Imagine, creating the world’s best form of money.
And losing your private key.
No one can know. No one can ever know.
Satoshi didn't lose their private key, they did it on purpose on behalf of the health of this amazing technology ;)

That dude is a bigger joke than the thought of Satoshi losing his/her keys lol

Satoshi is dead. When he realized that Bitcoin is getting traction, he burned the genesis block keys (his initial BTC addresses) so that block could never be changed. All his BTC are burned, nobody will move them, forever. That is a feature not a bug. So even if somebody will change all the blocks, the genesis block will still remain the same. FOREVER.

Very real possibility. He might (also?) be dead. One candidate died by suicide around the timeframe one might expect for a person who became depressed around the time satoshi walked away.
