I went to http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top500

I exported to excel and in the top 500 there are 350+ addresses whose last update was 9/6/14 18:31

Many of them have the exact same coin balance. The total......?? 1,985,000 bitcoins.....!!!!

wtf..... is this right? what am i missing here??? conspiracy lights are going off!

Look at the currency setting on top -- it's set to Thai Baht (instead of USD for example), which has the same currency symbol as BTC. Take a look at the column titled "Bitcoins" and everything is fine again Wink

It is definitely someone but who knows if it's bitpay, an exchange, a miner, several miners, venture capitalist firms, some kind of hedge fund, the government, the rothchilds, the aliens, or the multiple creators whoever they are. Regardless it allows us to calculate that the amount of bitcoins moved around on exchanges daily that affect "price" is only a very small amount that's def less than 50k
...which is a great sign!

You need to remember that some addresses are controlled by exchange (and others) who hold bitcoin on behalf of several people. So while it may be possible that a single address contains a million plus bitcoin, this fact will not necessarily mean that a single person actually owns all of this bitcoin
