Bitcoin Forum

As of Jan. 14 we already have 784,000address that owns 1 bitcoin or more. The number is already had an 11% increase from 707,000 that is recorded a year ago. In 2015 has more than doubled. Most of the address came from exchanges and big player "whales" that usually hold a big amount of bitcoin.


For me, this is great news since bitcoin is influencing a lot of users, as the number increases meaning the community is already getting bigger surely when a lot of people invested in bitcoin it could easily increases the market price of the bitcoin because of the supply and demand thing.

In my experience, it is not easy to earn 1 bitcoin so I think most of them are investors.

What is your opinion about this? How does it affect bitcoin?

---

This is sign of holding which is good for the bitcoin price I think. The more 1 bitcoin holder increase, it will create scare and the price will be higher because we have limited bitcoin all time.

I really don't know why people always try to relate bitcoin with earn. Is it because the forum has a good earning system?

We are discussing in forum that incentivize each post of user with a penny rate so its usual as a forum member to relate it always with earnings here.

---

I rather want to see that there is no single wallet holding greater or equal to1BTC so that we can say that we are really approaching mass adoption which the BTC main objective.

Well seeing no single wallet exceeding 1 bitcoin is impossible since there are tons of whales that hold thousands if not hundreds of bitcoin.

It is indeed not easy to earn 1 bitcoin if you are not willing to invest some money in and you want all free money from bitcoin especially if you will be dependant on faucets and some sites that giveaway bitcoin. But being an investor specially a big one 1 bitcoin will just a piece of cake to you.

It is subtle word of saying to "acquire". Bitcoin indeed is valuable digital currency and owning a bit of it out of 18.16 million circulating supply (CMC stat) is a huge achievement concerning that it could go higher value if demands really that huge.

Thanks OP for this information. It's indeed a good news that many still believe in Bitcoin at all in spite of its volatility.

I think its a good sign and as long as new people are coming into the crypto community. If there is a world where we can imagine of no one having more than 10 BTC then we may say that we have achieved a mass adoption and then we will see the age of Buy/sell through Bitcoin. We need more people into this right now and volume is increasing which is again a great sign near to the halving.

Agreed, I've always said that the market will determine bitcoin's real utility - as a currency or as an investment. It feels like bitcoin's best use is still as an investment. And this is fine, especially since there are so many other cryptocurrencies that could serve as a currency, best use for transaction due to its stable and modest value.

To the OP, statistics that you've cited are challenging to infer specific influences or conclusions from, particularly because it's so easy to create a bitcoin wallet, by anyone! So the increase in BTC wallets with at least 1 BTC could simply be an indication that "whales" are spreading their wealth around among multiple wallets so if any one wallet gets compromised they won't lose as much coin.

This could also mean that in the last 5 years it's been possible for people to acquire more Bitcoin...a good, but not alarming statistic at only 11% annually (or in the last year).

Listen, they're all positive signs...just tough to declare a single conclusion.

Well its tough, but if you are a smart investor, this is going to be easy, even casual or average joe's like us can earn 1 BTC. The problem is that many newbie investors think that it is hard because they are thinking of putting all their money just to get in that 1 in 21 club. You can simply invest .01 BTC per month and in 10 months you can save/invest 1 full BTC already. Of course it will definitely have a impact on the price later, as demand will be scarce that will eventually push the price, maybe a new all time high in the next 2-3 years.

It is a still a low number.

That just means millions of bitcoin is still being hoarded by a small group.
We really need to take it out from them.
It must really be divided to many so that there will no thoughts of manipulation.

We all know there is that thought with the mass about that. They don't want to get in because they still think someone is still behind all of this.

This stat isn't really that useful, as an address with one Bitcoin doesn't mean that it's owned by one person, and vice versa. I have more than 1 BTC, but I never had one or more BTC in one address - I consolidate my funds, but not too much, since it's bad for privacy and doesn't make my save on fees past certain point, as I don't plan to send such huge amounts in one transaction.

Maybe these addresses with > 1 BTC are just a result of consolidation done by exchanges or hodlers, I don't doubt that the number of Bitcoin owners is growing, but this is a poor way to determine by how much it has increased.

For early adopters it was easy to get more than 1 bitcoin doing small work or giving service for bitcoin. There were many bounty hunters who have promoted ICO during crypto boom and have made more than a bitcoin for free.

Most of the early investors and developers still have massive bitcoin holdings which is not good for mass adoption and price growth.

Owning one bitcoin might seems really exciting but if you are small investor you will always have a fear of lossing too much during massive dump and if you try to time the market you will end up lossing more.

