Tanks for the constrictive comment, it would be my pleasure to answer it:
I learned from the study conducted by the chainalysis that Five million bitcoins (one third of available supply)

and i can't help but notice the numbers you quoted don't even amass to 2 million let alone 5.


You mean the "six largest bitcoin holders don't even amass to 2 million "?  that is the biggest known bitcoins holders that I found in the net, I am sure that there might be bigger holders, but their identity is unknown, I added them just as an interesting fact to know.

7.4 million in total long-term investment.
now i am confused. you said 5 million now you say 7.4? what am i missing here.

One thousand it is the investors which has big amounts of bitcoins in their wallets, they have got 5 million, the rest 2,4 million belongs to small investors, that are holding a little amounts of BTC.



1. Satoshi Nakamoto - 1 000 000 bitcoins, which are still untouchable.
an estimate not facts. so it can not be accurate.



I did not know that, you mean that there in no one address with 1 000 000 bitcoins on it? There is many, which thought to belong to Satoshi?


3. Mt.Gox - 166 000 bitcoins, 34 000 of them were recently sold collapsing thereby the market.
4. FBI — they confiscated 144,000 bitcoins from Silk Road.
you started this by calling them "long term investors" how did these two end up being "investors"?


As a said, I added them because I thought that it is interesting to know.
