I do believe that address you mention it is not their personal address like their cold wallet take a look at mprep do u believe the admin of this forum don't have any single btc at all hahahha.

and I also believe that some of user in this forum have their own personal address that never said the address publicly, for their own safety, privacy etc.

Tho what I believe is this forum has a large reserve of BTC but we dont know the address and how much is it.

"Finally, bitcointalk.org has a large reserve of BTC, so we're able to continue operating without ad revenue for many years. It's not even necessary to cut expenses or find replacement sources of revenue anytime soon, and I currently have no solid plans to do these things. I do regard it as less than ideal to be operating at a constant loss, especially because it constraints any desired future growth in expenses. Improving this situation will be on my mind in the coming years, but luckily it need not be a high priority." -  https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5407725.msg60976136#msg60976136

OP's intention wasn't against their privacy though. We must make this clear.

I believe OP may not know that the address you put on your bitcointalk profile may be one of the many addresses the user owns.

In fact, OP can use my profile as a reference. I have set a vanity address starting with 1Apogio which is my username here. I have exposed this address on purpose. Perhaps someone wants to send me some sats, or perhaps I do some transactions on the marketplace here. This is the address I want other users to know. I may have private keys that derive other addresses too. Who knows?!

What do you mean by privacy? Are they trying to hide their balance from the public eye? If that's the case, they should consider using a different Bitcoin address on their profile. On Theymos' profile page, there's a BTC address visible to anyone. This means that Theymos isn't really keeping their wallet completely confidential.

That's a wallet that we can know about and is allowed to be publicized. As for the number of wallets owned by Theymos, that might be one of the secrets that can't be disclosed.

I'm sure Theymos' wealth in the address displayed on the profile page isn't all of it. In other words, it's one of the wallets that can be publicly tracked, given the transparent nature of the blockchain. The exact amount of Theymos' wealth is unknown. There's nothing wrong with the original poster's inquiry, and I don't think there's any intention to intrude on someone else's privacy.

First of all bitcointalk does not have "Administrators", we have only one two "Administrator" that is theymos. Yes Bitcointalk have moderators and staff.  (Edit: I forgot Cyrus also holds Administrator position)

Secondly I don't know why we should be calculating how much BTC theymos or forum administrators are holding? Does it have anything to do with bitcointalk forum?

Yeah you can check how much donations forum has received this information is available https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html for quite some time.

Or may you just want to say how much bitcointalk forum is paying to it's Staff or Moderators? Of course that's something confidential info you can't calculate just based on some random public bitcoin address.

Forum has some expenses other then hosting or maintenance expense, moderators who working to make sure bitcoin it does not turn into garbage

Also once theymos said moderators should be seen as volunteers, not employees.


FYI above quote was true when there was advertisement on the forum, which has been stopped so we don't know if its still true, but moderators should be seen as volunteers should be true.
 

Is none of my business to know anyone Bitcoin holding since is not public information,  i would like possible to know how much Bitcoin the bitcoin talk forum owns than knowing how much an individual Bitcoin holding is, is against the privacy consciousness of Bitcoin holder, because instead of to expose our balance and identity, is better we build more codes that give more anonymously transaction and usage of the coin.


So none of my f* business to know how much bitcoin The Sceptical Chymist holds because is none of my business and is not as if he is gonna give the bitcoin to me any time, so why border my mind searching for what I can never it accuracy due to anonymous/privacy

Wait a minute so you are saying you have been paid 100BTC from theymos for your services? hahaha

Wow that should make "bitcointalk moderator" post a most highly paid jobs in the world.

I'm sure looking at OP he spent a quite some time in doing his research but like you said what's the point of the topic i'm sure he himself isn't clear because he did not come back this topic

Bitcoiners:
Privacy is a must, the banks, the government and even relatives, they all have no business knowing anything about your finances!
Also Bitcoiners on Bitcointalk:
How much money does x have? How many addresses does x hold? Who owns that address? When did that address move coins? Did x just move coins to an exchange? Do you think z has coins? Do you know one of y's addresses?


Oh, what privacy? How about this, let's have a topic monitoring how many Bitcoins and altcoins has bayu7adi gained in his signature campaign, how many addresses he has used on this forum, to what exchange he has deposited those, to what other users he has sent coins, how much merit he has gained and from whom, when he sleeps when he posts and so on.
It's all public knowledge, I assume you have zero objection against such a topic, right? 

I will be waiting for your work to see, and indeed one member would have another address that is not linked to this forum. Totally agreed.

Then don't use BTC blockchain because on BTC blockchain everything is transparent. Either you want to or not, it depends on you, in simple words, those who have mentioned there BTC addresses on their profiles are the ones who don't care about the privacy of hose wallets. After getting know about the privacy levels from cantasy, I came to know that we can obfuscate our TXs so no one would trace us. If you want to remain hide, then don't connect your wallet with your profile otherwise anyone can see how many BTC you have in your wallet by searching it on explorer.  I hope you will not mind my words.

And a matter of fact, banks know your personal life, and how much amount you have and can use that information for advertisement purposes, but BTC blockchain will not do such thing. So don't be worried while you are using BTC because your personal life is totally saved unless someone knows that this address belongs to you.

I think he is defending me.
Thank God, at least you know how BTC blockchain work, not being rude, but I was in some confusion after reading the reply of
Stalker22. Which was confusing but helpful too.
How would I find the amount of BTC using API, can you share some details please, I would love to know about it. I actually did not spend that much time, or I think I did not notice it, because it was a fun for me, I really enjoyed in getting familiar that this member is our admin and moderator and wow he has that much BTC and what! he has no BTC at all. These was my reactions and so I thought the same reactions would be of other members. But I don't think many members really liked this post.

You forgot to add Luke_dash jr, he was a staff with hundreds of Bitcoins, they stole them all from him.

Also, do you know what they do to nosey people in hell? I have no idea, but I bet is something along the lines between monster and giant molten dildos.😂