Yes, that is good, meaning there has been an increase from previous years. In the future, there will be potentially even more demanding of bitcoin, which means that the more users there are, the stronger it will be to survive the long term. For now getting 1 bitcoin is not easy, unless you have enough funds to buy it. But the thing to remember is do not ever expect to get 1 bitcoin here in an instant way.

We are still very far away from mass adoption and these figures who owes one or more Bitcoin don't mean anything.
If you look the overall number of population and percentage of them that is using Bitcoin this is a such a small number. Estimations go around 2 millions people in the world, that is actually the figure that is not worth mentioning in the context of mass adoption.

If you are a bounty hunter, it is obviously very difficult to get 1 Bitcoin, but that does not apply to people who have played bounty in 2015 until 2017 during that time they easily collect 1 BTC from each project, when compared to this year it is very difficult to get 1 BTC is free and you have to buy it if you want to hold it of course with expensive fees because of the high price, the increase of bitcoin holders doesn't mean to show numbers on adoption, but from here we also see that investors don't want to die with their wealth in bitcoin so they will continue invest in bitcoin and keep buying it until the price is high

That's right, it's not feasible yet and we must remember that bitcoin is a world currency and that uses the whole world and still requires a very large amount to be adopted and that is only the growth of users or bitcoin owners who are still in small amounts.
and if there are only around 2 million people in the world, and when compared to the number of people in the whole world it is very far away.

The crypto market is based on this volatility, because the profit comes from the volatility of the crypto currency. It is precisely the volatility of the BTC that makes people invest, because they expect earnings.
Why do BTC people associate with winning? Maybe because that's the main purpose of an investment, to make a profit.

With the passage of time and as we approach the halving, the bitcoin price will continue to increase. Only the time will tell that near or after the halving you might say that it is not even easy to earn 0.1 Bitcoin due to the increase in the price. People are holding and preparing for the next bull market run soon after the halving.

You will see many people who will own more than 1 bitcoin when the bull run is coming because at that time, many people will make a lot of money in bitcoin, and that means the number for people who own 1 bitcoin will be changed. I think that happened before in 2017-2018 because, in that year, many of us can make a big number of bitcoin, and they sell their bitcoin in fiat money. After that, they are waiting for the last year when the price is drop down too far to buy a huge bitcoin number at a low price.

So far as news about bitcoin keeps on hitting the main stream and the entire world this trend is likely going to increase as people use bitcoin as a store of value. I used to hold quite a number of coins back in the days but i had to sell and use the funds to help some family emergencies that cropped up some years ago. since then i have never been able to purchase a whole bitcoin because it's quite expensive now. Got my buy order at $5K, hopefully i can get to own one when it reaches this level again.

that's a good sign, bitcoin will be stronger if more people hold it than it is controlled by a handful of people, in my opinion getting 1 btc is not too difficult for those who have skills, I am sure in this forum many people can get btc easily, the difficult thing is to hold it for a long time.

it depends on the person’s use of bitcoin, for example:

If people want to use bitcoin as a currency to make payments for goods and services these people will not be worried about owning 1 bitcoin, but people who are focused on Hold are very concerned about having too many bitcoins to hold for a long time.


I constantly wonder if everyone in the world buys 1 bitcoin and hold for many years what would the market be like? is that a good idea? or the best option is to actually start using bitcoin to buy goods and services?

it may be true that investors buy some bitcoins in preparation for the half-day waiting period, as everyone and investors strongly believe that by reducing the half they will have a huge profit if bitcoin prices rise at that time. with more bitcoin enthusiasts, then I hope bitcoin prices will go up as well.

Well, the sad part here is that these investors do not want to use bitcoin, they just want it to be saved so they can earn a good profit in the future. If those people want to buy bitcoin because they want to use it, that would be the case when the price will quickly rise. Right now, they just save it, hold it in their wallets so they can earn profit in the long run.

It’s good to have Bitcoins spread out to more people rather than a few that are hoarding all the Bitcoins. However it is difficult to know how many people those accounts belong to. Some people may have multiple addresses with Bitcoins in them.

That's really good news to hear that people who own 1 bitcoin in their address are increased. It means that the community is getting bigger by time and maybe we'll see more people own more than 1 bitcoin by the end of this year, which it's sure. I hope that bitcoin's price will increase as well and we'll have more profit for this year. It's really good stats OP, keep enlighten us with good news.

Optimist I will have above 30 bitcoin in my wallet as my investment assets at the future because bitcoin become the best solution way for investing, with many people have own 1 bitcoin each their address I can follow their way by have many bitcoin in my address in the next time, not impossible for me raise more than 20 bitcoin at this year.

