Who hold more Bitcoin, the Winklevoss twins or someone else?

News media around the world is reporting that the Winklevoss twins are the world first bitcoin billionaires, stating they own 100,000 bitcoins. Congratulations to them.

Does anyone know who the other bitcoin whales are?

I also heard for the twins Winklevoss, I do not know anyone else. I think that many billionaires who are ripping it off and we do not know anything about them

Some prefer to remain anonymous or to keep a low profile. Not everybody craves publicity

Has it occurred to you that many bitcoin holders have been traced and beaten up in their homes after exposing how much coins they own. I do not think many people will want to expose themselves after hearing and seeing all this theft. Some may even split their coins into many wallets to avoid trace.

No, I was not aware of even one Bitcoin holder who was beaten up in their own home simply because they held Bitcoin. Do you have any links to post here so we can all check out the incidents? Thanks

Six months after this post,i guess its not only bitcoin who makes investors here a billionaires because altcoins and tokens are best engines to make good profit,thats why hundreds or thiusands of ICO are running day by day.
Yes bitcoin has the highest value but many alt and tokens that if you gather together are more valuable than the Top coin.

That wealth is distrubuted unequally between thousands of people so the number of of billionaires is less than the number of multi-millionaires and the number of multi-millionaires is less than the number of millionaires and so on...

Cryptocurrencies as you mentioned are doing very well, ICOs are still running and tokens are still available but the thread was started to discuss Bitcoin billionaires. No problem, if you know of any Ethereum or XRP or any altcoin billionaires please list them here.

Well, I am a fan of whoever is beciminh big time in cryptocuurencies as long as it was earned in a good way.

I agree. What better investment than the one the Winklevoss twins made, using money they received from their lawsuit against Facebook to make themselves billionaires

The winklevoss twins recognized the potential in bitcoin far in the past when the bitcoin valuation was less than 30 billion USD , early investors since Facebook these investors have predicted that the valuation of bitcoin will reach a staggering 400 billion dollars till the end of the year.

I have no idea what the market capital of Bitcoin or total altcoins will be in December 2018, time will tell but the market prices have fallen badly taking a hit.

He would be the bitcoin billionaire if he holds a large amount of Bitcoin

It's just that real billionaires hide their identities. The creators must have kept some sort of gate for themselves as a back door. i am wrong and i hope more people will become millionaire or even billionaire like them in the future.

Yes you are right. As mentioned before it was reported they bought 110,000 BTC at $100 each for a total of $11 million

I think that the brothers are not the richest members of the crypto community is much richer people. but this is a vivid example of the fact that this industry has a future

I hope so too.

You can check out the Bitcoin Block browser, or go to Google and search for the top 10 Bitcoin holders. I know that in addition to the well-known holders, there are also many large miners who have a large number of bitcoins.

it's good time and great for me to expect great results from crypto & bitcoin, and I hope bitcoin prices will rise more than now, bitcoin prices go up until the world recognizes bitcoin's existence and usage case + investment tool.

This is an amazing accomplishment not just for the first billionaire but for the whole community. Well it just shows how great this system is and can be really relied on. This is a kind of peat that needs to be recognized and inspire you. This is the reason why I love bitcoin because I know its capability to help me and I'm willing to wait for my turn.

They are influential and powerful enough to protect themselves. They already had a lot of wealth before they invested in bitcoins. For an average guy living in developing country with limited security, this might be a problem. But for a person of their stature, I do not think that they need to be scared of a robber coming to their home and beating them up for their bitcoins.

They took a long time to this. They are great. Keep it up.

I wonder how many bitcoins the Winklevoss twins have already sold off from their giant stash. They could end up being two of the richest people in the world if bitcoin really does hit 500k levels.

I'm sure there are a lot of other secret whales that are holding 100k + bitcoin on multiple addresses but they are staying out of the public spotlight.
