I don’t know this is the case, but it seems very sensible.&#xA;&#xA;If so, is that how Satoshi acquired those ~1million coins?&#xA;If not - if that Satoshi block was a pure pre-mine - then isn’t it likely Satoshi acquired many coins just by being 3 or 4 or the first miners to legit mine Bitcoin?&#xA;&#xA;In which case, he/she/they likely were amply rewarded early on. For which I’d be delighted. Hopefully they didn’t sell when it hit $100.</html></oembed>