Most of them are investor and  I will agree with you, but I just thinking that there is some user especially the user of this forum who had know bitcoin before 2015 ago then I think they are collected as much as bitcoin at that time and hold them until now. Even, most people who have a lot of bitcoin right now are the user of this forum as well.

Since only this forum which still active and being used as a place to give a knowledge about bitcoin by bitcoin user. Don't you thinking, if you see the tittle of this forum namely 'donator' they will have a lot of bitcoin on their wallet. To get the tittle donator you should give 50 BTC for this forum and how can you imagine they just give 50BTC for this forum?

Well, I did not have doubt on this near in the future the demand will increase because of continues accumulating of bitcoin. Probably some rich people trying to be whales on crypto because they know that it is easy money as long you have a capital to play the crypto market, a sort of gambling that has a high risk. Indeed, they are not all investors, probably some of them have come from crypto exchanges that hold massive amount for their traders. But if I have 1 bitcoin I will not let sitting down on exchange because I know that they are not capable of holding our crypto asset.

It implies small investors are collecting and holding bitcoin as an investment for a long term. This is a much good news for the price of bitcoin as the more distributed it is, the less would the whales be able to manipulate it. And with the fragmentation of funds, lower volume hits the exchanges on low price.

i agree its really a good news because the supply is starting to be divided in a small amount
this is really a sign that many new investors start to own and hold bitcoin in their own wallet

It means that we are in the right path, and we are still positive that we are still doing great things for Bitcoin, that despite what happened from the past still it is constantly increasing in demand, it means that the value of it and mass adoption is positive, so it's all worth it in the end, hope it will continue until the end of the year.

The less people owns one Bitcoin, the better for btc price. When BTC gets to $100,000. The number will reduce

This is a good thing if there is an increase in the use of bitcoin. Moreover, the bitcoin address with a lot of btc. This shows more and more interest in investing in Bitcoin. The public is aware that bitcoin can be used as a crypto business that can provide profits. Maybe because this year there will be halving bitcoin, so there is more demand so that the price of bitcoin goes up.

There are 784000 right now and I am sure many more will join this club in days to come. Increasing number of 1 bitcoin holders mean that people have started taking crypto seriously. Apart from increasing liquidity this will also help in reducing bitcoin price volatility.

It is clearly a good sign since the community of bitcoin is already increasing because of this number but isn't 11 percent is just too small for a year improvement I understand that it is not easy to acquire 1 bitcoin but still this means that there are only a few people that are serious in this kind of investment in cryptocurrency. But I think it is better than a decrease in number at least this could still affect a lot in the market for sure this is good news since we have an increasing number of investors in bitcoin.

As this percentage increases yearly I think we could easily assume that bitcoin market price is going to pump in the coming years, this is a good sign so far. For sure in the coming years, this number could increase up to 30-40 percent since it is becoming easier to spread information using technology.

There will always wallet holding more than BTC1, for example; addresses that belong to satoshi or exchange's wallet.
Probably in 20 years later, fewer people hold more than BTC1 and more people adopt bitcoin, but I can't say bitcoin will ever be the main objective.

Consider that people can own more than one address. Consider that is actually a very good practice, and has been recommended since the beginning to never reuse addresses, and also consider a whale might actually want to not look as such by splitting their funds (and maybe to better protect themselves).

The point is, number of addresses does not equate number of people. Whales can hide among fish by owning several addresses. Also I'm not sure about exchanges or mixers but they probably do something similar.

It is possible that the amount of people owning bitcoin has increased, but probably not in the same amount, ie. not 11%. If i had 100 bitcoin in an address, and decide to split it into 100 addresses, are there 99 more people owning 1 bitcoin? No.

Oh and those taxing rumors, that probably also stimulates people to spread their coins around, just saying...

Agree since the number is increasing I think we could assume that bitcoin is going to increases its market price in the future.

I think a lot of people is going to agree that the percent is going to increase in the coming years for sure this 11 % percentage is going to increases because of the bitcoin influence to a lot of countries for sure a lot of people is going to invests their money here in cryptocurrency as the demand increases because of the market price increase of bitcoin surely it is going to attract a lot of more investors.

This is pretty surprising actually.

You might expect there to be fewer whole BTC owners when BTC is worth a lot, and more when BTC crashes.

However, if you look at the charts for the last 1 year, Bitcoin is actually worth 250% more than it was this time last year.

This means that as a whole, the total value the sums held by whole BTC owners increased by the same amount over this time period.

