Bitcoin Forum

Description:
Bitcoin supply is limited to 21 million units.
If each person owns 21 Bitcoin, there would be just 1 million persons that own all Bitcoin (pardon any deviation in ownership).
Thus if you own at least 21 Bitcoin, then you are part of the 1 million population of Bitcoin owners.
Are you part of the Club?













Mark of the BTC

id suggest vote. but dont admit to such in comments or your messages inbox will get spammed with lots of people wanting to be your best friend and offering you links to go visit

first of which is going to be the good old IRS guys coming and knocking at your door to ask for their share of the money which you forgot to pay them. ;)

i am not yet in the millionaire club because i don't have 21 bitcoin in my wallet but i have a dream that i can make more bitcoin by doing trading and other ways. for people that don't have money and only have small part of bitcoin, they can feel its hard and difficult to earn more bitcoin but i am sure that they can do it like others people.

In my purse is now less than bitcoin, so I do not have a place in the club of millionaires. But I also hope that soon everything will change and I will earn a lot of bitcoins))

No. I always spend my bitcoins on something that's why I won't become a part of the club that you're talking about. Highest amount that I had in my wallet overall was 2+ btc still not even close to 21.

Depends if you're in the US or not.  ;)

I just came here to ruin the party.
The millionaire club cannot exist, simply because some Bitcoins have been lost, due to loss of wallets.
Those Bitcoins do exist, but they can't be recovered with today's technology.
Therefore its impossible for 1 million people to have 21 BTC each.

edit: I'm also far away from 21 BTC.

That should not be a problem if you simply declare your bitcoin holdings to the IRS.

Nothing is worse than not declaring your bitcoin and in 5 years sitting a million USD in fiat that you cannot use because there is no way to explain to the IRS how you paid for that new car or house.

Be smart and pay your taxes, makes your life a lot easier.

I don't own more than 21 bitcoin, i even don't have BTC in two digit. May be i own around 3-4 bitcoin but i am quite sure the one who own 21+ bitcoin may not admit it in comment and the one who may post it may also not have that amount in reality. So this types of poll may not be give any accurate data  ;D

Offcourse not, I don't have 21 bitcoins. It's worth more than $21000 and I'm very far from such amount of btc.
I'm not sure that you will get many responses from people who have 21 bitcoins and more. Mostly people don't want to share in public what they have in their wallets. They don't want publicity I think.

I think you really mean "millionth" instead of "millionaire". The first thing "millionaire" suggests to me is having one million of something, either BTC or fiat. Having one million BTC is unreasonable. Having one million fiat depends on where are you from.



—I suck dick. They pay well.

LOL, 21 btc. That's what most of the old time miners earned their first few days or week of mining. There's a ton of people around here that have a lot more than 21 coins.

shhh, or the sigspammers earning pennies a month will get jealous and start plotting

Excuse the technicality but aren't bitcoin millionaires people who own $1m< in Bitcoin?
Hehe stated my nonsensical punch line, yes I do have well over 21 bitcoin and enjoy my non US residency far from those IRS tax vultures.

PS @LE/IRS, you know I'm just trying to show off and don't actually have a penny. Please let me be... I'm having trouble with rent.

There are several people that are actively do Fri bring to the Bitcoin economy July buying BTC and using it for services but don't accumulate coins. With it's volatilitg, Bitcoin isn't the store of wealth for everyone.

You made my day with that comment. I loled so hard. The sad part is that you might be right here ;)

franky1 we all know that you are very rich bitcoin whale, anyone with activity higher than 1500 is, that is a proven fact. /jk

As for me I joined BTC hype train in 2014, with no capital to invest in BTC and poor decision making with BTC trading led me nowhere.
With high BTC price there is no way I will ever own 21 BTC.

Unfortunately I'm not in 21 club. I wish I was, this is a very nice sum. The worst thing is that I had great chance to owe such amount of Bitcoins and even more but I've missed it and missed my opportunity to get a very well backed up with Bitcoins.
Anyway, my congratulations to everyone who has 21 Bitcoins in the wallet.

I'm still pretty far away from being a one-in-a-million when it comes to Bitcoin, but I'm kind of hoping that I get to reach that point one day. If I was a bit more dedicated time-wise and I had the opportunities to becoming more involved and earn more Bitcoin, then I might have been in that place by now, but for right now I'm still sitting at least a few BTC away form that target.

I'm more than one in 21 million, though.

BTC is nothing more than one of the several nominations that we have. If we're talking about units, then it's better to say that the supply is limited to just under 2,100,000,000,000,000 units aka satoshi's. From there it's pointless to focus on reaching 21 BTC since it's nothing more than information being displayed at GUI level for the sake of easiness. You can switch to mBTC or uBTC whenever you want to change the 'unit' quantity.

