Why do you want to know?

Because it's public information.

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.c[Suspicious link removed]m/id/101190181)

I saw a video where 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?



Q4 2013 in their reddit AMA they verified they still hadn't sold anything.

These wallets clearly seem to be from the same person. All have 10,000 BTC each. All were created on Dec 23, 2013. That's over 200,000 BTC worth about $160 million USD!

I haven't looked at the data to determine if your use of the word "clearly" is accurate here, but one thing that's definitely NOT accurate is your use of the word "person". Use "entity" instead.

People annoyingly forget that many of the big wallets are likely exchanges or other bitcoin-holding businesses, which in turn, likely represent thousands of individual holders.

Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

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 where 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?



Would be hard to track because Robert M. Faiella had them put all their bitcoins in Mt GOx for safe keeping.

"Robert, we're both new to this Bitcoin thingy, and..."

"Don't worry about a thing. I have two friends of which I work closely with on the board at The Bitcoin Foundation."

"Good enough for me!"

"Me, too, Skro!"

"Great! I brought along some NEFT to celebrate."

<after a few drinks>

"Well, you boys ready to sign? We're losing money!"

"Shouldn't we have our lawyer look..."

"Already ahead of you! Patrick wrote it."

So much for the first wallet on the list above belonging to them: https://blockchain.info/address/1f1miYFQWTzdLiCBxtHHnNiW7WAWPUccr

Created on: 2011-05-04 02:10:49

But...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2013/11/09/the-11-million-in-bitcoins-the-winklevoss-brothers-bought-is-now-worth-32-million/

Quote
A lot of people laughed at Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss when they announced in April that they had acquired $11 million worth of bitcoins. The announcement came on April 11, the day after the virtual currency hit a record high of $266 and then plummeted to $120. Over the next few days, it would fall as low as $50, cutting the value of the brothers' bitcoin stake in half.

Since it was mentioned that all the wallets are somewhat connected, I believe more hunting is in store.

This is one of their addresses:15D2pY5KJkv5yBcZEakgARFmhwYQ76hhFM

I was able to find this by guessing.

-edit-  Looks like they keep moving those coins.

How do you know it's theirs though, it's not like a name is attached to it... or maybe there is.

I'm confused here.

I know BTC isn't anonymous like we used to get told but I'm pretty sure an address doesn't come with an ID attached. Maybe bitcoin 0.1 Smiley

The chance of it being a Winkleaddress is pretty good since the Winklei owe a significant percentage of all the bitcoins.

When did the bros get into BTC? Were they early adopters or did they start later?

Not the time to be asking questions about how people got huge numbers of coins, kind of sensitive at the moment Wink