I wonder if this growth will continue even if BTC hits $80k+?

the price of btc is not continue increasing but it drops hard   again sometimes.  thats the reason why the number of owns big amount of bitcoins are still growing even if we are now advancing thru the years  . the growth can continue but we must be happy for it because that only means that there are still people who have faith in hodling thier btc  . that also means that the potential of price increase for btc is big

I don't think this means more people is holding 1 bitcoin... The same guy can hold different bitcoin addys with more than 1 btc, and that's a good security practice. Maybe there is more people holding 1 btc, but not as many as the graph shows.

I'm sure the statistics will increase in the next several months especially this year will happened halving for bitcoin so probably everybody expect to bull run which is most of people will attempts to buy more bitcoin and hold until halving date but i appreciate to those who have 1 btc and decide to hold it and not to sell their bitcoin because lately it's hard to earn 1 btc unless you're the traders with huge amount of money as your capital

Increase in the number of people owning one bitcoin or more shows the interest of people towards bitcoin holding. Each and everyone who has been holding bitcoin have known about the real market growth of bitcoin. Rather than saving or investing try to hold bitcoin or trading has provided with the increased chances of profiting. Hope the number keeps growing over the years as calculated by Op.

It increase because the number of people who are into crypto also increase.
And I also agree that most of them are investor it would be really hard to own 1 BTC just from working and saving it.
But we could also say that there are some of them who manage to gain 1 BTC from trading.

thats a great number of increase for just 10 years imagine we have 6 digits of people having 1 or more bitcoin?

but i wanna ask is there a data of how many people has atleast 0.005 bitcoin to 0.99btc?i am just wondering how many people now are accumulating Bitcoin little by little?i am also interested because i have some friends who has this small amlunt as they are newly entered this market so it will be great for them to hear how many of them are the same.

This is a good indications that people have and hold btc at this stage. Good to see the number of who owns bitcoin is increasing so for sure these days some people will accumulate btc with this halving to happen in a few months time. I think the growth for btc will continue and adoption will increase also.

From time to time, most of the investors are targeting to achieve exactly 1 BTC or more but this isn't just an indication of increasing market adoption, because for me, this is an indication that most of the people prefers to have 1BTC as an investment rather than a currency that they could use in their daily lives. I find cryptocurrency such as bitcoin more beneficial if it becomes a digital currency rather than investment for people. Because it is not just investors that will enter the market, but ordinary people that is considerably more than investors, this means, better market price and value of bitcoin in the future.

Does not matter who is holding how much or in many addresses by single or multiple people. As long as people are holding bitcoins and not selling them, the price of bitcoin will become higher and higher. However, the bitcoin gone to 9200$ and started to dump again. I think that holders are not so confident that bitcoin can break out resistances.

Maybe everyone in this forum, has more than 1 or 2 BTC, it can even be more than I said, because I know that all of you have a pretty good income on this forum, without you being in a large market even though it's already get enough profit ..

Well a whale could have several full btcs with different addresses for each one of them. You're right, it's likely that most of these holders are investors who knows all to well to spread their assets in case something goes awry. It's not easy for regular people like us to commit 8k usd and covert it to bitcoins. And in this forum, it'll take a long time to earn even half a btc.

It is not hard for those who have skills but also who have enough money to treat as their capital on investing or trading.
In this forum, there are actually some people, but most likely not the majority. Holding it for a long time is really difficult, but if you know what you are doing, this will become easy and you will use your holdings as your capital to make money out of it.

Do not live in the delusion, although there are signatures and bounty campaigns, and some other ways to earn BTC such as various services and buying/selling digital products, you should know that a good part of the forum users converts their BTC to fiat for daily living needs. Of course, there are those who are real holders, and I think a lot of them have at least 1 BTC.

However, the number of addresses containing more than 1 BTC cannot be a valid reason to claim that the number of individual owners is increasing. One person who has 1000 BTC can have 1000 addresses and on every 1 BTC. However, anyone living in a somewhat more developed country in the world could make a plan and buy BTC in smaller amounts during a relatively low price period ($3000 - 2018), and with $250 per month, he would become the owner of 1 BTC.

I guess a lot of people are now buying and storing bitcoins in their wallet and that’s why the number addresses with such an amount is increasing and price increasing as well. I don’t have up to that amount yet, I have been buying slowly and almost close to one bitcoin, I don’t even think I can risk more than that amount as it is now.

Sometimes I buy a bit of coins and store in my wallet and that’s how I plan to be doing it. Whenever I get money I divide them into three or more, one share goes to my savings, the other for spending and the remaining goes to Bitcoin.

