All the Bitcoins ever mined are in only 1% of the Bitcoin addresses that have balances. Chances that you are a nocoiner = 99%

Bitcoin is the 1% rebranded.

Without liquidity "suckers" Bitcoin is usless to the early adopters.

http://www.investopedia.com/articles/04/042104.asp
The Scheme

As its name indicates, the pyramid scheme is structured like a pyramid. It typically starts with one person - the initial recruiter - who is on top at the apex of the pyramid. This person recruits a second who is required to "invest" a certain amount, which is paid to the initial recruiter. In order to make his or her money back, the new recruit must recruit more people under him or her, each of whom will also have to invest. If the recruit gets 10 more people to invest, he or she will make a profit with just a small investment.

Further, the new people become recruiters and each one is in turn required to enlist an additional 10 people, resulting in a total of 100 more people. Each of those new recruits is also obligated to pay their investment to the person who recruited him or her. Recruiters get a profit of all of the money received, minus their initial investment paid to the person who recruited them. The process continues until the base of the pyramid is no longer strong enough to support the upper structure, and there are no more recruits.

Out of the top 100 addresses 60 have never had an outgoing transaction?

That seems really strange to me...

>>1689717
I thought so too. But of those 100 every single one is shown as having had an incoming transaction in 2016. Who the fuck would continue to put BTC into an inactive wallet?

>>1689613
I think it goes the other way. A lot of the richest addresses are probably just the same people opening different wallets to spread their risk out. I'd be very surprised if there's more than 50 owners among those 100 addresses. There's 21 wallets with an even 10k BTC in them and a bunch of other very even numbers higher up the list. It's obvious they're just distributed storage and not individual people. If there's no cost associated with opening a new wallet, there's essentially no reason to keep all your wealth in one place with very high risk of loss and tracability.

The shills absolutely *love* that picture. It's the easiest tell for someone you shouldn't take seriously. We had a time a few months back when there was always a thread up with that as OP. And when you confronted them about how it's cherry-picked bullshit they'd let the thread drop off and make another the next day.

Still don't know what they're getting out of it though. Shitcoins you can manipulate by roping a few idiots in, but BTC is far too big for that. It must be either pure memery or some sort of personal need for validation, because I can't for the life of me figure out a rational reason why anyone would aggressively shill BTC on here in almost 2017.

Not hard to believe. If I had that much BTC, 60% at minimum would be in a hardware wallet that had never been in contact with the internet, with the private key encrypted and hidden in plain sight in case the hardware wallet is lost or destroyed.

What are you on about? I think BTC is sweet and being jealous of other peoples' gains is a path to certain madness. Hindsight's always 20/20. Do you look at the previous day's best performing stock and start getting angry and writing online posts about not having bought it? Fuck no, good on whoever saw the light and did!

That image is still cherry-picked bullshit btw. I can't find my old copypasta and I'm too lazy to type a new wall of text. The gist of it was: There's probably about a three times as long list of properties of currencies. They just took the ones that make BTC look good and even fudged a few of those: BTC is far from durable, no-where near as easily transactable as fiat and what the fuck does "smart (programmable)" even mean as a "trait of money"?

Like any other currencly BTC has some properties where it excells and some properties where it's god awful. Omitting the latter is ignorant (or malicious) shilling. A blockchain currency is not "objectively superior". It's simply *different* - superior in some aspects and inferior in others.

Correct. For companies, exchanges, organizations which actually represent 1000's of individuals. There's certainly some whales out there who own 10,000+ coins but to suggest the top 50 addresses are owned by 50 individuals is lunacy.

>>1690392
This.

It's also worth noting that when you spend from an address you reveal the public key. Unspent from addresses are technically more secure as "breaking in" would require both ECC + SHA256 to be broken simultaneously.

ECC alone breaking (before bitcoin abandons the algorithm) would tank bitcoin's value anyway so it's probably a moot point but if you're holding thousands of coins why not?

That's why you get in, make your gains, and leave the table :P. This is the second bitcoin cycle I've made bank on (First time bought in at $550, sold at $850, this time bought in at $700, Sold half today, will sell the other half once it hits 1k).

Don't get caught holding the bag, the problem is it's really hard to exercise self control or stick to a strategy when you're in the money. Now if bitcoin moons will I be annoyed? Sure. But the odds of it mooning to $1500 to me are lower than it crashing again.

Can't wait to see all the greedy coiner's coping, meanwhile smart coiner money has already handed off the bag.

I've made hundreds on my own.

The amount of wallets in existence means absolutely nothing, because I could literally go generate millions of them right now.

I like BTC but I see it as digital gold and a failure as a currency. You are not going to buy any of those things with BTC because the 1MB block size limit had pushed the fees for using it too high. Bitcoin can't compete with cash or debit cards, it is just for speculation and storing wealth.

As everyone who is not completely ignorant about bitcoin knows, the number of possible addresses is practically infinite and generating an address is easier than taking a fart. In fact the use of multiple addresses and one time addresses for transactions is normal practice for many reasons. Hence it's only natural the large majority of addresses are empty.

The OP is literally equivalent to claiming the countless numbers of physical wallets decomposing in landfills prove fiat is unevenly distributed.

the point of bitcoin is to be a decentralised form of payment that you can perform digitally. it has value, thus distribution will be uneven and based on how early you adopted it, how much money you initially had to buy in, and how smart you were trading it. no one wants bitcoin to be some communist equal-oppotunity bs, if thats what it was it wouldn't be worth anything and it would have failed.

>> No.1696898

>>1696882
But it's not decentralized.

The exchanges = centralized
The mining = centralized
The news = centralized
The main forums = centralized

All set in place to protect the image no matter what it takes.

How much you want to bet that the concentration of wealth indicated in the coin distro pic has anything to do with the centralization structure.

Decentralization wording was bait to attract cheerleaders.

It worked.

>> No.1696926

>>1696898
doesnt matter, still more decentralised than the existing solutions. mining centralization is only an issue if something like bitcoin unlimited or some other miner-controlled fork of bitcoin comes into play. exchanges have to be centralized if you want high liquidity and fast fiat<=>crypto exchanges. "news" and "forums" arent centralized at all, people just go where the largest community is, which is the entire point of a discussion board.
