🚀**Unveiling the Bitcoin World: Only a Million People Own "Digital Gold", Who Are the Cryptocurrency Elites? **🔍
In the vast universe of digital currencies, Bitcoin is undoubtedly the most dazzling star. However, do you know that although there are 420 million cryptocurrency users worldwide, only 0.36% of them, or about 1.5 million people, actually own more than 1 Bitcoin! What kind of wealth secrets are hidden behind this? Let us unveil the mystery of the Bitcoin world together.
💎Bitcoin: Scarce "digital gold"
There are only 21 million bitcoins in total, and 93.32%, or about 19.59 million, has been mined. However, shockingly, 6 million of them have been lost in the corner of the digital world and cannot be recovered. This means that there are only 13.59 million bitcoins actually circulating in the market. In other words, at most 13.59 million people can own 1 bitcoin, 1 per person.
👑Wealth accumulation: a game for the few
However, the reality is far more cruel than this. According to the information on the chain, only 1.94% of the wallet addresses hold 92.76% of the bitcoins, and the total number of these addresses is only 1.02 million. At the same time, major exchanges also hold about 1.89 million bitcoins. But among them, there are not many retail investors. According to the 80/20 rule, we can infer that only about 378,000 retail investors in the exchange own 1 bitcoin, and the number of large investors is even smaller, only 94,500, but they own 16 bitcoins per person.
🌐Global perspective: Cryptocurrency elites only account for 0.36%
If we consider the on-chain addresses and exchange users as non-overlapping (although there is a high probability of overlap in reality), the number of people with more than 1 Bitcoin is 1.02 million + 472,500 = 1.4925 million. Even taking into account Bitcoin in financial institutions and other public chains, this number is only about 1.5 million. This only accounts for 0.36% of the global cryptocurrency users, which is rare!
