About 40 percent of bitcoin is held by perhaps 1,000 users

Got any data to go with your wild assertion?

Not that I think you're _wrong_, mind you. I just think you're spouting nonsense. I bet you never questioned where you heard that 'statistic'. amirite?

Well, if the pareto principle applies to bitcoin holdings, then the square root of bitcoin users hold half the coins. And the square root of those people hold half of their coins. Go from there.

Umm.. That's not data.

Yes it is. It applies to every area of human productivity that we have examined so far. It's less a matter of proving it than of disproving it at this point.

OK, seeing as you are barging in here with yet another assertion, how many bitcoiners are there?

Dunno, but millions at this point. How many is the question.

And the square root of millions is...?
