If any of the BTC founder's blocks suddenly became active it would crash the price because most people would suspect someone found an exploit in the contract/hash or the keys were stolen.

That’s fine when you’ve already locked the price into something else that’s not-btc.

While you could sign a message with your key, you would still need something that accepts the proof but isn’t public, which might be possible with a properly structured/constructed smart contract, maybe?

The issue is finding someone willing to loan you $20B for your bitcoin without doing the research of how that would tank the price of bitcoin.

It would be a great deal for Satoshi, but no other party would accept.