21 bitcoin is nominal that's still affordable for now although I haven't reached the nominal amount, especially if the issue of bitcoin unlimited really dominated the market will happen actually be more affordable. I hope in future, wallet security will be improved because it will be a lot of gaps and spam fighting to rob our bitcoin.

No, I'm not a member of the Millionaire club but its cool to hear that if you are part of it, isn't? but I do believed I'm close to that position ;)
but for now need to work hard to achieve my goals of earnings this year 2017 ;)

21 Bitcoin don't make you a Millionaire. You mean the 1 Million club...very different from being a Millionaire. Your confusing quantity with wealth. Anyone with 21 coins has a bit over $21,000...which won't get you far in a Millionaire's world.

Maybe just a membership card in this club costs 21 bitcoins.
I would not agree to pay such money for the sake of this status))))

I do not own 21BTC and I do not dream to be part of the one million club. Anyway, they are not one million anymore because I saw some address who owns 40K bitcoins. Maybe it will be just a one hundred thousand club only.

That's a great goal, but very hard for most people now that the price is so high. I would settle for just 10 Bitcoins.

Even to have 10 btc in wallet is a big deal nowadays and most of the users would be struggling even to have 1 btc in their wallet especially those who are busy in earning bitcoins and for me even to reach at 10 btc will take a really long time.

I remember reformatting a hard drive with at least 30 bitcoin.  maybe more.  Back in those days bitcoin was almost worthless.  I live paycheck to paycheck, in debt up to my eyeballs and kids.  30+ bitcoin would change my life.   Not a day goes by since Nov 2013 I don't think about it.  I still have wallet addresses I can look up with thousands of dollars. 

That's why I'm so sour about bitcoin today.  nobody helps anyone...it's just greed stacked on greed on top of greed.

Yes, i'm part of the club, i will stay that for a very long time.

Yes, the key for success is indeed in accumulation, even if you earn 2 bitcoins a day but spend them on anything you like when you see you'll never be able to save for the happy hours (referring to the times when price per bitcoin is well above $5000).
I also own some altcoins as well not the pure scam ones but the ones with future.

No I am not yet part of the Millionaire club and I am too short of reaching there and even I am not sure whether in future I would be able to achieve that milestone or not and as of now I have only 2 btc but I am really satisfied with the amount that I am holding.

It's not late to start over.

a week! mining took too long :)
21BTC was 4.2 claims of a faucet. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=183.0)
i don't know how long the time frame between claims was but it shouldn't have taken more than a half day to get up to 21BTC

edit: it was 5 bitcoins per IP address, so with a dynamic IP or with VPN it could take less than 5 minutes ;D

yeah i'm also in the club, not that hard with current profit from altcoin


you mean few hours, in few days, in the past you could make 1000 btc i remember, with just the cpu, and with the advent of gpu it was still very easy to earlymine tons of block

but many other have still mroe than 21, not because they earlymined them but because of altcoin, which still deliver a good amount even today if you are lucky...

I didn't know there were faucets back in 2010.

Yeah, those days Bitcoin was worthless + useless that any normally rational person would not even want to waste his time in.
I bet if we have a time machine to take us back to 2010, we still wouldn't bother with it if we have our memory erased.

I'm almost a member of this club of Millionaires.
I have to collect 20, 4167 bitcoins.
It remains a little, I can do it !!!   ;D

You're talking about the founding miners, the CPU miners. There's only a handful of them. I mean old time miners before ASICs, the gpu miners. I started mining with deepbit just after they opened, with multiple machines, and still couldn't get 21 coins in a day. A couple of days minimum and that's IF luck was working in favor of your pool. If current luck was against your pool it could take a week to get that many coins. I didn't start raking in that kind of coin until I had 40 HD5970s working in my garage. I don't think a lot of people were doing what I did.

Right now,  I could only wish I started this earlier. I could even have more than 21 BTC if I did. But now, it is way too hard to earn even just a bitcoin what more 21 of them.

Well, I pretty admit I am not a part of this club since I was not an early adapter. And 2015-16 users of Bitcoin will never able to earn 21 bitcoin in one or two years.
Well, from other eye if we see increase in value of Bitcoin, we can say soon we all will be in Millionaire club, millionaire in sense of Bitcoin value in dollars!! :D

I wish we could actually see real distribution on the blockchain, but unfortunately it is designed to obscure the data. I would like to really know how many coins are owned by a small amount of early adopters.

This is probably the best that I know of ---> https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html (https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html)

Bump!

Unfortunately, I  am not one of 1 million persons that own all Bitcoin. But i always seeking for getting more bitcoin. Also i dreamed for only 1 bitcoin for now because i never own it from the day i joined bitcoin community. It's hard to getting bitcoin for begginers, we should get more skills and knowledge, for exemple like trading to reach our goals.

