Most bitcoin
if the cryptocurrency exchange is the largest bitcoin warehouse, people may not be surprised. 6.7% (about $9.8 billion) of bitcoin currently in circulation are held by cryptocurrency exchanges however, more interestingly, despite the long bear market, the bitcoin reserves of these exchanges have been increasing no matter "up or down"
in the past two years, BTC inventories of eight exchanges including Kraken, bitstamp and binance have increased steadily. This is in sharp contrast to the volatility bitcoin has experienced since March 2017. These largest bitcoin holders continue to have confidence in the cryptocurrency market and continue to increase their share regardless of market conditions
if you imagine yourself as a big fish in an infill pond, it may become easier in the future. As bitco reported a few weeks ago, the number of BTCs you need to be a whale may change over time. If you believe in some theories, holding a bitcoin may give you enough power to influence the market
although others disagree, they point out that one of the 21 million bitcoins is very "insignificant". So no matter what the situation is, no matter how many bitcoins you have, keep a positive attitude
The total number of bitcoins is 21 million
in 2009, when bitcoin was born, block reward was 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25
when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million

monetary characteristics
1. Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
2. Global circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
3. Exclusive ownership: private key is needed to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
4. Low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution
5, no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
6. Cross platform Mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
In 2009, when bitcoin first appeared, one dollar could buy 1300 bitcoins. In 2010, it was only $0.003. In November 2013, the highest price created by bitcoin reached 8000 yuan for the first time. In 2017, bitcoin's price rose wildly. In this year, bitcoin once created the highest price in history, with the highest value of about 20000 US dollars
that is to say, a bitcoin costs about 130000 yuan. According to the proportion, bitcoin has soared by 2.73 million times in eight years, becoming a well deserved proct with huge profits. According to the data of coindesk digital currency trading platform, the price of bitcoin once fell below $6000 in 18 years, and it has dropped 70% compared with the highest value of $20000 in 2017
with the decline of bitcoin, many digital currencies have been affected, with a decline of more than 10%. It has been less than 10 years since the development of digital currency. Many large enterprises can't compare with it. It can be seen that the future of digital currency is worth looking forward to
1) two American brothers, Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, claim to hold about 1% of bitcoin in the world? Now the total amount of bitcoin in the world is about 12 million BTC, that is to say, these two brothers hold about 120000 bitcoins. Maybe you don't think these are too valuable, but note that the starting price of bitcoin for these two people is below $10 / BTC. At the current market price of $430 / BTC, the yield is...... (2) Li Xiaolai claims that he is the first person in China to hold bitcoin, holding six digit bitcoin (no video link found.)
3) after the founder of the silk road was arrested, his 140000 bitcoin was seized by the FBI [2]
therefore, the people who have the most bitcoin should hold more than 1% of the world's total. This can be seen from the daily BTC holdings list
more systematic research comes from academia. The Israeli mathematician ADI Shamir (if the name is unfamiliar, he is the s in RSA algorithm) published a paper "quantitative analysis of the full bitcoin
transaction graph" in 2012, which analyzed the transaction records of the first 18000 blocks in the special currency system (as of May 13, 2012), This paper studies some interesting problems in bitcoin market
in their analysis results, at the end of the first 18000 blocks of chain, the entities with the most bitcoin holdings range from 200000 to 400000 BTC (the article does not give specific figures), and only one entity with more than 200000 bitcoin holdings. In history, the largest amount of money held was more than 500000 BTC, with two entities
note that "entity" is used instead of "person". In the analysis method of this paper, bitcoin wallets that may belong to the same owner are classified as the same entity. This entity may not only be a person, but also be a trading organization such as Mt. GOx
in addition, by analyzing the table of the most active entities given in the article, the income of the people with the most income (excluding expenses) is below 700000 BTC. In other words, the person who owns the most bitcoin will not hold more than 700000 BTC
