I’ve often assumed that Satoshi would never have distributed the code in the first place w/o having at least 3 or 4 personally-controlled machines already running it in the emerging network. I don’t know this is the case, but it seems very sensible.
If so, is that how Satoshi acquired those ~1million coins?
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?
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.
