This article discusses the wallets and addresses associated with the mysterious Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. It reveals that Satoshi used a large number of addresses, possibly over 20,000, and received a significant number of block rewards. The most famous address is the one used to receive the 50 BTC reward for mining the first block, known as the genesis block. Satoshi's wallets typically hold 50 BTC and have remained untouched, except for one transaction sending 10 BTC to Hal Finney. The article also explores theories about Satoshi's identity and estimates of his total BTC holdings, with some sources suggesting he owns billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin. There have been occasional transactions to Satoshi's addresses, likely as tributes or marketing stunts, but no evidence of spending from his wallets. The article concludes that if there were ever transactions from Satoshi's wallets, it could cause chaos in the Bitcoin markets.
