Who are the richest Bitcoin users and how much do they own?

[delliaerd]

It is very hard to know how the richest bitcoin users. Even, i don't know how much every users of bitcoin have BTC . But my friend told satoshi nakamoto have very a lot of bitcoin

That is what they say. But we don't really know, because we still don't know who he is.
I think Satoshi had a lot of bitcoin and just converted to fiat money and now is just having a vacation or retirement.

Yes, you are right. Impossible  to Satoshi Nakamoto converted all of his mine. From my viewpoint it can affect to bitcoin' s value.  If I  the richest bitcoin users I also need retirement from my hard work bitcoin activity

Is for true ? Roger Ver Richest Bitcoin owner is move to XMR? - he makes post here on his site www.bitcoin.com

[The Sceptical Chymist]

It's none of our business.

I respectuflly disagree.

As an owner of Bitcoins it is of interest to me who the other participants in this market are and what they do. If for instance (a very drastic scenario to illustrate my point) Roger Ver posts that he intends to sell all of his Bitcoins, then the value of my Bitcoins will certainly decline.
As you can see there is a direct causality relationship between all participants in the Bitcoin market.
Therefore knowledge about large owners, the sizes of their holdings as well as their intentions are in fact crucial information for everybody who owns Bitcoins.

Get over yourself.   It's their money and even if they dumped it all on the market tomorrow,  they don't owe you or anyone else a courtesy flush.

It is quite hard to find out. No one knows whether this Satoshi Nakamoto is one individual, or a group of individuals. Secondly, we don't know whether he is alive or not. And most importantly, even if he is alive, we don't know whether he has access to the private keys of all his Bitcoin wallets (it is more or less confirmed that he is having some BTC980,000 in all his wallets).

It should be that way, tbh, but the problem is is that people can easily copy and paste the public address to see how much that address has.  That's a real problem in, for instance, Satoshi's case (if that person is still alive) because he has made his address public and people can see his coins there and if he moves them at all.  So, unless Satoshi just all the sudden wanted to create a mass panic in the bitcoin market place; it's safe to say that the total remaining Bitcoins in circulation are 20 mill instead of 21.

Having a protocol in place where there is no ability for people to see how much you have in your wallet or trace where one person sends to another person is a pretty important thing for personal security of your own wealth.

If that is the case, the richest guy must be Mark Karpelès. In 2014, he stole around BTC650,000 from the Mt Gox users (in addition to another $50 million worth of fiat). Now he is enjoying his life, moving from one luxury apartment to the other in Tokyo.

biggest holder bitcoin i think satoshi nakatomo
because he is founder bitcoin and early price bitcoin only one dollar, so he much collect and hold bitcoin
but diference he is lost private key or all balance in sell

[X7]

Why do you want to know?

[Bitcoinpro]

I know Satoshi is claimed to possess 1.1 million BTC (which would be an insane amount)

But who are the other really large holders and how much do they own? Roger Ver? Gavin Andresen?
I remember someone claiming that Ver owns about 300.000 BTC, is there any place where this is confirmed?

I have checked http://www.bitcoinrichlist.com but they only show adresses and we cant know with certainty which of those are connected.


Are there any confirmed large holders, who openly talk about the amount they possess?

Mark Karpeles Bitcoin address is still active since I looked at it a few months ago anyway

and the sums moving around from it from what I can remember are fairly sizeable

of course satoshi Nakamoto has millions of bitcoin in their wallet but I'm sure he will not sell all their bitcoin at a time. of course it will hurt himself. I do not think that he is the bitcoin? he is the creator of course he has a lot of bitcoin. for users themselves. I've seen users have more than 1000 BTC in their wallets

[satdas]

i thin no one know about the number the amount of bitcoin one have, and that is the beauty of bitcoin, but still i am sure that there are must be so many people who will have a big amount of bitcoin,

[drwtsn32]

i know all accounts!

.....but no names 

Yeah. OP already included that in his post.

If I'm going to be one of those rich people I won't ever say anyone about it. What for? I won't let myself be in danger.

[johnnyyash]

The richest guy with bitcoin is Satoshi who is known to have more than a million BTC. Other than that Nick szabo, and the guy from anarkapulco should be the ones with the biggest amounts of bitcoin.

i secondly agree with you...the richest is satoshi....but i dont know of anakapulco..though will make research on or check it out...

I think we will never know their names

[tampazeus]

The fact is people will never disclose how much amount of bitcoins they own, they would like to keep it secret and its impossible to know the names of richest users.

Chinese English teacher and angel investor Li xiaolai said that he has over 100k btc, must be a top 10 rich guy if the figure is correct

[Sithara007]

Still his coins are worth less than $60 million in fiat. When we will get our first Bitcoin billionaire? Li Xiaolai will become a billionaire if the exchange rate rises to $10,000 per coin. But that seems to be a long way off. I am losing patience over the stagnant exchange rates. When we are going to see BTC surging in to the 5-digits?
