Someone with a million dollars, euros, pounds or pesos is a millionaire. No one (Okay maybe Satoshi) has a million Bitcoins and probably never will.
So what's someone with BTC1000 called? A thousandaire? There's got to be a better name. 'Bitcoin Whale' is just so meaningless and some people don't consider BTC1000 a whale anyways.
What should we call a Bitcoin thousandaire?
Update: We should come up with a name for someone with a thousand Bitcoins. Why, you ask? We need to stop converting Bitcoins to fiat and vice versa. Treat it as a currency or a vessel to hold your wealth. Saying someone with 1000 Bitcoins is 'someone with $400,000USD' will be pointless at some point in our lifetimes.
Let's come up with a name so we stop comparing Bitcoins to fiat. You wouldn't tell someone with 10M pesos that because they're worth less than dollars they aren't a millionaire based on American dollars. You also wouldn't compare USD to gold anytime someone brought up how much a house costs.
Me: "Hey Bill. I'm buying the big house at the top of the hill for $1,000,000" Bill: "Oh so like 25kg of gold?"
That's just ludicrous. No one compares different currencies or vessels of wealth as much as Bitcoiners. Let's stop it by coming up with basic terms.

if he owns a few bits or a million bit he is a bitcoiner ,if he has that much coins, he is a millionaire or early miner who mined during the initial two years. you can call him the devil if you want ,since some have more than you have

Depends on the basis that you're using. 1.000 BTC is 1.000.000 mBTC and 1.000.000.000 bits. So the guy is either a millionaire in mBTC or a billionaire in bits. End of subject.

You call it a HUMAN. Regardless of the money he has you can call him a human since he is still a human. He never became immortal when he acquired those bitcoins. jk

If the user earned those in the early days of bitcoin, I'll call him an early adapter. If the user earned it in 2012-2014, I'll call him The Gox Survivor. If the user earned it in 2015-2016, I'll call him the Elusive Scammer or Successful Investor.

Good question and cool and interesting answer given here. I would call a person with 1000 BTC and true Bitcoiner. One need to invest a lot of time and/or money before they can have 1000 BTC. Even hackers need to spend time programming and hacking a wallet. If obtained legally, I would call him/her true Bitcoiner. However if obtained in a unethical, no matter how many Bitcoin, I would call him/her a fake Bitcoiner - unless he/she reveal how it was hacked and gave the Core developer ways to fix. .

Well I would say, 1.000.000.000 bits = < Bitcoinaire > but that would sound weird and people would think he or she has 1 000 000 Bitcoins. I would just call him or a her filthy rich. We also have a name for a period of 1000 years. 1000 years is called a millennium. A millennium would be the equal to 10 centuries, or 100 decades.
We need to make up a name between a millennium and Bitcoin to math the description.

Commonly he can be called as a bitcoin billionaire. How much he has doesn't matter only the value of all the Bitcoins will be calculated to describe how rich he is

Early adopters should have at least more than 1000btc so if that guy is has just recently got 1000btc to his wallet, you might wanna call him "lucky fuck". maybe from gambling or have made a online business work.

I think I'm gonna call him a bitcoi billionaire like what others call someone who has tons of BTC. Regardless of the 000 he has he is rich. Also the other guy is right, if the guy has those coins when btc was like below $20 an still has them up today then he is a luck man.
