Congrats to the Diamond Hands Bitcoin Holders!

[OgNasty]

There have been lots of discussions lately about Bitcoin minting millionaires with this latest runup.  Articles are popping up claiming there are nearly a hundred thousand Bitcoin addresses holding over 1 million dollars worth of BTC now.  You have people celebrating these "Diamond Hands" Bitcoiners on Reddit and sharing their stories of how they got or what could have been.

I don't know how many Diamond Hands Bitcoiners we have around these parts, but...

Congrats to you if you are one of the 93 thousand addresses holding over 1 million dollars in BTC. 

Huge congrats if you are one of the 8 thousand addresses holding more than 10 million dollars in BTC!

There's also more than 423 thousand Bitcoin accounts holding more than 100 thousand dollars worth of BTC, so if you are in that club that ain't too shabby either!

Ayye, we need more love for the smaller guys!

Congratulations if despite your financial situation and even if you live in a poor country, you still try to save more money every week/month to be able to stack more bitcoin!

[tranthidung]

Congratulations to bitcoin holders and I am sorry for people who lost their bitcoin because of carelessness (except death calls or accidents).

For people who don't know where to find details if they are curious about this, here they go:

• Top 100 richest bitcoin addresses
• Charts for bitcoin UTXOs and cumulative chart (in the second chart, the third address with 7073 BTC is not belong to exchange)
• Top 100 dormant 5-years bitcoin addresses (chart) (It is increasing)

I would consider myself as one, I am planning to reach 0.02 bitcoin this year and hopefully, I wouldn't have any reason to pull out the bitcoins that I have for cash. But to be fair, this is a celebration for the people that have large amounts of bitcoin so I better give my own cheers for them.

[yazher]

Those people are probably holding their BTC for a long time right now and maybe just a few of them have bought BTC when the price was under $20,000. Nevertheless, both parties have now succeeded two reaches that huge amount because they were holding it with perseverance and patience. so they really deserve to be congratulated on their hard-earned BTC.

[ubercool]

I would like to congratulate the smaller guys more than bigger whales. Holding anything above 0.1BTC is a great asset in my honest opinion. Even after 10 years, we are still the early birds in the crypto space as lots of things are still getting developed and we might have a great future for starting this early.

Also want to point out this...

Has anyone thought about this..? The number might increase in the future and this might become an issue in the supply chain.

Lucky to those who hodl Bitcoins even for chunks or smaller denominations. If only I had the money to invest I will surely hodl but we're affected by pandemic and daily needs is our priority this time. Congratulations to strong handed investors they'd doubled their profits now if they bought at $3,000-$20,000. It is really an advantage if you are a hodler.

It's never too late to enter. You could always reserve a small amount of funds to DCA or cashout in Bitcoin if you claim from faucets or get paid from Bitcoin-friendly websites.

Or since you're a Sr. Member, try joining signature campaigns. That's a no brainer

Why is this a problem? It's literally just stationary coins, coins that are just lost and the ones that are being held tightly by OG holders. Both of which have positive effects with bitcoin's price because these are bitcoin that are taken off the market (hence won't be dumped).

93 thousand addresses
8 thousand addresses
423 thousand Bitcoin accounts

One thing I sometimes notice, starting from 2017 rally, is that some old coins started moving from addresses holding a lot of bitcoins that used to have a very small value then they get split between multiple addresses. So for example 1000BTC balance of one address is split into 10x 100BTC balance. That means these numbers may be higher.

There is also the fact that many of these addresses with big balances belong to big services and these days we have a lot of them: big exchanges, companies, even gambling sites, institutional investors,... so opposite of the previous paragraph this mean the number of individual millionaires may be less.

Anyway... congrats to all those who have never fallen for the FUD that plays with their head to convince them to make an irrational decision.

What a good appreciation post and positivity! I'm hoping that even us small holder will soon reach that milestone where we will just hold our assets until it is very very very profitable.

Positivity is all we need despite of bitcoin volatility, we are glad that we saw this bull run happening this year and let's cheers to those Diamond hands bitcoin holders.

You're such an inspiration for us to hold more and patient enough to wait for the right and worth it time to sell.

[slaman29]

First time for me to hear about diamond hands but indeed, we should also give acknowledgement not just to those who held when it was $1 and waited at 2017 not to sell,,, I think those who bought AT the TOP at 2017 and did not sell even at 3k were the adamantium hands:) I know many did not survive that at all!

$100k in their accounts wow, that's 2 Bitcoins. 423k accounts like that. Half a million accounts.

[ChrisPop]

Total amount of addresses that hold any amount of bitcoin therefore would be around 37 million. Assuming that the average hodler has its stack split among let's say 3 addresses on average that means there are only around 12 million actual owners of Bitcoin addresses. Of course there are people out there who prefer to keep the BTC on exchange or in custody of some institution (so the amount of bitcoin hodlers is certainly higher), but yet this shows the massive amount of upside that this asset presents.

[Haunebu]

Majority of these addresses probably belong to rich whales, institutional investors etc based on my research. However, I would like to congratulate all the HODLERS(rich or poor).

Very few have the guts to HODL patiently for a long period of time despite all the ups and downs of the cryptocurrency market. Personally, I am not a long-term HODLER currently, but I might become one in the future.

You are probably right. Long time holders and eary adopters shoud earn our respect and not all the rich investors whos started with BTC in 2020 and are now considered whales. Lots of them probalby dont even know how to send their BTC to a wallet since they have private investment manager to do this for them.

[Coyster]

I'm definitely not a 'diamond hand bitcoiner', but atm i have no intentions whatsoever of selling the little stash I have in my wallet, it's great for people who fall under the category of a diamond holder cause it takes quite a lot to hodl on to your Bitcoin for many years, notwithstanding the FUD, price corrections, the media talks and RL stuffs, all this and many more could trigger an 'unwanted' sale.

For those not holding that much, I want you to know that the little you're holding also contributes to the network too, everyone can't be a whale, or be as rich as they are, keep believing in the network and accumulate at your own pace and never 'invest more than you can afford to lose' to join the 'elite' club.

[DarkIT]

Some people made a benifit by just holding. Some old and experienced traders know this secret.Many new traders don't know this secret. The secret is holding.Take this as an advice and hold bitcoin as an asset.Congratulations for the traders who had hold their coin and get huge benefit from it.Some became a millionaire from it.

[sunsilk]

How I wish that I still hold a lot. 

I'm happy that I've been part of the community whereas I'm able to witness the highs and lows of bitcoin. And how many got rekt, how many moved emotions, and how many got happily took their profits along the way.

People who have sold earlier, no need to regret if you have used the money in good use. What's important is you're able to help the bitcoin ecosystem and contributed in making its current status happen.

Special thanks to everyone who blew most/all their Bitcoins... Without us... I don't think any of this would have been possible either!

Just keep on keeping on!  Great song:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wJXBUfcIOE

Plus a special congratulations to OG HODLers, and merchants like you who front ran the billionaires by the very widest of margins. Without you leading the path, there wouldn’t be people to follow.

Congratulations to everyone! We are all Satoshi, except the fraudster - you know who. Hahaha.
