How Many BTC does the Forum's Administrators Have?

[Dictator69]

I was reading some topic few days ago, and that topic led me to this post of LoyceV where I read that, theymos address has 750 BTC and I did not believe it. Then I checked the theymos profile, and an address was mentioned there, and I checked it on blockchair explorer and found out that, there are 2 addresses connected to it one is of BCH and one is of BTC. Well, on checking, he has around 388.96 BTC. Then I came to get the idea of finding out how many BTC does the administrators of this forum have. It is possible that these administrators might have other addresses containing more BTC, but my way is simple.

I went to each profile and checked the address mentioned there on blockchair for the amount of BTC they have received or sent.

Well, here is the list of administrators I have found when I was reporting a message in my last topic .

• Cyrus--1ASUtuHN5KHzm3t7BNXjLeZBZK65D3DrNR  Number of BTC Received= 11.18626505 BTC
• hilariousandco-- 3Pq1njf9QsntNxaNHSnt1MRRCgvHNv9oco  Number of BTC Received= 5.919296 BTC
• mprep-- 3Dk152szgAebDq7VUPXLqxsTYm2Z4XqX5f  Number of BTC Received= 0 BTC  
• Mr. Big-- 1GKXB7fYGXAadovDzLebD4Ds6cbx5CdTAE  Number of BTC Received= 4.18533532 BTC
• theymos-- 1NXYoJ5xU91Jp83XfVMHwwTUyZFK64BoAD  Number of BTC Received= 388.96200792 BTC  

After checking the profiles of administrators, I came to conclude that, theymos has the most of the BTC and as per LoyceV's Post, which I stated above, theymos has around 755 BTC on that address. But that address is not the one that is mentioned on the theymos's profile. So, I cannot say anything about it.

To be honest, I thought the administrators might have thousands of BTC in their holding as they are the ones who made it this far from the start. But I think they don't have that much BTC, or I might be missing the right addresses to check. And I don't really think mprep has none BTC, he might not have written his main account in his profile.

PS: I hope I did not miss any administrator or consider any moderator as an administrator. I did find another good thread consisting of all the moderators, admins, and staff. ( List of the forum's admins/ global moderators/ staffs

So, I thought I should also check the address of the Staff too and should add how much BTC they have received at the addresses they have mentioned on their profiles.

Note* If I did make a mistake in sharing this information then please correct me

Edit: After reading all of the replies, I can say, most of the members except few, have took this post in a serious manner. Like I am saying they have only this much BTC in there holdings. While to make sure, I even shared my way of finding the amount of BTC they have in their profile mentioned addresses only. I made this post in a fun way not in a serious or rigid information about them having only BTC that I have mentioned above. I hope you all will not mind me.

Hey man. Well personally I dont believe we have anything to gain from knowing how much BTC anyone owns.

However, take into consideration that anyone can own the keys that lead to multiple addresses. So the one address you will find on my profile (for example) doesn't necessarily mean it's my only address. In fact it's the only address that I am comfortable in sharing with this forum's members.

Finally, if anyone owns many bitcoins, good for them. Concentrate on your goals and make sure to educate yourself. Of course this applies to many areas in life.

This is friendly advice of course

[Cantsay]

Dude, they can create a new wallet address that they have never posted or it’s not connected to their account and deposit some of their coin there which means this your post is totally wrong.

It takes less than 10 minutes to setup a bitcoin wallet and for people that have stayed in the forum so a long period of time and know so much about privacy and security it will be easy peasy for them to move their coins into their main wallet without anyone being able to trace the transaction to the new address, so just take a can of soda and focus on more relevant things rather than waste time on people’s money that of no use to us.

[snowpega]

I think OP just tried to show the results of those address which is attached here on BitcoinTalk which may accurate But the fact we really don't know anyone's portfolio actually what amount of BTC they Hodling and accumulating.

Sometimes things looks like that they are not what they are. They also have their other sides as well.i think All of these may have thier another private address where they own their assets privatly.

