wow lmfao how can you still not get it??? THIS IS ADDING UP ALL THE WALLETS OWNED BY EVERYONE EVERYWHERE!
The movement's from address y to address x will not cause this calculation to move. $18mil is missing from bitcoin economy in total! Meaning address x to USD!!! Meaning it is gone from bitcoin. What is so hard to understand about that??? You are talking about the brackets because you are dumbs as rocks. I am talking about adding all the wallets in existence together, why is that so hard to understand? CEX,IO wallet + mining farms wallets + Tim Draper's wallet + everyone in fucking bitcoin.
There is now $18mil actual dollars less in ALL bitcoin wallets than one month ago.
The top owner went from 1.2% to 1.6% ownership in 1 day. God knows how many other wallets he own's too. Wake up people!!! You will be sorry if you keep buying!!!
WTF are you on about. There are NO "actual dollars" in any bitcoin wallet. Wallets have bitcoin balances, NOT dollar balances.
So, since you've managed to include "all" wallets, tell me, how many actual dollars do I have in my wallets? I have never even touched a dollar bill in my life.
Bitcoin's market cap is sometimes given a USD value, which is affected by two factors only: the amount of bitcoin in existence and the USD/BTC exchange rate. No movement between wallets affects this market cap, a value which also does not have that much meaning. The fact that a certain amount of bitcoin was just traded on an exchange at a rate of $382/bitcoin does not necessarily mean that every bitcoin in existance had a sudden shift in value.
Currently, money is flowing INTO the Bitcoin economy. Money is spent on mining hardware and electricity and VC money is creating new infrastructure and expertise in the Bitcoin economy.