It doesn't really effect that much to Bitcoin, OP.
It is the same question as how do we affect the price of Bitcoin while hodling any amount. It is surely all about the demand and supply most of the time.
It is gonna be expected like usual for the price to increase, and due to globalize access to Bitcoin to most of the countries, it causes instability to the price.

I was holding mote then a bitcoin at one point. I had to sell it though since I was being paid in bitcoin and needed money for things. I sold at the begining of last year :( I'm very sad about it. I wish I bought tether months earlier. So please diversify guys. Don't be like me.

How come if 784,000 number want hold their assets together without sell until bitcoin back above $16,000, I think if you agree with my opinion I will join with your team together we hold and save bitcoin until price is growing to higher price. Maybe is the best way how to make bitcoin always become popular transaction have higher price.

Might be that one people could own 1 or more bitcoin address but the fact that he has 1 bitcoin or more is already the thing that affects the bitcoin.

I think this is already a great thing for bitcoin as it increases its investors that could potentially increase the market price of bitcoin in the future, for sure it might be alarming if the numbers are decreasing meaning bitcoin is actually decreasing its market, and potentially the market is going down if continue.

This is nice!! I don't really know but I'm sure they are mostly owned by exchange sites. On the other hand, it's really very positive if it's owned by exchanges because it shows that the exchange sites are increasing in number. In summary, bitcoin is getting more popular and we should be happy about that.

 Promote bitcoin; it's for "us"!!!

I think this will have a good impact on bitcoin. with this fact proves that bitcoin enthusiasts are increasing. if bitcoin enthusiasts more and more of course this will make the demand for bitcoin also increase. and if the number of people who own bitcoin is increasing this can reduce the manipulation of bitcoin prices by the whales.

No doubt, Bitcoin’s popularity is a very positive news for all of us. Bitcoin users are increasing and this will increase the further price of it and make the Bitcoin more powerful. Coming to the point of whales their effect will reduce when the number of users will increase as they can manipulate the market because they are among the users having largest number of coins. When the number of users will increase this will make the market and its king “Bitcoin” more stable and secure.

an increase in users means that the volume also rises, therefore many new users have a positive impact. besides that the volume can grow also with the passing of market conditions, so this becomes really important. therefore we must continue to assist in the development of the use of bitcoin by people who still use the traditional transaction system.

The volume won't grow it stops at 21 million and slowly slows down before then. You should know this. This is to make bitcoin more rare. Then when more people adopt it becomes even more are and split up into even more parts. I wonder if one day a single satoshi will have any significant value.  8)

Probably most of the time a lot of whales meant and trying to manipulate the market for a higher price so that they could earn a big amount of profit. For sure it is going to affect the market if they sell a big amount of bitcoin in the market dumping the market price a lot. I think overall this is a good thing helping the bitcoin when it comes to the market price, manipulation in the market price also affects the movement of the bitcoin which is not always a bad thing in the market. But we need to admit that this number or percentage is still a small number.

They are more likely really owned by exchangers sites? Probably yes there are some point that the exchangers are really owns a bitcoin because they are the one that we are exchanging. Those person who are owning a 1 bitcoin yet it is really hard to own a 1 of it because it really have a good and high value that very hard to obtained, so my speculations are those people or person that are holding 1 bitcoin are those investors who has a lot of bitcoin because they intend to buy and invest everyday on bitcoin. Yes bitcoin is going popular and famous nowadays so we really just need to continue to promote it even on the simplest way.

Knowing the fact that there are huge number of people who owns 1 Bitcoin now is quite boosting our mood to accumulate more and be part of the very first people who could achieve bitcoin at low market price. This might be considered as a race that everyone should part take, but to consider if this happens when most of the people will join the race, having 1 BTC will be even harder, thus, I think without people making a big hype about achieving 1 btc, we should take the lead and become those who will accumulate bitcoin as long as it is not too late.

Yeah, good thing crypto is becoming popular but have we thought about it that what if some whales doesn't want to be tracked or look suspicious so that they can manipulate the market. It's very easy to set up a crypto wallet and most people always more than 1 wallet.
No. That's actually wrong because no volume can be made if they decide to hold and not trade. There's always a volume where there's a trade.

Somewhere i've heard that owning just 1 Bitcoin is equivalent to owning something like 5000 acres of land when compared to the finite 21 million coin supply and dividing by the 8 billion people on earth. Crazy!

