I came across a link to a web page a while ago that gave the statistics of those who own bitcoin. For example, approx 80,000 people owned between 1-10 bitcoin. only 500,000 own between .1-1 bitcoin etc...
does anybody know where I can find this link again? or a link with the same info?
thanks for the help,

You don't know how many addresses I split my bitcoins across, so any such statistics are very rough estimates.

While no idea is perfect, some ideas are useful.

ok but it still give us an idea of the maximum, which is still very useful.

All the news about the bitcoin wealth distributions, believe it or not, came from Risto's "estimates" on this thread here:

I wrote a bit about how first the media and later even university professors ran away with this story as though it was "fact" here:

The problem is that on that website granularity is very bad... I'd like to see more granularity options. Then, we all could make a more in-depth view of btc distribution.
