At the height of the last bullrun, Satoshi Nakamoto had a networth of an estimated 75.6 billion. This was due to the ownership of around 1.1 million Bitcoin, which at the time was worth a great deal. Now, Satoshi’s networth is around half of that – about \~35 billion.
For comparison, the current richest man alive is Elon Musk with a networth of 232 billion, followed by the second richest man with a networth of 175 billion, and the third richest man with a networth of 144 billion.
This begs the question; what will Satoshi Nakamoto’s networth be at the next bullrun? Will he become the richest man alive or dead?
It is possible that Satoshi Nakamoto may become the wealthiest individual in the world. However, the interesting thing to consider is that Satoshi Nakamoto is anonymous, and whether he is alive or not, it is likely that he will do nothing with the wealth.
The name ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ has been immortalized with Bitcoin and it looks like it will be around for a very, very, very long time, probably until the end of human civilization. So, in a metaphysical sense, ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ may be alive despite not being alive in a physical sense.
It’s an interesting thought; the potential richest man alive or dead being anonymous and having done nothing with the wealth. There is something poetic about it.
At the end of the day, no one knows what the future holds. However, it is interesting to consider the possibilities of what could come from the next bullrun. Will Satoshi Nakamoto become the richest man alive or dead? It’s a question that only time can answer.
