins worth millions.

Yep. The real Satoshi (Wright is not him) mined around 1 million bitcoins early on.

That stash, none of which has been spent, is currently worth about $440 million. Not a bad little nest egg....
