checking bitcoinrichlist.com/top100 positions 80 (also maybe 79) to 98 have the same last transaction in on Dec 25, 2013 11:26:40 PM. Each address holds about 10,000 coins.

So somebody owns about 180,000 coins = $145,800,000

Probably ArtForz, that dirty bugger.

Interesting and probably accurate within 10-20%, but there are more 10-100 BTC owners for sure.
17BTC wallet ranks at 81K at http://btc.ondn.net/search, but should have rank significantly less than ~78K according to the table.

Fill Your Barrel with Bitcoins!

It'll even itself out over time. At least those 790 people can't print more Bitcoins at will. Cheesy

All of that was taken into consideration, as was the Pareto Principle, similarity to buyers of silver, etc. Trust me, we went at this thing from as many angles as we could think of. I, for one, believe it to be pretty accurate given that we kept coming up with similar numbers from different angles.

So, way less than 10k people are Bitcoin richer than me Cheesy

That holds true for most of the forum frequents

Though this analysis is not completely true as many people, as I do, have Bitcoins in multiple wallets, exchanges etc..

Yeah, I have Bitcoin in Bitstamp, Kraken, Bitcoin Qt, Cryptsy, Primedice, and Dgex.

What is interesting that during the downtrend, Bitcoin usercount has grown by 66%.

(Bitcoin's organic growth rate is 53% per 2 months, however)

Total: 11.8M bitcoins (0.5M bitcoins assumed lost)

There is less holders than before in the category of BTC70+. The number of holdings smaller than this increased.

The number of bitcoin millionaires, previously estimated 930, decreased to 790 (-15%). Their combined wealth is 5.9M bitcoins, which is 50% of all bitcoins.

Speculation not profitable?

The number of bitcoin holders has just surpassed 2 million mark! The growth is happening in the smaller holdings.