[albert0bsd]

Well this is Public information, but there is the possibility that they own more Bitcoin in some unpublished address, who knows?

I've doing something similar but with the address of all users in the forum, and yes there is a lot of Bitcoin changing hands here

[Stalker22]

I understand that some members have no reason to hide their Bitcoin holdings, but I see no reason to make it public either. For example, I have nothing to hide, but I still want to exercise my right to privacy. No one needs to know how many Bitcoins I have in my possession, just as no one needs to know how much money I have in the bank or in a private safe.

As for the mods and admins, I believe most of them are very well aware of how to keep their Bitcoin holdings safe, and I doubt they have made their cold store addresses public.

Hmm, Interesting trying to figure are you defending the OP or Opposing him, as nothing is clear in your statement, as we cant get those Bitcoins even if we had gotten their information, Those who clearly take note of their asset's privacy, which is quite interesting because as OP mentioned most of the staff members holding, I think others can defiantly mention the Bitcoin address with 1K+ to 10K bitcoin holding addresses... (Just trying to explain), as on blockchain information is public, what matters is your identity and I'm sure OP cant mention their identity.

Even someone can post a full list of wallets having X number of Bitcoin using any API or filter on the Blockchain's data.. besides that OP seems like you've put a lot of effort into coming up with an idea, for the next time I would suggest finding more specific informational content. Best of Luck   .

[tbct_mt2]

You must learn a basic, people can create and use as many Bitcoin addresses as they want. They can do it easily with a good open source non custodial Bitcoin wallet software.

What you tried to find is impossible and only tips of iceberg. Like you can not find any on-chain analytic tools or parametric that can give you how many people own bitcoin so far. They only are able to give you total number of Bitcoin addresses that have bitcoin.

Forum admins, moderators have their Bitcoin addresses on their profiles to get donations or salary.

Many Bitcoin developers have their donation addresses at https://bitcoindevlist.com/ (Bitcoin Donation Portal) but you can not know how many bitcoin each developer has.

[Agbamoni]

I can imagine how the time it took you to go through each of the administrators BTC scanned addresses just to provide this information. One thing you should be aware OF is that most persons prefer being isolated and prefer hiding their asset in another wallet so no one will know the amount of their Bitcoin holding. The Bitcoin addressed you scanned might be one that can be seen by the public but there is this special wallet that hold most of their portfolio. I can't believe mprep will have 0 amount of Bitcoin holding.

[Baofeng]

Ok thanks for this, but I really don't know what we can get out of this data? I mean what purpose that it will served knowing the administrators BTC in their possession or how much they have right now?

I'm sorry but this is non-sense, sorry to burst the bubble @OP. Unless you are a tax collector,  

[KingsDen]

Ok thanks for this, but I really don't know what we can get out of this data? I mean what purpose that it will served knowing the administrators BTC in their possession or how much they have right now?

Maybe this has made me know how rich theymos is;
This will give me the reassurance that theymos will continue to pay for the domain of this forum for a long time;
The data will also make you understand that Welsh is a rich staff

I'm sorry but this is non-sense, sorry to burst the bubble @OP. Unless you are a tax collector,  

Op would have made further efforts by including that of satoshi to the data. It is obviously that of Satoshi's address that people are so interested to know and to claim.

[logfiles]

OP, you really have a lot of time on your hands. If it were possible, I would have borrowed your time, since you have plenty to waste around.

Having a bitcoin address on the profile does not signify
1. That is the person's main address for receiving Bitcoins
2. The total number of received Bitcoins in that address isn't the total amount that person currently owns

A good example is the addresses on my profile. It received only ‎0.0362 BTC in 16 transactions since 2019. Does that mean that's the total number of bitcoin I have received in the past 4 years?  

