Theres lists around showing populated addresses, but from there you can't really derive much.  The same person could own all the 10k addresses lying around.  I like to think that the system has naturally weaved large holders out and theres only a few people that have close to 100k or more.  If only 2-5 people.

But it really doesn't matter who has how many coins.  Being envious of someone else's riches is a waste of time.

Doesn't Satoshi own over 1M coins?

If he does, then he deserves them.  And I have a feeling he'd understand how to handle them without messing with the market.  I don't think they could be in better hands.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

no, my post is not about being envious. i am perfectly happy with everyone owning tons of them as long they were not stolen. everyone who has btc deserves them.
i would just like to know how evenly btc is distributed. bell curve ? but where is the peak ?

that would be a very interesting chart to see if it was possible to create it. unfortunately it isnt possible.

If he has 1 million coins or if anyone does then that is bad because it's inefficient.

Wow. $800k mining equipment. How long do you think it would take to recoup 5k BTC with it even if it did come?
