Title: In your estimate, how many people there are with over 50 BTC holdings? Post by: Gordonium on November 13, 2013, 02:02:34 PM Off course theoretically there can never be more than about 500 000 people with 50 BTC but real number of course will be much more lower because there are huge whales with lot more and all the lost coins (and unmined coins at the moment.)

There are 12k keys with more than 100 BTC, and 97k with more than 10 BTC.. So somewhere in the middle maybe? 30-60k? Title: Re: In your estimate, how many people there are with over 50 BTC holdings?

So somewhere in the middle maybe? 30-60k? Those are keys, not people. I know. But is there any more accurate way to estimate this at all?

So somewhere in the middle maybe? 30-60k? There are 38588 = exactly 50 keys and 58380 keys >= 50 (including the exactly 50 ones). Most of the exactly 50 ones are unspent coinbases that probably belong to satoshi.. so most likely less than the difference so <20k, imo. The sum of all keys >= 50 BTC is 10722974 BTC or 89.4% of all BTC that currently exist. Title: Re: In your estimate, how many people there are with over 50 BTC holdings?

Most evidence suggests that bitcoin wealth can be approximated using a Pareto distribution [e.g., the top 20% hold 80% of the wealth, and the top 20% of the top 20% hold 80% of the 80%...all the way up to Satoshi]. Of course, the exact distribution can never be know. Please take a look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316297 |
