Who has the record for most BTC owned?

Who has the record for most BTC owned?

The most BTC at a single address is owned by the FBI.  However, this is just the most BTC at a single address.  The largest holder of BTC would probably have their holdings spread across many addresses for safety, security and privacy reasons.

Note that the #1 address 1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN455paPH with 144336.40430282 BTC is the BTC confiscated from DPR by the FBI.

Sorry you lost me at if 21M people had 1 BTC each, how do you figure that anyone else would have any BTC's when there can only be 21M BTC's ever? If you start dividing them out then the top 21M people don't have 1BTC each they have less than 1BTC.

0.003 BTC each if bitcoin was evenly distributed to every human on earth

If you already have 100 BTC there will never be more than 210,000 people who have more bitcoins than you.

Think about that for a moment, and then think about how many have been lost forever already.

You should have put it that way when they cost $10 each. Now its too expensive for me to buy 100 btc (expensive as in i dont have the money, not that the price itself is expensive), because as you put it, if it ever becomes mainstream, then being in the top 0.0035% of bitcoin holders would be priceless.

These things have been posted many times when the price was lower than $10.

Fair enough, unfortunately I wasnt here to read these words of wisdom. Why does important crap like this never get to my Facebook page, instead I get pictures of lol catz and dogs... wtf?!?

That's why I dont have a facebook account, it's a waste of time !

What a great way to think of it!
