As of Jan. 14 we already have 784,000address that owns 1 bitcoin or more. The number is already had an 11% increase from 707,000 that is recorded a year ago. In 2015 has more than doubled. Most of the address came from exchanges and big player "whales" that usually hold a big amount of bitcoin.
For me, this is great news since bitcoin is influencing a lot of users, as the number increases meaning the community is already getting bigger surely when a lot of people invested in bitcoin it could easily increases the market price of the bitcoin because of the supply and demand thing.
In my experience, it is not easy to earn 1 bitcoin so I think most of them are investors.
What is your opinion about this? How does it affect bitcoin?
Yeah, good thing crypto is becoming popular but have we thought about it that what if some whales doesn't want to be tracked or look suspicious so that they can manipulate the market. It's very easy to set up a crypto wallet and most people always more than 1 wallet.
an increase in users means that the volume also rises, therefore many new users have a positive impact.
No. That's actually wrong because no volume can be made if they decide to hold and not trade. There's always a volume where there's a trade.
