How much gold would you offer Satoshi Nakamoto to dump a million bitcoin once this reserve is created?

The difficulty in being out in front of the herd is mostly loneliness. But the views are unobstructed and huuuuge. For those following, the trail is easier but the stench of shit mixed with dust fills their nostrils. I'll take lonely anyday, thanks
In 2014, I could buy and do anything I wanted to do paying directly with bitcoin without any ID, which was great since I was debanked in 2010 and had a $657K tax levy and a revoked passport. Today? I drive for hours to plead with people to sell me dollars so I can eat.
Wow! Discussing my first book in my Cryptonautica Series with Derrick J in the summer of 2014, we imagined a screen adaption as a way to onboard ticket buyers. Me, The Bitcoin Storyteller since 2011 was banned, disappeared and imitated with imposters. But the idea remained. If that is not a beautiful picture of what Bitcoin does, Idk.
It cracks me up that bitcoiners chat as if bitcoin is a foregone conclusion whilst having NEVER lived on it, collecting satoshis (you're welcome) as though they are Beanie Babies and Pokemon cards, sure the "value" will go up as if you can increase p2p, private, permissionless from perfect. Nope.
2009 IRS levied my bank and trading accounts
2010 State Department revoked my passport, and I became debanked.
2012 I used Bitcoin for purchases at Porcfest and to pay for weed delivered by a drone.
2013 I sent 2 bitcoin to a woman in who took her entire village out of poverty. Also, Ross Ulbricht was arrested and The State seized control of a large amount of bitcoin, and bitcoiners allowed it . . . because they loved things more than freedom.
2014 I could do anything I wanted with bitcoin.
10 years later, I drive anywhere from an hour to twelve to buy dollahs.
Don't tell me you all have made progress and are more free than you were.
