To be fair,

Either the creator has been dead for awhile, or it was indeed literally a product of the Deep State.

Those are the only two possibilities that make any sense.

(In b4 (((Consuela))) rushes in here to assure us all that only a "total retard" would possible believe that the former is a possibility, trust me I know these things etc.)

its szabo. he probably deleted the keys. but he's also just insane enough to leave it sitting there.

I can think of three possibilities off the top of my head:

1) He's dead.

2) He lost his keys for whatever reason.

3) If he were to sell, that would signal to the market that he doesn't believe in his own creation, which could cause the market to collapse. Sort of like when insiders at a company start selling their shares.

To be fair,

3 isn't really legitimate, because he could easily sell a few BTC here and there every so often and make some nice change from doing it and no one would freak out.

The mystery is why massive amounts have sat totally untouched in wallets for 15+ years now with absolutely no movement whatsoever.

Could have other wallets that he converts to fiat. Not too far fetched that leaving that particular wallet untouched was part of the initial plan.

Cr, he (or they, if it was a group) could have had other wallets that they cashed out.

Yeah, 3) probably isn't an issue now, but it would have been a consideration 10-15 years ago. And if he didn't sell in the early days, that makes it more like that 1) or 2) happened between then and now.

Having said that, it's also possible that he is a true believer that believes that crypto will replace fiat (which will become worthless) and that there is no reason to ever convert crypto to fiat. It's also possible that he values his anonymity more than being rich and knows that if he started selling his stash, his anonymity would probably be blown.

this has nothing to do with bitcoin and doesn't say anything that wouldn't be old news to anyone who read cypherpunks at the time
