Uhm, what? How did you come up with the conclusion about bitcoin being a scam just with that statement?
Also, take note that the biggest wallets that contain the biggest number of bitcoins doesn't automatically mean 1000 people own 85% of all bitcoin. Take note that exchanges are a part of that 1000(assuming this statistic is actually true), hence, it doesn't mean that 1000 people own 85% of BTC. Take note that the top exchanges has A LOT of users. We're talking multi-millions here. Binance itself was gaining a few million of users per week just sometime last year. Think about it.
1000 addresses hold 85% of all BTC =/=(not equal to) 1000 people hold 85% of all BTC
