). You should deduct it
). Whether he has lost the private keys or not is irrelevant. You should deduct this amount.
). Whether it means 108k or or 210k is a bit vague.
) of this forum owns 40k. Recently he had moved his coins to a new address but I guess he is still exclusively holding it.
TL;DR: At present only 80,000 people in the world (1 in every 20,000 people with the capability to do so) have a bitcoin holding valued at least $1,000.The intent of this thread is to find out and update the statistic on how bitcoins as investment/holdings are distributed according to the size of actual holding (note that this differs from the largest addresses -list).
The intent is not to try to identify individual holders or the size of their holdings.
Assumptions and conventions:
- Bitcoins are overwhelmingly controlled by individuals (ie. no significant corporate/public sector holdings exist); if bitcoins are held by an institution, they are credited to the beneficial owner(s)
- The brackets are logarithmic; the highest bracket is
BTC10,000+, second highest is 1,000-10,000, etc.
The consensus is as follows:
22. Oct 2013:
| #People | #Bitcoins | #TotalBitcoins |
| 100 | BTC10k+ | 5.5M |
| 900 | BTC1k-10k | 2.9M |
| 5000 | BTC100-1k | 1.6M |
| 31k | BTC10-100 | 1.0M |
| 167k | BTC1-10 | 0.5M |
| 1M | BTC0.1-1 | 0.3M |
| 3M | BTC0-0.1 | 0.0M |
Total: 11.8M bitcoins, 4.2M owners
80,000 people own bitcoins that are valued at more than $1,000 (
BTC5 or more).
