Who are the world's biggest Bitcoin holders in 2015??
Top ten list??
Obviously Satoshi, Gavin Andreesen, Roger Ver, Dustin Trammel, probably Mark Karpeles too after he stole all those coins from Mt.Gox.
Can anyone add to the list?

There is an entire website that lists which addresses own the most Bitcoin. You can find it here: https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.htmledit: thanks for this. Changed the site to accurate one. |

This is an interesting website that I wasn't aware about. Thank you for the share. Older members should definitely remember this very useful list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316297.0 |

Addresses are not the same as people. There is very little correlation. Exchanges (and other companies) use single addresses to hold bitcoins for thousands of people, and most people have their bitcoins spread across multiple addresses. |

That is true, but, due to pseudonymous nature of bitcoin, the best we can get to knowing who had the most and how much they have is to look at the addresses. |

Figures mentioned in the past for other people include 25,000 held by Max Keiser, some British guy who was interviewed by Max Keiser said he had 100,000, Wences Casares put a lot of his own money into coins a long time before the price exploded, Chamath Palihapitiya said he had several million dollars' worth in October 2013.
Who knows how much of this is all blag though. There won't be much left for the rest of the world at that rate.

The best of bitcoin is that you will never know that information unless owners say how much they have you can see addresses but they may be split into several addresses |

The distribution gap between rich and poor is really big. I don't think it is good for the development. The whales just sit and wait for high price. Then they dump it for profits. It is not fair for the average bitcoiners.

At one time, the FBI held the distinction for single largest holding of bitcoin after the SilkRoad raid. But I think they've auctioned them off since then.

Wrong. At no point of time, the FBI was in the possession of more than BTC200,000. On the other hand, Satoshi's Bitcoin holdings are estimated to be worth some BTC980,000. So Satoshi has remained as the single largest holder of Bitcoin, ever since the mining started in 2009. Whether he has got the private keys to all of his coins is another question. |

It's just the Top Richest Addresses, I believe some people may split they coins to different addresses, so the real rich one is hard to found. |

So it seems to be true then that the distribution of bitcions is very concentrated to a few individuals. This doesn't have to be a bad thing. If you think about it the holders are not likely to dump large quantities. Even an idiot would not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs like that. There must be some "lost" coins as well, like that poor guy who accidentally threw away his hard drive. So if you assume that the large owners will not willingly cause a crash, then what you have is an artificially created shortage of bitcoins. This should make the price go up more quickly then it would otherwise, but it should also increase the volatility of price. Smaller dumps would effect the price more than they might otherwise with a larger supply of available coins.
I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but when I was young the t.v. taught me that knowing is half the battle. So I guess it is a good thing?