It is very difficult to make assumptions regarding the data extracted from the wallets. Most of the individuals may be having more than one wallet (I myself have dozens of BTC wallets). Also, some of these wallets may belong to gambling sites, exchanges.etc. I would say that the only reliable information regarding Bitcoin ownership comes from the leaked Mt Gox data. Mt Gox had made KYC mandatory, so we can assume that the data is having a high level of accuracy. BTW, an user of this forum (rpietila) posted some stats a few years back. You can check them here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316297.0

That is something I am thinking as well, even though the statistics were right of the number of wallets that own 1 Bitcoin and more, there is a sure thing that 1 person owned multiple Bitcoin addresses from it, this is for security and personal reasons as well so we can not dig up why they had such enormous number of Bitcoin I also had other 2 Bitcoin Adress but I am currently sticking to one because I don't really have the number of Bitcoin to circulate it in multiple addresses,

Furthermore, this kind of thing is pretty normal back in the days when people are just mining and earning with faucets, and a lot of people that keep forgetting their wallet passphrase or password, but I don't know if multiplying your Bitcoin to a number of wallets can make an impact with its price.

I got my first mBTC sometime in 2012, and ever since that date I have created dozens of Bitcoin wallets. I have/had accounts with dozens of cryptocurrency wallets and they alone should number ~20-25. On top of that, I had created a dozen or so wallets in Blockchain.info, before moving my coins elsewhere. It is hard to calculate, but my guess is that I may have created close to 100 Bitcoin wallets. As of now, I am storing my BTC in around a dozen different wallets (including exchange wallets, online wallets, hardware wallets and paper wallets).

Have you created such a large number of cryptocurrency wallets for security purposes or based on the technical requirements of your assets? Maybe I do not own a very large amount of bitcoin, but I have one hardware wallet, of which I am sure of security.

Somehow, I think that it is true because many of us will not just use one wallet only. I am sure that people will create more than one wallet. We will keep our bitcoin to many wallets, so we don't keep the bitcoin in one wallet. We don't know people who have 1 bitcoin in their wallet because it is difficult to get the real data about who has own 1 bitcoin. We need to count on the wallet on every exchange, and I am sure that the exchanges will have more than a thousand of the user who will have more than one wallet too.

That is quite a lot number of wallets pretty much is really for security purpose but I think there are some people that have forgotten some of that wallets password or passphrase to have that kind of number of wallets, Well the number of wallets was surely necessary to increase not just because the demands are increasing but people are just tending for security by creating multiple accounts, and yes that would include cold storage wallets.


Why not stick to that hardware wallet and stop creating more online wallets, and well just like you, I don't own a large amount of BTC as well and I have created multiple wallets as well but right now I am sticking to one wallet that I think have good security I can trust.

Agree, and no matter where we look at, people tend to relate bitcoin with earn, or more over what this man said to acquire (well both have the same meaning in the end). It is a good thing, imo, that most people are looking forward to reach such not ordinary goal for most of the individuals, as it indicates, how valuable really bitcoin is though. Besides, I bet that you're having the same long term goal, LittleMouse?

No matter what, or whatever it is, the point is, many people or the count of the addresses having 1 bitcoin is a good thing. It may not count to one individual, but the point that it earned 1 bitcoin is a good thing. Anyway, you guys are suspicious huh?

What are you saying! People own more than 1 btc and they are very much alive, so alive that they flip it every time to increase their holdings, i know 1 btc is a lot but is not an impossible thing the way you make it sound,
Mind you, not only long term holders have 1btc, there are people who short their btc all the time, i don't know where you get this idea from, it really is funny if you think this people who own 1btc are dead :D
Maybe all the btc whales are also dead since they own more than 1btc :-X

Update number of addresses who own 1bitcoin+ New ATH:

Interesting to revisit here after a crash

Some people are trying to achieve at least 1 whole BTC in this crash, and I'm included, I'll not reach 1 BTC very soon, but I'm trying and today was a great day to buy
The idea of having a entire BTC is awesome, let's see if the market goes down again, you'll se that this number of people will grow again

It will be lot more easier for many who always want to own 1 btc to do so with this recent crash, am not surprise to to see the numbers increasing on the chart, crash like this always bring a golden opportunity for those who knows how to take advantage,
The is painful but it seem necessary to readjust the price, we can already see how the chart keep increasing in number of wallet that owns 1btc, more people are buying btc for long term no doubt.