I don't think it will come to that. This currency keeps on changing hands. People will buy and sell and now with the hard folk looming it's actually dangerous to keep all money in Bitcoins and what if it suddenly crashes. With all alt coins taking upwards ride, it's not smart to go all in btc. And no holding 21 coins won't make you a milliner. I don't see this happening.

Based on the polls numbers, it seems the forum can still boast of few millionaires that might have existed but in my own case, I am not anywhere close to own 1 bitcoin not to talk of having 21 which is quite a lot from my position but hopefully I can get to reach there one day then I will come back and cast another vote contrary to the one I just did...

According to the votes, there are some millionaires in the forum. I'm not a millionaire yet in holding 21 Bitcoin, but hopefully in the future I'll be one.
I wonder what will these millionaires do or become if the value of Bitcoin crashes when HARDFORK happens.. well, to one knows for sure but I would like to hear from a millionaire.

Yeah, let's bump this up, babies.

Have things changed?

unfortunately I am not in it, it still a long way to reach 21 BTC, I often spend the BTC I owned because I need the coin for my daily basis, and because I think it is better to split my investment, so I sometimes exchange bitcoin and used it for buying gold, I know bitcoin is a great investment but for future and  long investment I saved in gold, so I don't think I will near that 21 BTC

Unfortunately I'm not part of this club and its very likely that I will not be, at least not in the near future. I don't earn that much Bitcoins and also don't have enough funds to invest to,achieve some more significant profit so 21 Bitcoins is out of my reach. But at today's price anyone who has a half of this amount is very lucky and rich enough.

I read somewhere a few weeks ago, based on the balance of all the addresses at that time, and assuming 1 address belongs to 1 owner (not multiple owners like exchanges or online wallet), there are only less that 200k (Max) people owning 21 BTC.

I am not a member but working toward the 10 millionaire club (which is 2.1BTC ownership)....

Or Declare Incorporation as a registered corporation and Bitcoin Business if you have mining units perhaps have a small share structure and a few shareholders and partners mine to high heaven and in Five Years just say you converted your Bitcoin assets into the fiat system and this is what they gave me with a troll face  ;D

Just for my amusement if RNG is lucky and if Ether built enough contracts on its platform for 0.05 an ether today a possibility of parity of 1:1 could happen three to five years from now hence a 1 BTC bet could put someone damn close to the one in a million at that time.
(But that is more of a speculation topic post)

I'm more newbie compared to you because I was new to bitcoin at the end of last year, I think people who continue consistently from the beginning of bitcoin are growing, they've pocketed dozens or even hundreds of bitcoins at the moment, I chose to try to collect more bitcoin than envy and Continue to compare themselves with this club.

A bit of a misleading thread title because you're asking if we're in the One Million club, not if we're millionaires. 21 BTC is not even 40,000 dollars at its highest price yet.

Now if there were a satoshi millionaire club then I can proudly tell you I reached membership in just over a month since installing my first wallet.

In fact, I have over 10 million satoshi right now.

Millionaires club only on the number of people who do possess 21 bitcoins but there are people who do own even more that's why it wont really be partitioned enough to make 1 million user who do have 21 bitcoins each and if we are talking about the current price 21 btc isn't worth on millions that's there no connection or use on becoming included on the millionaires club.

You can join the millionaires club or the group of people that are millionaires of bitcoi, how? Just keep saving and accumulating bitcoins and don't waste or even spend it because i believe that soon after a few years, bitcoin price can reach up to 10,000 USD price per each so that is a good way to be rich if you just save and collect bitcoin as much as you can, now.

I'm one in 21 milions 8)

Those people who have seen bitcoin and its potential years ago (early adopters) are more likely millionaires by now. They got lucky on finding bitcoin as a source and earn it (mining) and then investing it in long term. We admire them for that. But its not to late to save bitcoin and be a millionaire also, we can start saving little by little then probably in 3 or more years we can achieved and become millionaires as well.

Not quite there yet but I'm hopeful if realizing this dream in less than a year. I'm going to start allocating part of my income into procuring bitcoins every month from the black markets. There are plans in place to intensify my freelance jobs so I can earn more than I'm currently earning.

I was lucky enough to get into the bitcoin phase back when it was selling for $200 a pop. Luckily I didn't have them sitting on mtgox or else I wouldn't have as much as I do today.  ;)

i dont have 21 BTC exactly but i'm quite near to to that with 18 BTC

Hehehehe...You have 18btc and you are a Newbie here? On a forum that has been in existence for years and the biggest on cryptocurrency discussion? I seriously doubt you do have that number of Bitcoin sitting in your possession. By the way, "Those who have act like they don't have." Does that expression mean anything to you?

21 BTC is a lot. Currently I dont posses that much but I do have assets which goes to around that number but not further. Hopefully I will make it soon!
