Ranks of bitcoin hodlers.

[suzanne5223]

I remember this picture. I have seen it on somewhere on the internet few months back.
Also, I have heard of no coiner, shark and whale and I came to know about all the others from this picture.
I would fall in the Shrimp category too since I don't have 1 BTC.

I don't know if I am correct about this but the first I saw this type of picture from was Willy Woo when the Bitcoin market bullish first start maybe last December if I could remember correctly.
Having said that most people in the cryptocurrency are Shrimp and it the crypto exchange and some organizations that's into Bitcoin that are Humpback.

I don't need to explain much further as I am the one of the 99.99% of shrimp. If I could get to being a crab then it will take a long time before I could reach that. If there are different animals being used to rank the bitcoin hodlers then I would say that "BITCOIN" is the "SEA" where all hodlers are swimming and "SATOSHI NAKAMOTO" is the master of the sea (like poseidon). Quite fit right?.

Even though I've never been a huge fan of aquatic creatures, I'd be pretty content if one day I ended up in the fish category.
There are a few more coins I'm missing, but I won't say how many.

No, Satoshi is more like a primordial soup or a spark that kick-started early life. Everything else "evolved" from that.

Uh no I am a shrimp. I do not like being a shrimp that is the bottom of the food chain I am food for everyone why did I not buy Bitcoin earlier when other people were buying hundreds of bitcoins. If I have 1000xrp do I qualify as a shark?

I was wondering if that is glassnode's original classification or not. The referenced article is from February 2021, and it may have been an updated version of a prior article of theirs.

Nebvertheless, it was referenced in a few entries I found that date back from 2018 (unless there are updates that do not alter the dates on these sites):

This tweet though seems to be from September 2017:

That's strange ^{[I've always thought they were the ones that came up with half of those terms first (I was wrong)]}! I checked the source code of the above steemit link and it appears that @marketanalysis posted that image four days prior to the above tweet, so I've added that one as the main source on my previous post ^{[I've also double-checked that image and the ones posted by Glassnode on google, but couldn't find any other source prior to the above steemit link]}:

LOL I also only know about "Whale" and some other terms I haven't heard of. But if it's made with a Bitcoin holder Rank symbol like this, I'm in the No-Coiner rank, because I don't hold Bitcoin at the moment. I hold Fiat and Altcoins. Holders of 10,000 BTC may call it Armageddon.

[RIPMABA]

Hahaha I have only heard of Bitcoin whales before, but I didn't expect that there are higher-level names than whales. In fact, I really admire the people who own so many bitcoins. They came into contact with the industry earlier and really understood him. Fortunately, it is not too late for me.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I'm pretty sure this was just made for fun lol. I mean, who even refers any bitcoiner as a "Bitcoin crab" or a "Bitcoin octopus"? That's ridiculous. I'm pretty sure only "whale" and "no-coiner" are what's being used 99.9% of the time.

Perhaps for fun but, it makes sense right, lol... can't believe I'm a shrimp, lol...

Well, I would say, I've very much familiar with the whales and nothing else, not even the No-Coiner.

When I come to see statistics such as these, as to how much bitcoin an individual, a company or an organisation has accumulated over the years and the price of bitcoin as we have it now, it amazes me, seriously. You sure don't want to believe but, its obviously true for some cases and still, you don't hear them in the forbes list, lol...

Too many categories are not necessary. LookintoBitcoin has 4 categories that are enough in my opinion.

• > 1 BTC
• > 10 BTC
• > 100 BTC
• > 1000 BTC

The list leaves alot of people with less than 1 bitcoin out of the classification and this class of people are in the majority and very vital too to bitcoin. I do not like that. There was a site I read of those who have less than 1 bitcoin described as 'Plankton' and it made me laugh hard. The whale is the most used of them all to describe bitcoin holders. May be it is because of its size. But how come water animals are used to classify bitcoin holders. Is there anything that caused that?
