I don't give a shit about owning 5 or 10 bitcoins. I'll have hundreds of them or none.

So you don't "give a shit" to be among 10,000-30,000 world's richest. Top 100 or top 300 is the way to go. Yes, you seem to be a megalomaniac and a player. I think I could easily adapt to any of the levels, as could most of us.

* top 30 would have BTC5,000 or more (100 billion USD)
* top 300 would have BTC500 or more (10 billion USD)
* top 3,000 would have BTC50 or more (1 billion USD)
* the top 29,000 people would have 5,000mBTC or more, a huge fortune comparable to 100 million of today's dollars.
* the top 1 million people would have 500mBTC or more, corresponding to 10 million or more dollars
* 29 million people have at least 50mBTC, which puts them among the most affluent 0.6%, previously called 'millionaires'
* the upper middle class of 350 million people worldwide, owns 5mBTC or more
* lower middle class consists of 1 billion people is characterized by ownership of 0.5mBTC or more
* the lower class of (3+ billion) owns less than 0.5mBTC including people who don't have any or have negative worth.

I like your way of breaking it down.

I have been advocating to new comers to strive to attain the Bitcoin Millionth Club. Basically you need to own 21 btc, this will make you 1 in a million people on the earth who could possibly own 1 million of all future available bitcoins. Obviously we know the numbers will be massively different due to mining time and bitcoin loss over the years, but its an attainable number and would offer massive wealth in the future. Imagine you owned 1 millionth of several of the worlds largest countries currency? Happy days!

Although being a bull myself. I still don't think this kind of analysis makes sense. It's only meaningful if BTC is the only wealth in the world. Otherwise, it may help you to be rich, but these kind of ranking does not make sense. Bill Gates may have 0 BTC, but billions of fiats or microsoft shares. Kings in the middle east may have no BTC but have plenty of oil.

Don't read it any deeper than what it is: The distribution of bitcoins, if they are distributed in the same way as total wealth of the world is distributed.

To have the whole picture, we need to know, what % of the total wealth bitcoins represent. A quite long-shot would be that bitcoins are half the world's wealth, ie. valued the same as the Earth. Then you need to sell half of your bitcoins to obtain "your share" of the other wealth.

All in all, I think most that have BTC10,000 now, will only have about BTC1,000-BTC3,000 when it hits the highest value.
