These Are the 5 Richest Bitcoin Owners

The parabolic structure in which the Bitcoin price is growing is revealed illustratively on this legendary tweet by Greg Schoen:

The Bitcoin billionaires know one thing per sure: Patience is the key to success. If Greg once had that, then he would now also be represented in this list. Here are the five richest Bitcoin Hodler.

“And the Oscar goes to”: Satoshi Nakamoto. According to estimates, the author of the Bitcoin White Paper has between 600,000 and one million BTC. In the last bull run’, that would be more than $19 billion (assuming the one million estimate). This would make the legendary figure one of the richest people on earth. However, it is unlikely that Mr. X will ever launch his coins on the market. Because that would have fatal signal effects and a price fall into the bottomless consequence.

As a generally popular likeness serves, as a rule, the portrait of Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto. The US citizen with Japanese roots vehemently denies having ever been involved with Bitcoin.

Man Denies He’s Bitcoin Founder

The fact that Satoshi did not have a permanent job during the period in question sounds rather suspicious…

The Winklevoss brothers are one of the first Bitcoin billionaires. After their Harvard degree in 2004, they first worked on their social media platform ConnectU. It can not be denied that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was inspired by the platform; a court partially approved the Winklevoss story and awarded the twins with $65 million in compensation.

Gradually, they invested in Bitcoin. And with such dedication that Cameron and Tyler were able to accumulate a whole percent of the entire BTC supply.

Here is their Reddit AMA:

In the list of the five most bullish bitcoin forecasts, we can say that Draper comes in a respectable third place: $250,000 per unit of digital gold by the end of 2022.

Such a “moon price” would especially benefit Draper himself. Since he facilitated the US government with tens of thousands of Bitcoins in 2014, the venture capitalist and founder of Draper University has assets of at least 30,000 BTC.

Gavin Andresen may not have invented Bitcoin, but he has shaped him like no one else. Satoshi himself said to have chosen the founder of the Bitcoin Foundation 2010 as his successor.

How many BTC the Core Developer actually has is not known. However, since the early days of the Foundation, it has been common practice to pay salaries in cryptocurrency #1. Since then — we can be assuming that he Hodl.

Yes, you read it right: since law enforcement authorities have massively cracked down a ring of organized crime in May 2017, the country is sitting on a gold treasure. Since then, more than 213,000 BTC have been owned by the state — enough to repay a quarter of the national debt in one fell swoop.

So far, the Bulgarian Treasury hustles the coins still diligently. Efforts to launch the incriminated BTC are unknown.
