Topic: 744,066 Bitcoin addresses now own at least 1 BTC - page 2. (Read 485 times)
That's a big number, it means the money flow is growing fast. And we are having more holders, but at the end, let's remember how an owner can have multiples addys, so, those 744,066 doesn't mean we have that amount of users holding one addy each one.
And for sure tons of those addys are from exchanges. and close to 20k addys are satoshi's addys.
That's a big number of address and too much to hold if its only one person. There might be a group of people who continues to work, or the worst thing is that those are scammers address which is very common for them to have more bitcoin addresses. I don't have 1BTC as of now but I do only have 3 BTC address just to make sure my money is safe but never to make a hundred of addresses, its hard to manage honestly.
Did you even read OP? He's saying that each of these addresses contains 1 BTC in it, at no point does he say that a single person owns all of these addresses.
Fun fact, owning 1 BTC is equivalent to owning around 700 acres of land in terms of rarity.

I own more than 1 Bitcoin, yet I never had 1 Bitcoin or more in one address. I'm currently consolidating my coins, but I don't want to put everything into one address, for privacy and security reasons. And since I plan to sell in batches in the future, it makes no big difference if my coins are fully consolidated or not, as long as I don't use more than one input.
Wealthier people can own multiple addresses with at least 1 Bitcoin, so this simple observation isn't very informative. It would be much better to get a proper survey, but I don't think many people would like to talk about their holding to strangers.

i don't like to read too much into these metrics---same with total number of addresses or total number of blockchain.info wallets. these stats can be easily gamed. we can't actually tell how many "people" control those addresses. if one bitcoin whale were so inclined, he could make himself look like many thousands of "bitcoinaires". just sayin!
True but still if those numbers continue to grow, who might know that one ore more addresses are still owned by a single person, it is not just always the case, the bitcoin community is expanding. if we will see in the future maybe that there are 10 million wallets with at least a single bitcoin on it the it could be alarming too, liquidize and the owner are somewhat holding to a single bitcoin for them to sell at their own likes. If that is the case then truly bitcoin will be scarce and pricey.
