3,189,354.44

thx for doing some mental arithmetic

but holy cow, thats 27% of all coins.

And how many persons holds those 250 adresses? I would guess very few.

At least one is an Mt. Gox cold storage address, of which at least 1 million BTC are estimated to be in. Many, many people hold a share of those cold storage addresses.

I need some help with trying to figure out dates/wallets,etc.. I don't know how much I can pay, but anyone that has the know-how to go back in time, look thru the blockchain with certain parameters, please contact me..

14o7zMMUJkG6De24r3JkJ6USgChq7iWF86 (#6 on the most recent list) is the Just-Dice.com cold wallet.  It represents coins belonging to the 730 people who "crowdfund" the site's bankroll.  I expect others high on the list are also collectively owned by many people.

Some probably long forgotten about or lost...

yeah quite a few last recieved in 2010 and 2011

Imagine the top address being stolen or signing a transaction with the private key sending yourself 1BTC and leaving the rest as fees 

Could create a mining war of forks. Mining groups ignoring the block trying to make sure they get it instead.

Woot, and the top 2 are suspected DPR coins. One is controlled by the FBI, and the next one seems to be in cold storage. Then the other one containing 29657 is, I guess the SR coins.

Speaking of which, what's a nice maximum bitcoin value to keep you out of the radar? Like a threshold or a lower limit. The last time I looked at the top 1855 fattest bitcoin addresses, and 782.1 was because of Avalon chip orders.

I'm guessing if you hold or control lots of bitcoins, it would be wise to break it up into chunks of less than 500, or maybe even smaller.

I agree.  But I have not detected a change in that direction yet.

And some of the large accounts are orphaned, so they will just sit there.  Isn't that an untapped marketing tool?  Like a free lottery?  

Sell the sizzle, not the steak.
