I'm curious: why would you disclose this?


Someone that would like to manipulate the market at some point. Imagine the effect of a post by Loaded saying he is willing to unload Cheesy

Just to reply to an earlier discussion in this thread, I believe only bitcoins in a wallet under direct control should be counted. Several have suggested that investments or third-party accounts should be counted, but that is illogical. By the same convolution of logic I could suggest that Bill Gates is in the top 10 holders of bitcoins, he just has his coins invested in dollars at the moment and can convert them back to coins whenever he chooses.

A bitcoin wallet is the direct measure. Who cares how many shares of ASICMiner, Labcoin, or even Microsoft you have? It is irrelevant to how many coins you actually control. Otherwise, coins can be double counted. One could state that they have 1000 coins, but that 500 of them are in ASICminer and 500 are on MtGox. In reality you have zero. ASICMiner has 500 and MtGox have 500. You only have IOU's that may or may not be redeemable at any given time.

Well, if I own 1% of the shares of a company. And that company control X coins. Than I own X/100 coins.

 They own the coins. Ownership in a public company does not include the rights to unilaterally dispose of their assets as you see fit. You get only what they decide to give you.


No they are yours. THAT is how public companies work. Shareholder jointly own the company.

If only I was one of the 500 :3

At these reduced prices we are enjoying today, only about $1M is needed to secure your place among the Most Wealthy.

Actually I am still baffled how cheap it is. There are so many who have $1M... I think it was 30 million individuals globally. Only 500 with $1M in BITCOINS!