There are a lot of people today are holding a huge amount of the bitcoin because after it increase rapidly from the previous year of 2017 there are a lot of people seeing the potential of this coin to make more profit for the next coming year and some of them today are now collecting a huge amount of bitcoin, today we are facing towards to the future that all of the process today are made through online that we cannot now wait too much longer just to process the thing we need to pass. Also, there are a lot of countries today are now accepting the use of bitcoin as a payment and now not only in the stock market the people also make an investment to the cryptocurrency because it looks like an investment to the other company but the difference is it is a digital currency and you can now pull out your money without any consent to them if you got your profit, also the number of people using bitcoin are increasing and that's the work of halving today to cut the supply of the coins to make it control the supply and demand.

As years pass by, we will be witnessing an increasing amount of wealth distribution with Bitcoin. A few years back, we had only a few million Bitcoin users and out of them a thousand or so were owning more than 50% of all the circulating supply. But they encashed a part of their holdings during the past years and as a result we have more number of users who now hold significant cryptocurrency assets.

I think some people already have 1 bitcoin by buying bitcoin a few days ago, especially when bitcoin price finally getting drop significant. That makes the number of people who own 1 bitcoin will increase. And that will happen many times when bitcoin goes down again and again, and we will see more people will have the opportunity to get 1 bitcoin.

Even if people are not buying 1 bitcoin directly, they can still buy bitcoin from the small amount first, and they keep buying more satoshi when the price is down. Soon, we will see many people will have 1 bitcoin or more because they can be able to purchase bitcoin at a lower price that will always happen in the market.

For sure the crash in the market price of bitcoin in the past days could be the reason why the addresses who own 1 bitcoin or above increases its new all-time high.

The lower the market price of bitcoin the bigger the opportunity to invest in bitcoin and also the higher the profit that could make in the future.

Also, this kind of dump already happened a lot of times in the market of bitcoin so it is not really new to every investor, personally I don't think bitcoin could lose its value since a lot of investors is surely going to take the opportunity to reinvest in bitcoin.

At this time it is very natural to see the numbers of btc holders increasing, the price is very cheap ones again for those who can afford to buy a whole btc to do so, unfortunately I can't afford to buy 1btc to be among the people but I can some part of it now that the price is very low,
This is good opportunity, people should take advantage if they can afford it not be sad, price will go up again.

Yes, sure, and another fact is the people who are buying now, are only people who already have BTC and it's used to, believing in the project no matter what
People with only prices in mind already sold or are selling afraid of lose more money

Speaking of wallets, this is my paperwallet address from bitaddress

Its payme lol! Imagine that!BTC


Edit: I do not expect anyone to solicit this to send btc there... I'm sharing for the glory of it

There are so many people out there who are owning more than 1 BTC in their wallets. It is still a good time to buy more bitcoins because it is bound to increase in future and it will more tough at that time to accumulate a whole bitcoin. Despite of that there are whales who hold hundres of bitcoins and once that comes into the market it will be more tougher for a person to accumulate a whole bitcoin after that. So this is the only good time to buy BTC.
I guess this is the reason why the number of people holding 1 BTC have increased.

This is all very good, but a report in which you could find out the number of people, and not addresses that have 1 BTC, would be as transparent as possible. Because whales can have 20 addresses of 5 BTC each, and this can distort statistics very much.

We have felt it, even if bitcoin fall to $1000 we will stay to support bitcoin and come back to stand. This decreasing price is really different with the previous crash. The privious decrease was caused by some country and many negatives case against bitcoin. But now it will be different, the decreasing price is caused by a corona virus which give an affect as well to another investment. This is pointed out that bitcoin is fine, there is no negative information which can make bitcoin price fall but it is just economic in global.

Yes and I believe as any price drop happens which is caused by big holders divesting, this actually happens for the good in long term and those bitcoins are then gobbled up various small investors and more the participants better the liquidity and stronger the price walls.

I think there are still lots of big holders and once almost all of them have sold their coins that would be a perfect scenario because then the price swings will be minimal since there will be no one who can manipulate the market alone and there will be some trust in bitcoins from big investors too because right now even a few guys can shake the whole market and investors while like price drop/increase but no one wants to see his portfolio going down by 20-30% every week.

At this moment, it is no longer surprising that more people are owning a bitcoin or more because its market value is now much lower compared from its price years ago wherein one would be lucky if he would atleast have one in his wallet. Now that the market price again dipped, this is a good opportunity for you to have your own, to be held for a period of time until the market price again recover and maybe, reach another all time high. It is not required to invest in a sudden to one Bitcoin, but atleast invest an amount if you are really aiming for profit. We are talking about Bitcoin, which have proven itself with its capability to recover from downfall in its market value.

It is excellent information that the development of Bitcoin looks very real. Bitcoin continues to evolve because nowadays many people are interested in the advantages of Bitcoin.

Investors look very easy to get 1 Bitcoin because they have money. So with the money that investors have can buy Bitcoin directly.