[Sim_card]

Nobody will be stupid enough to keep all their bitcoin on one wallet, talk more of the wallet that was provided here. It is advisable that one shouldn't keep all his bitcoin in one wallet, but in various wallets, so that when one wallet is compromise, it will not be all your bitcoin that is gone but just some fraction of your bitcoin. This is the reason why your information doesn't have all the fact of number of bitcoin that the staffs have in their custody. I don't understand why you chose to use you precious time to know how many bitcoin is in the staff's wallet that was pasted here.

[PX-Z]

To be honest, I thought the administrators might have thousands of BTC in their holding as they are the ones who made it this far from the start.

Broken logic. It's not always the case. Do you think an oldtime holder won't spend their bitcoin? What's the purpose of holding it, just for show that i have this kind of numbers? And become rich virtually?

Well, with those numbers, you could say at least its their average holdings, users here are not that open for public viewing.

[gunhell16]

Because the assets are personal, I don't believe it is necessary for the forum community to be aware. Perhaps because you have already done this or before you did it, they have moved it to another add moved because, as individual holders, we do not want others to know about it because we desire as much anonymity as possible.

That's why you did it; you revealed their holdings based on your investigation here on the forum site. Were the people whose identities you mentioned on this platform notified, or did you obtain their permission first? In any case, you did it. What is your point in bringing this up? What advantages do we have here?

[jeraldskie11]

I really appreciate on the hard time that Op has spent to gather those data. But you can't totally determine how much Bitcoin do they have, only the Bitcoin they get from here. Some of them are using multiple addresses and I think none of them will expose the Btc they have if possible.

One of the possible reason why they didn't change the address:

1. As what I have noticed here in Bitcointalk, if possible, there is no changing of addresses, just like what theymos did.

2. Those addresses can be used to recover your account especially if you put it in your profile.

[Onyeeze]

Their is something I want to ask, what does how much bitcoin theymos and the head administrators has have to do with bitcointalk.org forum, knowing the amount of Bitcoin in possession of administrators is not time wasted, because even though you know it will not implies anything, what I don't know is how  forum the is being managed and if their is a necessary charge being subscribed by theymos every month or every year, its what I don't know, so I'm using this opportunity to ask if this forum do pay a monthly or an annual tax to any arm's of government. And those bitcoin that op mentioned I know that it was achieved or gotten from donations and what is it for?

Hey man. Well personally I dont believe we have anything to gain from knowing how much BTC anyone owns.  

Exactly, how many they have or don’t have doesn’t go to prove anything. Besides, you can’t completely tie them up to those addresses, they can have many more addresses that you or anyone else don’t know about and that’s okay and solely there business too. No need bringing someone else’s business with regards to there holdings to public notice. Leave it be and concentrate on trying to accumulate some yourself at OP.  Privacy is still a part to the bitcoin idea and I think it would be great if you leave it that way with this one. Like I said, it’s unnecessary!

AFAIK, that fund will be used on the forum to maintain domain cost, staff costs, and their salary.
I didn't hear about the annual tax or any tax payment, which I think is unnecessary since the forum is decentralized.  Have you ever heard that signature campaign participants paid taxes through their signature campaign earnings?  I think that scenario is the same.

IMO this thread isn't accurate and isn't necessary.
They can hide their assets and create a new wallet as their cold storage.  We can't really measure how really much Bitcoin they have.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Hey man. Well personally I dont believe we have anything to gain from knowing how much BTC anyone owns.

Agreed.  While it might be a neat-o thing to know if the people who make bitcointalk happen are bitcoin ballers, it's not a question I'd ever ask--and for the same reason I wouldn't ask any member here how much they've got.  It's none of my damn business unless for some reason it is my business, and since I have no stake in the forum's funds or the earnings/holdings of the moderators I'm not looking to see any data on that.

I mean, come on.  This is bitcoin we're talking about.  You know, cryptocurrency.  I'm fairly certain that along with cryptography being used in the code to make the network secure and functional, the spirit behind it is that there ought to be as much anonymity among its users as humanly possible.  Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous of course, but blabbing about people's holdings in a thread?  Eh, I wouldn't go there.
