But they'll always be with us whether we like it or not. As unsexy as it may seem, you do need some folks with a bit of financial muscle to get things moving.


I'll guess that the club membership is lower, but the individual stacks of those who remain are becoming increasingly monstrous. 

1,000,000,000,000/100,000=10,000,000

so none of them will be trillionaires at that price. If bitcoin goes to 1m each, satoshi might become a trillionaire if he has 1m coins like rumoured.


That said, it shouldn't be that surprising, since there was an estimate that there would be 10 trillionaires by 2060 or something.

There's 712 addresses with 2000 or more bitcoin currently.  549 of these have 2100 or more.

The majority of bitcoin users aren't storing all their coins on one address, but it's also safe to say that many of these addresses are owned by single individuals (Draper, Winkelvoss twins etc).

My random guess is about 400 different groups/individuals. As bitcoin begins to move towards $1000 again, there is going to be a massive psychological barrier for members of this club that have held that amount during prior bubbles. I think in the short term this group will grow smaller before it expands as members sell their coins off to large groups of individuals investing in bitcoin for the first time.

I hear there's rumors on the Internets: Vladimir is actively farming Achi
