How wealthy are Bitcoin's early adopters?

[WestDogg]

We know what the hash rates were in Bitcoin's early days and we know how long it took to mine a Bitcoin. Can we extrapolate and speculate just how rich the people who got in when Bitcoin was under 10 cents are today? What about people who kept mining 24/7 when it was under $1? What about $10?

Do you guys think there were people in the early days who mortgaged expensive property and went all in?

How much do you think Satoshi holds across all of his wallets? More than $1 billion USD at today's rates? What about the rest of the early developers and founding members? What about the Core development team?

Some people made a fortune- but I guess most of them lost a lot with MyBitcoin, Mt.Gox, Bitcoinica, BTC S&T, etc.

Yes, I remember this post: http://falkvinge.net/2011/05/29/why-im-putting-all-my-savings-into-bitcoin/

I'm using Bitcoin for more than five years and made some money with it, but I also spent a lot.

My name is Bagatell. I have been involved with Bitcoin for three years. I am not wealthy.

Wealthy is a relative term... but surely anyone who accumulated in 2016 would be significantly up today in 2021.
