Bitcoin Fork Sparks Controversy Over Satoshi’s Lost Fortune
A bold and highly controversial proposal from longtime Bitcoin developer is shaking the crypto space. The plan suggests launching a new fork of that would redistribute a portion of ’s estimated 1.1 million BTC holdings.
Under this proposal, Bitcoin would be duplicated into a new chain called , where users holding BTC at the time of the fork would receive an equal amount of eCash tokens. For example, holding 4.19 BTC would grant 4.19 eCash—giving holders the freedom to sell, hold, or ignore the new asset entirely.
The controversial twist lies in how “inactive” wallets—potentially including Satoshi’s—would be treated. These dormant holdings could be flagged and redistributed across the network under the new system.
Supporters argue this approach could unlock lost liquidity and make the overall supply more dynamic and usable. Critics, however, see it as a dangerous violation of ownership principles, warning that rewriting balances could undermine trust in the entire crypto ecosystem.
