Re: Who are the richest Bitcoin users and how much do they own?
It's none of our business who has what.
Please let everybody decide for themselves what their business is and what not.
As I said before, knowledge about large holders is vital information in any market. I am very interested in who the largest Bitcoin holders are, how much they have and what their intentions are.
Yes it is 'my business' because I own bitcoins and I care about their value. The actions of large owners can have direct effects on the price my Bitcoins and it is thus of high importance to me to know as much as I can.
With out the names, this information is useless!! I do not think anyone should know this information because it just opens these people up to scams and hacking opportunities. It is insane the extent people will go to try to rip someone off from what is theirs.
It shows us the minimum amount that one entity controls in a single address. So obviously the richest Bitcoiners own much more than that, which I find kind of frightening.
I think the largest addresses (those p2SH ones) are cold wallets of exchanges.
