Thanks for posting this. This makes it way easier to justify holding onto my Bitcoin (instead of spending it) - knowing +0.1 BTC ownership is this rare makes it seem a lot more likely we'll see sharper exchange rates in the future!

Glad you enjoyed it. Smiley

With new interest in BTC, I see a lot of so-called "latecomers" who feel they are late to the party and have missed the boat.
I want to tell them that the party is just starting.
I want to tell them that the boat is just sailing.


I remember coming in at $10 and thinking I was too late.
I remember when it hit $100 and everyone else thinking they were too late.
Same at $250, $500, etc etc.

It would be great at $5000 and hearing people say the same thing.

I can't wait to sell a $5000 bitcoin.    I mean, why wait, who wants to buy that future $5000 coin from me now?  Smiley

For you to be in the "richies" means that you at least own a couple USD million dollars with current purchasing power (aka asuming it doesnt get devalued by time).
The scenareo some paint I simply cant believe it. These guys that believe not only 1BTC= 10k, 100k or even 1Million are delusional IMO. Do you think the goverment and powers that be are going to let random NEETs that happened to mine a shit ton of BTC on the early days become the new 1% clique? Get real. Im sure BTC will rise a bit still but we are certainly late to the party to pertain to that 1% in terms of purchasing power.

Terminated.
I'd rather look at it the other way around.
Like having 0.1% of BTC.

That their 0.1 BTC makes them so rare as to be among the top 0.xxxxXX% as far as bitcoin ownership is concerned.
That, if bitcoin becomes the world's currency, their amazing secret to untold riches is simply to hold on to that 0.1 BTC.

So, here goes:

Please see this wonderful post by rpietila
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/distribution-of-bitcoin-wealth-by-owner-316297.

Now, let me translate this to top X%, assuming a world population of 7e9.

Do you own "JUST 0.1 BTC"?  CONGRATS! You are among the TOP 0.004%!!
  By all means, hold on to those 0.1 BTC, and maybe, just maybe, untold riches await you!

Do you own 1 BTC? CONGRATS! You are among the TOP 0.003%.

Do you own 10 BTC? CONGRATS! You are among the TOP 0.001%.

Do you own 100 BTC? CONGRATS! You are among the TOP 0.0002%

Do you own 1000 BTC? CONGRATS! You are among the TOP 0.00002%, or among the top 1000 people.

Do you own 10,000 BTC? CONGRATS. You are among the TOP 0.0000007%, or among the top 50 people.


(not legal/financial/any advice, investments are risky and can bankrupt you, past performance doesn't predict future, void where prohibited, remove plastic before consuming, etc.)

How exactly does this assume BTC is divided? Or is that just word population / Bitcoin Supply?

I think this thread should be considered speculation, and by speculation I mean really really out there. Judge out BTC holdings based on the entire earth's population? Why would anyone even spend the time doing that lol.
I'm all in with BTC, but sometimes the threads are just a bit out there.
