if i were satoshi (ALL BOW BEFORE THE MIGHTY VAPOURMINER... err i mean SATOSHI) i would dump the alts and donate them to charities/research/foundations. many of the real bitcoin stash too. i mean satoshi really needs more than a million coins to be happy? jeez and i thought I was being greedy with my pitiful aspirations..
Alternate possible scenario: Satoshi foresaw the possibility of idiots perverting his system, and maintained a large reserve of coin capable of righting the wrong. #justsayin

Shelby's response:

Satoshi wasn’t dumb enough to design a decentralized game theory that required his centralization. How can you continue to allow yourself to be scammed and fooled? Always coming back for sloppy seconds, thirds… I’ve tried to help you and @realr0ach, but both you appear to be unteachable.

Funny. Shelby had been copying me in PM on most of the recent traffic, yet neglected to include me in this one. Whatevs.

That said, it is a reasonable point. However, it kind of flies in the face of the probability that Satoshi -- whomever he/she/they may be -- likely has ownership of something on the order of 1Million BTC, BCH, BSV, BTG, etc... Exercised or not, the option remains a locus of centralization.

Nevermind the fact the Shelby has from time to time reversed tack on things he was adamant were settled gospel. I respect him, his intellect, and his reasoning skills. But I gotta go with what I see, not outsource my vision to others.

Lastly, that bon mot was just a devil's advocate response to vapourminer's flight of fancy.
