Topic: Anybody in the 1000 Bitcoins club here? (Read 3143 times)
Certainly. But they are not here to earn like us. They can be here to share our money. They are gambling site, or ponzi sites,...
And perhaps the richest member here apart from Satoshi was knightmb with an admitted 371,000. No idea whether he still has them but it's a pretty insane tale anyway. A syndicate of investors set up a mining farm. They drifted away from it and he bought them out for $5000.

Knightmb had BTC371,000 with him five years ago, in 2010. He might have sold most of his coins when the price went up. (Exchange rates went up from $0.001 in 2010 to $0.01 in 2011). Another chance is that he might have lost his interest in Bitcoins (he was last active here on December 2010), and would have thrown away his coins.

I'm not in the club but , dude, luck for those who have that 1000BTC. Hope they wll share their blessings.
There'll be a handful of club members still here. I can imagine the old school might despair at what this forum has become but there are still some gems to unearth.
Large holders who are out in the open include Chamath Palihapitiya with somewhere north of 100,000, The Winklevii with a similar amount, some other British bloke who was interviewed had a similar amount, I've read that Max Keiser has or had 21,000, Dustin Trammell is reputed to have several hundred thousand, Roger Ver bought 300,000 back in the day.
It's a surprise there's any left for the rest of us.
If you want to join it these days then you can probably have it in a couple of months by running away from your darknet market.

I'm not in the club but I'm sure I made some people get in.
Back then in 2010's My pc (pentium 4 that runs XP) used to run minerd.exe which uses cpu 100%...
I'm pretty sure that whomever hacked my computer and installed virus on it earned over 1000 bitcoins...

Man, I'm not even in the +10BTC club yet. I hope to be by the end of the year though!
Let me classify those who are having more than 1K coins:
1. Satoshi
2. A small fraction of the early adopters, who refrained from cashing out their coins in 2012 and 2013.
3. Owners of Bitcoin-based business ventures, such as exchanges and gambling sites.
4. A very small number of institutional investors, such as the Winkelwii.
5. Thieves and hackers, such as Mark Karpeles and Thomas Jiřikovský.

1. Very likely. He/she was the creator of Bitcoin after all.
2. Probable. Those who believed that the ath in November 2013 was nothing compared to what's in store for btc in the coming years.
3. Of course. Gambling sites rake in large amounts of btc due to their so-called "house edge." The house always wins after all.
4. Those who believe in the potential of bitcoin may be heavily invested, leaving us the conclusion that they could possibly hold thousands of BTC.
5. Errm, idk. If you are a part of the Mt. Gox incident, you might as well have some thousands of BTC situated in different addresses.

Sure someone will tell you lol.
Wow 1000 BTC?
People who have more than 1000 BTC certainly large trader or an owner of a large exchanger, he must be very rich.

I guess I'm an ex member now but I got the funds from adopting the currency early on.
Of course , There will be have people that have 1000BTC even more than but they are here to earn, they own of a site for example, Doublebitcoin.com,....
Oh I hope ponzi's didn't get them that much.Yes of course there are! I guess i know some of them! Here:
1) Dooglus (5000+ in my opinion
2) Stunna ( 5000+ in my opinion)
3) keepinquiet (1000+ in my opinion)
1) Dooglus (5000+ in my opinion
2) Stunna ( 5000+ in my opinion)
3) keepinquiet (1000+ in my opinion)
My estimation:
Dooglus: 7k+
Stunna: 20k+ he owns the biggest dice site, and over 4 billion bets, almost 4 million btc wager. 1% of the house edge, it means he at least has earned over 40k+ BTC.
Addi: 10k+ owns a casino, too
And many biggest casino owners, at least 5K+ btc.
I honestly don't know where do you guys get these figures. It is true that they own the most popular gambling sites and services but it doesn't make sense to put in there what they really hold. Intelligent guesstimate, I assume.
Yes of course there are! I guess i know some of them! Here:

Wowww! That's is deserve to admire . I wish i have 1/100 of them
Hahahaha !

Wow big number of BTC there, looks like most of them got by being owners of betting websites
Stunna: 20k+ he owns the biggest dice site, and over 4 billion bets, almost 4 million btc wager. 1% of the house edge, it means he at least has earned over 40k+ BTC.
Can't be sure about that. Stunna's annual revenue might be more than BTC20,000. But how can you be sure that he is keeping all of that in the form of BTC? He might have converted a large part of his stash in to fiat or bullion. Also, there are a lot of expenses associated with running an online gambling site.
No one would ever share this information to others, as they might be targeted by hackers knowing that they possess x amount of btc. The most probable owners of 1000 btcs are those who mined when the difficulty was still low.
NOONE
Just simply that If someone have 1000 BTC , they won't waste their time here .

You can expect some Bitcoin devs having 1000+ coins, especially the old ones. And yes, they post in this section sometimes.
