Following. Nice methodology. Sometimes when you cannot observe the stuff directly, it is indeed valuable to construct the distribution solely based on theory, maths and bounds. Otherwise you have nothing to play with, and obviously something is better than nothing, if you know the limits of the something.
My current understanding of the number of bitcoin owners is in the ballpark of 2-5 million (many services report that many wallets), but when we put this into the Gini perspective, the results show that only about 100k own a meaningful amount.
In Satoshi Roundtable, my closing comment was that
Bitcoin early adopter period (usually defined as the first 0.1%-2.5% of the eventual adoption of the technology)
is hopefully about to begin in 2015 (
innovator stage of the 0-0.1% being soon fulfilled
)
Don't you think that the innovators are the first 2.5%? Currently we are at about 0.025% if we say there are 2 million users with 8 billion people worldwide.
Something like this is my only real reference:
