Title: The "Vladimir Club"
Post by: calian on August 03, 2012, 02:13:12 AM
So how many are aspiring to join this exclusive group? How many are already in it? Vladimir has stated that he thinks BTC2100 coins is a good number to acquire going forward. That's 1% of 1% of all the coins ever. It means the maximum number of members of this club would be 10,000 if it were formed 125 years from now and all the coins were divided equally. Right now it's not even half that.

Unless we get a freak dip into the pennies I'm probably way too late on the scene to make it into those ranks. However I'll keep dollar cost averaging until things get too rich for my taste (a long ways from the $10.65 it is right now).

A few members of the club I would suspect:

Satoshi (maybe x10 or x100)
pirate
knightmb
zhoutong?
Gavin

Who else? Obviously the entire bitcoin rich list is there. If enough committed to join the club and not sell until coins top $1,000,000 that would make a lot of new billionaires. And Forbes already tracks the bitcoin rich list so it would be no big deal to merge it with the Forbes 400. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/06/22/the-bitcoin-richest-accumulating-large-balances/

So how many members of this group do you think exist?

There's already a 25k club that is invite only with proof of holdings (BTC&TCCCPPT not counted), and a "century club" has been discussed.

I don't know how many are eligible for the latter but I know there are about 1-2 dozen in the first.

By "century club" are you talking about BTC100,000+? Like the ArtForz's of Bitcoin? So any clue if allinvain's thief joined the 25k club? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=16457.0

Im pretty sure memorydealer's coins are mixed up with my coins from bitcoinica unless he had a lot more before that.  I feel pretty bad for him, I believe he lost thousands of coins compared to my couple hundred.  I'd take those coins back any day now....

If he has 10,000 invite him to the forums, he could be helping build the community, but something tells me this is kinda like, I know a guy, who knows a guy, who was in prison with a guy, who was married to a guy's sister LMAO

proof?

protip: only coins in an address which has never spent coins (thereby revealing its public key) can be irreversibly lost. The rest of the coins (those in addresses whose public keys have been revealed) will be trivially claimed by the first Quantum Computers.

Assuming QC "suddenly" appears, and ECDSA is instantaneously crackable using Shor's algorithm, and SHA256/RIPEMD160 become vulnerable to Grover's algorithm:
  • Every unspent coin, sent to an address whose pubkey is not yet revealed, is somewhat safe (80 bit security left, instead of 160 bit)
  • The block chain is quite safe (128 bit security left, instead of 256 bit)
  • Transactions to new quantum-computing-based addresses with corresponding keys, are safe
  • ... only unspent coins sent to reused addresses will be trivially claimable by any attacker (a few bits of security left, instead of 128 bit)

Owner of such computer would give a shit about wether the keys are lost or not... he'd just go search for the privkeys of the highest-valued addresses regardless of wether or not someone else already knows that key.

Right, the highest-valued addresses which have already spent coins (revealed their pubkeys).

Nah, by the time quantum computers of needed complexity appear on the horizon encryption would be adjusted and coins in circulation would be easily protected. However, i don't know what happens to old (lost) coins? If they would still be retrievable, just imagine what a nice ever-growing bounty bitcoin would become, for the good of all mankind!

surely can't be more than 10000.

Another guesstimation I just did puts the upper bound at ~611 members conservatively: satoshi: 1 million, 2 guys 500k, 4 guys: 250k, 8 guys: 125k and so on.

Hey, I know its irrational. Generally speaking, people prefer being relatively wealthy compared to absolutely wealthy. There's a psychology experiment that shows that people would rather be in the position of earning $50k when those around them earn $30k compared to earning $60k when those around them earn $80k.

The more the wealth is concentrated, the more people I am relatively wealthier than. It's not a pleasant thought, it's not a worthy thought, but it is sometimes there, all the same.

Edit: And I'm not the only one who has had unworthy thoughts about his position on a rich list  ;)

I'll keep dollar cost averaging until things get too rich for my taste (a long ways from the $10.65 it is right now).

If you bought into the club at the time of the OP's post, it would cost you $22,365.  Those coins would have a value, today, of approximately* $256,410. 

Net gain of $234,045.  Not a bad return for the time involved.





*As selling 2100 bitcoin at once would drop the value a little.

Well I have had other real world businesses that paid off my mortgage and bought me some rentals.  I also have the bots you see in my signature.  Bitcoin is a hobby project - I hoped to make a daytrading bot.  The fact that I suck at timing the market has put a blight on the project but I'm still keen on getting it to work.

Jeez, you had to rub it in didn't you. Please don't bump this if BTC hits $476.19...

I've given up on ever joining the club. But maybe someday there will be a flaw in the crypto and we can mint all the BTC we want.

protip: only coins in an address which has never spent coins (thereby revealing its public key) can be irreversibly lost. The rest of the coins (those in addresses whose public keys have been revealed) will be trivially claimed by the first Quantum Computers.

Assuming QC "suddenly" appears, and ECDSA is instantaneously crackable using Shor's algorithm, and SHA256/RIPEMD160 become vulnerable to Grover's algorithm:
  • Every unspent coin, sent to an address whose pubkey is not yet revealed, is somewhat safe (80 bit security left, instead of 160 bit)
  • The block chain is quite safe (128 bit security left, instead of 256 bit)
  • Transactions to new quantum-computing-based addresses with corresponding keys, are safe
  • ... only unspent coins sent to reused addresses will be trivially claimable by any attacker (a few bits of security left, instead of 128 bit)

Looks like QC suddenly appeard http://www.dwavesys.com/en/products-services.html

Nah.

His sig points to this explanation. I cannot be bothered posting on this forum either, hence the brief hiatus. Too many stay-at-homes on this forum trying their hand at speculating only to get it wrong time after time. Used to be quite an intelligent forum here.

Another thing, did Vladimir ever spell his name "Vlad1m1r"? Didn't know if it was the same Vla1m1r or not, then I read about the Ponzi scheme and everything falls neatly into place. Vlad, if you're reading this, maybe you should have stood up for yourself more about this issue than taking shit from people. You took a punt, lost, admit and move on.

For the record, I hope you did really take Tunbear's money. I always hated that fucking prick. (Glad Homeland did something useful for a change and took the market down.)

True, but if bitcoin goes 100K a coin in the future if it becomes a global success, those guys will probably be trillonaires or something. Im sure there are people out there holding ridiculous amounts of BTC from the early days. It could lead to a single person having more purchasing power in the history of makind.


Title: Re: The "Vladimir Club"
Post by: futureofbitcoin on March 17, 2015, 04:32:42 PM
1,000,000,000,000/100,000=10,000,000

so none of them will be trillionaires at that price. If bitcoin goes to 1m each, satoshi might become a trillionaire if he has 1m coins like rumoured.


That said, it shouldn't be that surprising, since there was an estimate that there would be 10 trillionaires by 2060 or something.

300 to 500 is my guess.

There's 712 addresses with 2000 or more bitcoin currently.  549 of these have 2100 or more.

The majority of bitcoin users aren't storing all their coins on one address, but it's also safe to say that many of these addresses are owned by single individuals (Draper, Winkelvoss twins etc).

My random guess is about 400 different groups/individuals. As bitcoin begins to move towards $1000 again, there is going to be a massive psychological barrier for members of this club that have held that amount during prior bubbles. I think in the short term this group will grow smaller before it expands as members sell their coins off to large groups of individuals investing in bitcoin for the first time.

With every bubble people may be very willing to liquidate at least some amount of those coins in order to be 'safe' not to have lost the opportunity to at least keep some of that wealth.
