And no, there is no way to know who has the most amount of bitcoin, so this thread is useless, there is no way to check it and see who is the most millionaire in here, lol.
Just imagine, a lot of people would try to hack that poor guy's wallet..

There are some ways to narrow down the list of people who own the largest wallets and there are certainly some wallets that have already been identified, and a few even labelled by their own users. Notably some large sites and exchangers' so-called cold wallets are known.

Keeping your address private is just that. Privacy. Your wallet being visible doesn't actually decrease your security. Otherwise the transparency of the blockchain would be a flaw.

So, don't pity the guys in this list. You can try and hack their wallets all you want.

What i like about this list is that despite the hash power concentration we still have a very wide dispersion of BTC over several wallets. If big holders have several wallets or not is still to be known. This also confirms that it is very difficult to hold above certain price ups. we are only human. It´s quite unlikely that someone holds a coin from cents to 5k and doesn´t sell.

This is correct, but at the same time you need to understand, if you bought bitcoin for a few cents and then it was worth 10 dollars then most people will sell at that point, no one thought that bitcoin will reach these levels, I have seen some very old threads where people were happy that bitcoin reached parity with the dollar, and now when you think about it that sound ridiculous but can you imagine how ridiculous are going to sound our conversations when people read our conversations 10 year in the future.
