Nice list of addresses of actors who are too lazy to spread their coins over a lot of different wallets. Also surely coinbase, bitstamp and chinese exchanges have their addresses listed there, which in theory does not make them rich because they are not their coins but their users'.

i agree. i also dont know what to make of these lists. personally, i spread my coins out earlier this year. i am no longer in one category, but rather now represent ~100 entries in lower categories. these lists are addresses that want to be known (ie, large aggregates of many peoples coins) or some big holders. but clearly, the numbers of large individual holders is bigger than we think.
