Title: Who is the Greatest Holder of Bitcoins? Post by: johnniewalker on December 05, 2012, 08:51:02 AM Sorry, technically I'm not a "n00b" but I was afraid of embarrassing myself (no offense to you guys).
This is it: is there one greatest BTC holder and do we know who he or she(unlikely) is? Or is that just not public at all. My guess would be high-ups at mtgox and other exchange sites and believe it or not Silk Road-the tor site you can buy drugs from. I read an article that it was 22 million/year. Now I expect that is gross. taking percentage of purchases or whatever else they do to make money, those guys (shit maybe even just 1) are, I'm sure, SWIMMIN in it. Even if you dont know who we can speculate back and forth. Trying to get something going here. Title: Re: Who is the Greatest Holder of Bitcoins?

Edit: Forgot that guy below. Yes, if he wasn't entirely stupid it's pirate. But I can really imagine that he lost most of the coins himself by trying to manipulate the market and has "only" something around a 100.000 left. Surprisingly Ponzi operators often convince themselves that their plan actually works and are caught by surprise when their ponzi collapses. Title: Re: Who is the Greatest Holder of Bitcoins?

I know he has some of my coins and lots of others ;D Title: Re: Who is the Greatest Holder of Bitcoins?

Only over a million left. :D Title: Re: Who is the Greatest Holder of Bitcoins?

GOT EM I'd read that pirateat40 lost it all in another ponzi scam. Title: Re: Who is the Greatest Holder of Bitcoins? Post by: Endgame on December 06, 2012, 01:32:41 PM Here's my best guess of the largest bitcoin holders:
1. The manipulator 2. Satoshi 3. ArtForz 4. Knightmb 5. Dread Pirate Roberts 6. Pirate Plus there are probably countless other people who bought up/mined stacks of coins in the the early days, who remain darkhorses. Title: Re: Who is the Greatest Holder of Bitcoins?
