I just ran a quick analysis on the blockchain.
Out of the 192386 blocks currently mined, very many of them
have a BTC 50 block reward that has never been spent.
To be exact, 41493 blocks have an unspent reward.
That is worth approximately BTC 2'074'650.00 (not counting fees).
That's 2 Million+ pristine coins hoarded, or about 20% of the BTC market cap.

Lots of smart people around here.
or: lots of extremely careless ones
(although I doubt it)nahh it is a nobrainer.
like buying a call option (with say 10-20 years before expiration) or shares of a 5$ stock (with known dillution schedule) that has decent chances to go to 10 000$. and with no counterpart risks.Just try to value Bitcoin like a stock. It easily worth 100-200$ right now.
