47 wallets hold 30% of all BTC ~ 50% of all BTC, so most likely 10 till 15 people.

See:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/distribution-of-bitcoin-wealth-by-owner-316297
http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top100


FTFY

Also , it's Percent of all bitcoins:   21.42% for the top 100.
So how about you get your facts right before sprouting non-sense?

You guys mean wallets or addresses?

How many people behind this wallets?

In bitcoin, how things are going, we are getting back to bizantine generals problem, having to trust miners to dont conspire, exchanges and payment solutions to make offblockchain transactions.

Ripple (or any fork) will clear transactions irreversably in seconds, and if you use XRP (the native ripple currency) you are using hard money, no trust needed.

IMO, its unfair to exclude ripple from any market cap for cryptos. Its a silly way to try to promote hoarded coins.

And in Ripple case you have to go back to... modern days lols , having to trust a company not to crew your life forever.

There should be somewhere a website to show the level of premine (or coins owned by the creator (group)), that would be awesome
So, how many BTC does Satoshi own exactly? Roll Eyes

And if we sum the four major BTC holders, how much % they control? 30%? More?

Ripplescam website is outdated and innacurate.

ripple is a very interesting project, far from being a scam, and splash project is trying to put mining into it.

BTC zealots are blinded by their stuffed BTC wallets yelling "lets make it happen", but BTC peak is happening right now, not in one year, when there will be a new sunrise.

I dont know what is coming next, but bitcoin is getting old and obsolete.

this hole Ripple vs. Bitcoin (centralistic versus P2P money)
reminds me how hopeless it is to convince a communist that a free market is the better soloution than a corrupt goverment.
In the end people decide.

99.5% of ripple is still owned by the developers.

So out of 100 billion coins only 500 million are in circulation.
Nope, wrong. About 10 billion have been distributed so far, 45 billion still to go.
Source:
http://k.ripplecn.org/list.txt (XRP balances of Ripple addresses)

What's your source for that 500 million circulation claim?

Also (unlike e.g. Bitcoins #13million - #21million) all XRP/NXT/MSC/... can theoretically be transferred and traded at any point in time, mined coins can be transferred only once they are mined.

The market cap of ripple with 500 million coins is 13.5 million.

When the Developers release more coins then the coins in circulation will go up but the price per coin will be negatively impacted because of greater supply.

This is the only fair way of comparing the market cap coins like Ripple, NXT, MSC to POW coins that can by mined by anyone.

I agree boycott coinmarketcap.

You know if you look on the top right corner of coinmarketcap.com, there is a button called "Filter Non-Mineable". When you click that Ripple disappear.  Smiley

Looks like ripple must of paid off the owner of coinmarketcap to display ripple as the 2nd most popular cryptocoin .We all know this is a lie as most ripple coins we created and are owned by the company that started it.

time to swtich over to a better site that doesn't count centralized , premined or intsamined coins


http://www.cryptmarketcap.com/
http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/coins/info


(original post from "Bossman")


ridiculus to add "scam non coin " Ripple to that list in my opinion.

You should bump this daily!

There's a market out there for someone to build a coinmarketcap clone that only lists decentralized/mined cryptos. They'll get an automatic audience.

I'd do it, but I don't have those skills.
 Grin

Already done , because of the overhelming demand of over 65% (20% neutral guys,15% premine fanboys)
http://www.cryptmarketcap.com/

Very good, but I have to ask the obvious question: Where is Litecoin??


LOL - Suddenly it's there!!
 Cheesy

I like Cryptmarketcap very much. Lots of info. Thanks for the link!

It was actually upsetting me seeing Ripple every time I looked at CoinMarketCap. Cryptmarketcap.com has replaced it in my bookmarks. I couldn't care less if Ripple is headed for the moon or uranus. I want no part of it.

.... That is a list of digital currencies. Not a list of currencies that are mined.
There is no definition nor for digital nor for cryptos that they have to be mined and not issued.
People try to force the principles of Bitcoin on all other coins , which is not right.
Yes if you see it like that it is "just" a list.
I see it not like that the site is very popular and has potential to influence people minds about the popularity of a currency.
I see the potential to influence new people to believe
the coins work like bitcoin. In fact they are the opposite. My position is this must be clear, otherwise it is not right.
There is no enfocing of principles. It is the other way around.
XRP,NXT,MST are abusing the Bitcoin trend, if they dont make clear to everyone, they work completely different.
By listing them together it seems for non nerds and newbies like they play in the same class.
The fact they are "minted" is a serious difference.

When it is just a list, then what speaks against it to also list Lindendollars and Amazoncoins?
So , the people behind ripple should post on coinmarketcap how ripple works?
LMAO.

If you want to know how ripple works you got to their website and learn from there.
Also , it has been debated in this forums so many times what ripple is and how it is different from Bitcoin I really don't get it how you (based on your reg date) still can say that.

And to your last argument , which is pretty pathetic , I think cmc should add also livejasmin credits.


It seems you are one of those humans which like to be enslaved.
Someone who is a submissive believer of the authorities.(because of diffuse fear)
So that is no wonder that people fall into XRP,NXT,MST because of their educated pavlovian conditioning in their childhood.
(Thinking centralistic systems are without alternative)

Your last sentence confirmed my concern.  Grin


My opinion is that you're one of those humans who fear everything that they don't know how it works.
If somebody buys nxt or xrp based on the a graph on a website and doesn't go and research first , they deserve everything bad that may come after this..

But if they go and do their learning and still like it , what's your problem ?
Put down your pitchfork!
If I buy mastercoins , I'm submitting to the government?
And further more , what the hell is your problem if people are believing in their government?

Freedom of speech my friend , and freedom of opinion , and funny enough  you're fighting against those principles.
