Only 500 persons owns 36% of all bitcoins? come on thats a joke? i saw it in bitcoinrichlist. i wish i own those addresses lol.

You are welcome as one of the world's richest bitcoiner.

I don't believe that only 500 people are fluctuating the trading market.

[TieSKey]

Ha, does not surprise me

[wwz2193]

yea as one of the world's poorest bitcoiners lol, the other 65% is fluctuating the market or im wrong.

[jari76]

those 500 and alot more are just the early investors/ semiliate investors wit alot of money, bitcoin was way cheaper when it just started(think about a couple cents each).

mine primecoin

[drewforte]

Can I get a link to that? Just out of curiosity.

[sk8bo]

Does not surprise me either.

This is simply a fact of life. There are a few extremely rich people in the world but there are many people with almost nothing.

[beetcoin]

the top 1% own 35% of the wealth in america.. so it's comparable to the american economy. 500 is probably more than 1% of bitcoin holders right now.
 
the top 20% own more than half of the country.

You are right its less than 500 who own those addresses  

All these list are pretty interesting to see even considering we have no idea who owns the addresses or how many bitcoins they actually hold total.

Litecoin. The crypto currency where the printing press is in the hands of the people (off ASICs).

[Shimata]

I'm not sure about that but I heard that there was one person that managed to earn 5% of Bitcoins. Even people like Bill Gates only earn about 1% of the worlds economy so I don't know what will happen if that person uses those bitcoins.

[zimmah]

I wouldn't be surprised if at least 20% of those wallets are lost because they were miners/early adopters around 2009 and 10 000 bitcoins didn't cost a shit back then and they just forgot about it.

[wwz2193]

here is the link for those that asked for it: http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top500 ....133 wallets last transaction from 2009-2011 and the others(367) from 2013.

[Sindelar1938]

Intuitively sounds about right

Still heavily concentrated

[grux]

I feel like a lot of these people would be colluding with each other for the ultimate goal of making bitcoin global.

[jim4]

Sounds reasonable.

I am not surprised to that at all.
IIRC, someone said in a post that Satoshi owns about 1/6 of all bitcoin.

he owns 1.5 million, so about 12.5% of them.. at least that we know off. the BTC has not moved in years though, so it doesn't seem like satoshi has swung with his assets.
