Nothing says BTC is "decentralized" quite like less than 2% of addresses controlling 93% of it







Looking at how few addresses own it, it seems the sudden rise is nothing but hype yet again that will eventually crash down. Rinse and repeat.

I’ll stick with physical gold, thanks. But that’s just more for you, anyway!


Might as well go bury the gold in the backyard. You generally don’t make money with gold or silver over time; it treads water versus the value of everything else.

It appears to be worth more because it takes more dollars to buy an ounce over time.

Milk was $0.75/gallon in 1947.

You would pay for it back with a US Quarter that contained 0.18 ounces of silver in it.

What is that same 0.18 ounces of silver contained in that silver quarter worth today?

Around $4.00

Close to what a gallon of milk costs.

(And I have over 5% of my net worth in bullion and rare coins)

Holders =/= controlling. There are no doubt whales that can swing their dick around from time to time to make some quick profits, but there are only a few wallets on that list that can cause an actual crash. Those are Satoshi's wallets, and he's likely dead.

No thanks, I’ll stick with consistent real assets like NFTs.

The creator controls the large piece of the pie, like most other crypto.

Your graph also starts with someone holding one. Being a world wide asset, not too many people have 47k in cash to buy a whole bitcoin.

Not a gotcha

Owned a little over 4 BC and 42 Ether that I purchased before the big dip. Stayed in the tank for well over a year until the comeback. Sold for around $18k profit a few months ago. Not bad for a relatively short term investment but, would've tripled my return if I'd waited another month. Frickin hindsight.

The anti bitcoin people are literally the opposite. If BTC drops 15% they come out of the woodwork.

Only up about 150%. The FTX implosion in November 2022 was not fun for most of us.


And after the first attempt of an exchange market showed the industry to be an even larger scam, why did you think they would change and get it right?

I used the doge surge to have the down payment to my house. I profited because I saw that these aren’t currencies but brands. Because they trend like brands over popularity than country political moves.

I just don’t see why everyone gets back in is all. Seems like everyone is talking profits but then is also holding the bag when the time to get out happens.

The whole “to the moon” holding strategy is a play so the bigger players get out with your new money coming into the market chasing the fad.

I may be interested, tattoo dependent. Is the ink work high quality? Is the ink organic and locally sourced?

I don’t follow.

Wouldn’t the 75¢ in silver quarters be .18 x 3 = .54 oz of silver X $23/oz = $12.42?

That’d be a few gallons of milk.
