I have to assume there are tons of early adopters who mined and/or accumulated Bitcoins when it was much less valuable than it is today. Out of pure curiosity, does anyone knowledgeable have guesstimates:
1) How many Bitcoins do some of the richest Bitcoiners have?
I would guess in the 10s of thousands though I don't think really anyone has 100,000+ maybe a company though.

2) How many Bitcoiners have accumulated more than $1 Million U.S. dollars?
Several though not to many because very few people have been here since the beginning, who bought a lot at the beginning and held it the entire time. You'd have to be a true believer for that.

If you have any other interesting knowledge along these lines, I find the topic fascinating...
I do too Smiley

Everyone who transferred large BitCoins in the beginning (100-1,000) to buy items and 'pizza' are kicking themselves in the ass right now.
This early spending may have been necessary. Bitcoin might be where it is today if the very early adopters had all decided to hoard their coins.
Actually very good point - however, I think generally people will just use btc - and not for saving... which is just what is needed for mass adoption. There are some investors and miners etc who understand the potential future value, but luckily only "few" Wink

Yes, it is funny / desperate to think that someone have paid 10.000btc for pizza... I was just today thinking about that... however, actually better not to think so. Value was much different than now and very early times... somehow we´re now still at very early stage, so make sure you think how to use. I think better to save btc and just wait. Might be jackpot or just nice ride!

Dont know, but you will be one of those "rich" if you start investing asics now and upgarde continuosuly and save all of your bitcoins... until, let´s say you have 1000+btc. Let it take few years, meanwhile btc value increases against usd etc. and whoops... after five years you have at least few millions usd worth of btc - I guess actaully 1000 btc will be then more likely worth of 10.000.000 usd. So, nice hobby(!) And nothing so unsure as this...

If gov decide to forbidem the BTC value will cost 1 dollars
One single government cannot outlaw bitcoin as it is a worldwide cryptocurrency, all governments would have to ban it -
I guess as bitcoin gets adopted some govs regulates and adptes it in laws, however bitcoin will be very much unregulated as it will be actually up to users if they will wipe their as* with law and use bitcoins as they wish. And as it is world currency what one or many gov does - it does not matter too much as we have 2billion people alone in Asia just waiting for get introduced what bitcoin is.

This will give you an indicator http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/06/22/the-bitcoin-richest-accumulating-large-balances/

It has a few annoying adds though...
