It's just like everything else, more than 90% of the wealth is held by less than 10% of the people (and I'm in the wrong 10%).
Ah, but as more people use bitcoin they will be spread thinner. Someday, perhaps, the standard unit will be a Satoshi instead of a bitcoin. Perhaps pizza will cost 5,000 Satoshi, and the average person will hold about 1,000,000 Satoshi (about 0.01 BTC). When there are that many people using it and it is spread that thin (assuming that you haven't lost/spent the BTC that you have right now), you will be in the top 10% and will have significant wealth. You just have to wait for bitcoin to gain enough popularity ;-)
oh hell no! lol. Okay, not completely. I'm just saying, most investors move things around and keep like 5% gold in their portfolio and do graduated risk level segments and all that crap and think they're so clever. What they forget to do is also sell off some of their non-USD assets and pocket it as the price goes up. You can always re-buy. It's not really hedging your portfolio if all you do is watch the numbers go up without doing anything about it. If the economy tanks, kiss almost every category goodbye somewhat evenly, lol.
If I had 10,000 BTC, 1,000 of them would have been sold as soon as it stabilized at $12 for a week or two. At $13, I'd sell another 500 and probably 250 more at every dollar raise that stays level for a week or more. Nobody knows what's really going to happen at the 25 BTC split and when ASICs come out but there are strong arugements each way. That's why I'd have half my BTC off the market by then just in case. If it goes up, you win, just slightly less. If it goes down, you also win because you pulled half of them early at a high price.
