On-chain data clearly shows that the "Satoshi coins" that have never been moved are not in one wallet at all, but are scattered like beans across nearly 22k completely different addresses. Each address is lying alone with the block reward from back then — exactly 50 BTC. You read that right, not a single whale, but a super fleet of 22k "small wallets."
What is going on? Today, let me explain to you the geek romance hidden at the deepest level of Bitcoin's design.
Don't be fooled by the word "wallet."
On the blockchain, what we usually call "a wallet" is often just an address. But who says a person can only have one address? Think of today's bank cards — you may only have one card, but in the Bitcoin world, every time you interact with the world, the system suggests you use a brand new "card."
Satoshi Nakamoto just took this design philosophy to the extreme — no, he didn't even deliberately "use" it; everything was just automatically run by the mining software.
From 2009 to 2010, the entire network had almost no hash power, and Satoshi Nakamoto silently guarded the genesis years of Bitcoin with just a few computers. At that time, the client had a default mechanism: every time you mined a new block, the program would automatically generate a brand new, never
