XRP lawyer says Bitcoin (BTC) will never be security, regardless of Satoshi's actions BTC $BTC ETH $XRP $ETH
He explains what he meant:"If Satoshi would have sold some of his first BTC and the buyer didn't do any mining himself but just sat back and waited for the price to go up, it meets the Howey Test."However, it appears that Satoshi never sold any of his Bitcoin, so this was not the case. Except for the 10 BTC sent to Hal Finney in 2009, not a single Bitcoin has ever been removed from any of the Bitcoin wallets since they were initially created, presumably by Satoshi Nakamoto.
In the early days of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto accumulated a sizable number of BTC by mining. According to the widely cited estimate, he mined about 1.1 million BTC. expressed his displeasure with the narrative being pushed by SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and some key figures in the crypto space that some tokens were securities.
He cited MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor, who discussed some tokens that fit into the securities classification in an interview. Deaton criticized Saylor and pointed out that"XRP is software code. Even if Ripple sold XRP in an unregistered securities offering, it doesn't mean XRP is a security."
