Then help me find them!

Here are the biggest wallets to start with:

http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top100

The Winkles own roughly 92.000 BTCs ("Their investment was worth $11 million in April at $120 per coin." Source: http://www.cnbc.com/id/101190181)

I saw a video in which they stated they still hadn't sold any coins, I'm pretty sure that video was from September 2013.

So which one(s) are they? Any additional hints?

Of course the could have. That's why I'm looking for additional hints.

Or maybe it was already made public somewhere somehow?

It's Bitcoin business.

While I couldn't care less about the concrete answer to this, I welcome these investigations to raise awareness to the issue. Not investigating publicly does not mean others don't already sell this data for money and having the tools and knowledge public is worth a lot.

People who are new to bitcoin don't care cause they "only invested $1000" but then they realize they are paying with their Mycelium wallet since 2 years and their transaction history always involves one address and they moved a fortune worth of coins due to price increase …

Please find their stash and confirm or question their claim of not having cashed out. It is of interest.

I would like to find out because I would be really interested to know when they will be selling in the future and how much. If you have any ideas or info how to go about that, let me know!

Why do you want to know?

Do you ask random strangers how much money they make and how much they have in their bank accounts?

See post #3 of this thread.

I could, if I wanted to.

BTC is public. Let's take advantage of that.

No need to play the guy with the ultra-high morals when there isn't even anything wrong done.

Some people in this thread are funny.  Forbes puts out their list of Top 50 richest people in the world and it is very interesting and many people read it.   Of course the top bitcoin holders is an interesting subject as well.

There's no way they keep their Bitcoins in a single wallet.
Probably spread throughout hundreds, if not thousands.

I think he was that was just an attempt to plug his wallet software (it's in his sig).  That made no sense in context.

Also, my guess for wanting to find out which wallet belongs to the Winklevii would probably be to somehow track their future investments.  However, I would imagine  that they would probably split into smaller wallets and do some coin mixing.

I know, and they ARE very smart.

I thought maybe somebody would have additional information. But this is probably a lost cause. *sigh*

For me, it's not about celebrity gossip, I really don't care if Kim went out with Lindsey or what Britney's dog has eaten lately.

Those Winklevoss guys are very smart, and they got in early and held all the way through. I would really like to know when they sell so I can use it for my own decisionmaking.

I doubt they have them all sitting in one address. Nobody really does that...

I used bitcoin spinner for a long time until somebody noticed that my account processed 15000usd and I never had anything near that number on my phone. It was just the accumulated ins and outs of my phone over 2 years. Bitcoinspinner is now replaced by mycelium which I did not contribute so far despite me advertizing it in my sig.
