People with the most bitcoin in the world
if the cryptocurrency exchange is the largest bitcoin warehouse, people may not be surprised. 6.7% (about $9.8 billion) of bitcoin currently in circulation are held by cryptocurrency exchanges however, more interestingly, despite the long bear market, the bitcoin reserves of these exchanges have been increasing no matter "up or down"
in the past two years, BTC inventories of eight exchanges including Kraken, bitstamp and binance have increased steadily. This is in sharp contrast to the volatility bitcoin has experienced since March 2017. These largest bitcoin holders continue to have confidence in the cryptocurrency market and continue to increase their share regardless of market conditions
if you imagine yourself as a big fish in an infill pond, it may become easier in the future. As bitco reported a few weeks ago, the number of BTCs you need to be a whale may change over time. If you believe in some theories, holding a bitcoin may give you enough power to influence the market
although others disagree, they point out that one of the 21 million bitcoins is very "insignificant". So no matter what the situation is, no matter how many bitcoins you have, keep a positive attitude
Recently, logic thinking & amp; The video of APP founder Luo Zhenyu talking about his investment in bitcoin was exposed again. In the video, Luo Zhenyu said that because he believed in the trend, he bought 100 bitcoins, which are now worth 3 million
LUO Zhenyu said that the simplest way to invest is: as long as you believe in the trend, you don't care after investing. It's more important to increase your ability to earn money
Unlike all currencies,
bitcoin does not rely on a specific monetary institution. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity
on December 17, 2017, bitcoin reached an all-time high of $19850
Let's start with a simple conclusion: a year ago, the data showed that there were about 500000 BTC
two American brothers, Cameron winkleworth and Taylor winkleworth, claiming that they owned 1% of bitcoin [1] 1% of the world's bitcoin? At present, the total amount of bitcoin in the world is about 12 million, that is to say, the two brothers hold about 120000 bitcoins< maybe you don't think it's worth much, but note that the starting price of bitcoin for these two people is less than $10 / bitcoin
Please note that entities are used instead of people. In the analysis method of this paper, bitcoin wallets that may belong to the same owner are divided into the same entity, which may be not only a person, but also a trading organization like Mt. GOx in addition, through the analysis of the most active entity table given in this paper, the income of the people with the most income (excluding expenses) is less than 700000 BTC. In other words, the person with the most bitcoin will hold no more than 700000 bitcoins. How many people in the world own bitcoins? The paper concludes that as of May 13, 2012, 1.85 million entities hold bitcoin. If we assume that bitcoin users have grown linearly since the advent of bitcoin (January 2009), the current number should be 2.5 million. Because the number of entities is counted on paper, the actual number of bitcoin holders should be a little less than this number, but not much smaller, because after all, there are not many large trading platforms
In addition to the above two problems, [3] also gives many interesting conclusions, such as: < UL >about 55% of bitcoin can be saved without money
in places like GOx mountain, almost all deals are small ones
before May 2012, almost all large single transactions (& gt; 50000 BTC) are subsequent transactions of 90000 BTC on November 8, 2011. There are very strange patterns in this long list of transactions. For example, an entity divides 90000 BTCs into different sizes, sends them back to itself three times, and then sells them on Mt. GOx. 90000 BTCs sold are sent back to the entity through 90 different bitcoin addresses, with 1000 bitcoins per address. These operations indicate that the entity appears to be trying to hide the relationship between these transactions
1) two American brothers, Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, claim to hold about 1% of bitcoin in the world? Now the total amount of bitcoin in the world is about 12 million BTC, that is to say, these two brothers hold about 120000 bitcoins. Maybe you don't think these are too valuable, but note that the starting price of bitcoin for these two people is below $10 / BTC. At the current market price of $430 / BTC, the yield is...... (2) Li Xiaolai claims that he is the first person in China to hold bitcoin, holding six digit bitcoin (no video link found.)
3) after the founder of the silk road was arrested, his 140000 bitcoin was seized by the FBI [2]
therefore, the people who have the most bitcoin should hold more than 1% of the world's total. This can be seen from the daily BTC holdings list
more systematic research comes from academia. The Israeli mathematician ADI Shamir (if the name is unfamiliar, he is the s in RSA algorithm) published a paper "quantitative analysis of the full bitcoin
transaction graph" in 2012, which analyzed the transaction records of the first 18000 blocks in the special currency system (as of May 13, 2012), This paper studies some interesting problems in bitcoin market
in their analysis results, at the end of the first 18000 blocks of chain, the entities with the most bitcoin holdings range from 200000 to 400000 BTC (the article does not give specific figures), and only one entity with more than 200000 bitcoin holdings. In history, the largest amount of money held was more than 500000 BTC, with two entities
note that "entity" is used instead of "person". In the analysis method of this paper, bitcoin wallets that may belong to the same owner are classified as the same entity. This entity may not only be a person, but also be a trading organization such as Mt. GOx
in addition, by analyzing the table of the most active entities given in the article, the income of the people with the most income (excluding expenses) is below 700000 BTC. In other words, the person who owns the most bitcoin will not hold more than 700000 BTC

for the sake of wealth, businessmen, programmers and civil servants have all joined bitcoin crazily. Over the years, the price of bitcoin has gone through ups and downs. Some of them are already rich, while others end up in dismay among the earliest players of bitcoin in China, there is a legendary life of getting rich overnight, as well as a tragic story of family destruction. These stories bear witness to the development history of the coin circle
in fact, in my opinion, for bitcoin, the first batch may get up early and catch up late. Why do you say that< because over the years, people who can hold bitcoin are full of faith. Most of them came into contact with each other in the past 13 years. They were sold when the price rose to more than 7000, or got off ahead of time, or plummeted after the price rose. Now it's too late. The person who holds bitcoin for a long time is the one who forgets the private key of the wallet, which means that this part of the coin is lost and will never be taken back
at least 1 million of them have been lost. Suppose there are 1 million of the remaining 1 person (Satoshi),
100000 of the remaining 10 people,
10000 of the remaining 100 people,
only 6.7 million. Therefore, I believe that there are no more than 1000 BTCs owned by more than 5000 people in the world,
I'm afraid there are only 5% or 250 BTCs in China