However, as a bounty hunter who generates 1 Bitcoin is of course very difficult. In addition, many Bounty projects have failed or cheated.

Update Here:
New ATH Again with a total of 797,123.000 Addresses.
Surprise? Even the market is experiencing a big dump, maybe we could expect a big fall off here but surprisingly not.

If only the number of single addresses would represent actual users of Bitcoin.

The number of total addresses keeps growing and it will continue to grow because this is how BItcoin works. The number of addresses containing 1 bitcoin may also grow but does that mean more people enter the market? Probably not because a single wallet can contain many addresses and 1 user can have many wallets.

Are those addresses a representation of redistribution of wealth. Maybe or maybe not. Some of them probably are because it's natural for old whales to be cashing out. Nobody is going to hold an investment for 10 years without cashing out at least some of the profits.

This is good news for the development of bitcoin, in my opinion to produce 1 bitcoin is not easy for those of us who rely on
income from this forum. It takes a long time if we generate bitcoin from bounties, signature campaigns, faucets, airdrops, etc.
Because 1 bitcoin is a large amount in my opinion, it can be obtained from trading that must be with a large capital. So, the
conclusion only investors who are able to produce bitcoin quickly, the number of people who have 1 bitcoin increases means
that many investors buy bitcoin.

I think this is an honest sign and as long as new people are coming to the crypto network. If this happens most often where we would imagine that there is no 1 BTC then we will say that we have achieved a large allocation but we will see the purchase time through Bitcoin. We need more people in it right now. That's a great goal.  :) :)

I think this is often an honest sign and until new individuals inherit the crypto network. within the event that there's where we'll envision having on the brink of 10 BTC then we will say that we've embraced a standard one and afterward we will see the purchasing/selling age through Bitcoin. we'd like more individuals immediately and therefore the volume is expanding which is again a fantastic sign to urge half.

I had a few bitcoin sold it long ago, Only If I knew it will hit 24k, I would certainly hold, however, there are lots of regrets but that's how trading goes. In the meantime, I know deep down that the bitcoin price will go down and will have the opportunity to have bitcoin in near future. So waiting for the dip to buy again =)

Perhaps we could easily infer the idea that as the number of bitcoin holders "with 1 or more bitcoin in their wallet" - means increased number of people invested in bitcoin. However, if we based the data on coinmarketcap (Bitcoin Analytics: Holding Concentration)

Coinmarketcap: (https://coinmarketcap.com/bitcoin-analytics/)


Clearly, the number showed that more holders were obviously coming from institutions.

According, also on this data from Bitcointreasuries (https://bitcointreasuries.org/) which stated the number of institutions and percentage of bitcoin holdings in their portfolio. In other words, institutions to name few like Grayscale, Block.one, MicroStrategy and etc., are already accumulating.

MOREOVER, this information above showed that although retail investors are flooding the market, 11% increased means that institutions are entering the market. Surely, people investing are not natural person but businesses. The question is, isn`t the best that they are pioneering the market? And my answer is, it depends.

You do not need to regret what we have done before because we still have a chance to make 1 bitcoin. We need to believe that we can do that, and we can try to work hard to make it happen before bitcoin price increase so high. Bitcoin price will go down and up again in the future because that is what will happen to bitcoin. The number of people who own 1 bitcoin will be increased in the next new ATH, and we have that chance to be one of the people who own 1 bitcoin.

^ I am not sure what you are saying, I am probably the unlucky person because it is very difficult to be able to generate 1 Bitcoin while here even though I have participated in many campaigns. very jealous of those who are able to generate 1 Bitcoin from here.

Actually, earning bitcoin when it was 10K dollars is already hard to achieve. I am also envied for those trader who patiently wait bitcoin to pump. There are many campaigns I had joined before but I failed to generate even half bitcoin. If ever I made it, maybe I am a millionaire now in my country. Well, I believe that we have our own time. Maybe, today is not for ours but let us always remember that sun shines every day.

Actually, there are a lot of ways to get a bitcoin from here, not directly but also because there are a lot of investors and traders that share their strategies and systems here in the forum. You can pick a lot from here especially in this times where the bitcoin is so high. From that, you should also conclude that you doesn't just need to earn, you also need to risk some to get higher profit. If that does well for you, you will be able that 1 bitcoin  in the right time.

Since one person can have multiple Bitcoin addresses, and, at the same time, one single address can hold accumulated possessions of many people, I can't imagine how is it possible to estimate the number of Bitcoin holders, let alone to determine the exact number of them. What am I missing here?
