How many Bitcoin do you own? The 2022 Edition

in LeoFinance2 years ago (edited)

Dear Bitcoiners and Cryptonerds,

how is the Bitcoin distribution changing over time?

This table is from Oct. 2020...

...and this from today:

https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

Overall not too big changes, right? The categories are pretty stable (e.g. the addresses containing 1 to 10 BTC changed only from 9,28 to 9,18%). A bit more BTC are now in addresses with <0.01 BTC (app. 44000 vs. 35000), so a sloow progress towards more decentralization.

With Bitcoin, the Top 100 addresses have 15,45% of all coins.

If you compare this to Litecoin, here 40% are stored in the Top 100 addresses:

And with Dogecoin (DOGE), this value is >68% (source)!

2,5 years ago I have asked you already the exact same question as in the title, and then 1,5 years ago again.

The response was not that overwhelming (app. 13 responses each) , but at least there was some indication that in 2020 the average Hiver had more Bitcoins accumulated than in 2019:

The answer "I don´t want to disclose" is not represented in the graph.

In 2019, more than half of the respondants (5 of 9) had zero BTC, one year later that rate dropped to 33% (3 of 9).

So I would like to repeat the question, to see if there is a difference now, and hopefully getting more answers compared to the previous times!

How many Bitcoin do you own currently?

  • I don´t want to disclose
  • I don´t have any BTC
  • < 0,01 BTC
  • 0,01 to <0,1 BTC
  • 0,1 to <0,5 BTC
  • 0,5 to <1 BTC
  • 1 to <2.5 BTC
  • 2,5 to 5 BTC
  • more than 5 BTC

Just let me know in the comments (or via this ANONYMOUS SURVEY) and I will update the table in a week.

UPDATE:

Adding the 13 respondents of 2022 to the table:

Hard to interprete the trend over time with such a small sample (and very likely not the same people have answered). The anonymous survey didn´t trigger that much more answers (or was overlooked as I had not added it right away). I will try it again in 2 years.

Sort:  

My dog voted on the survey and voted for 1-2.5 BTC. I personally lost more on coinsmarkates, cryptopia and openledger than it owns. Made lots of poor decisions. It's not of any substantial value and is there for future children. Have a bad feeling that government thinks others deserve it more. This is why I will go for precious metals from here on.

There is only one correct answer: „too little“.

I own nothing and will be happy.

Wait,

did I be happy?

you must be so Happy

I lost all my Bitcoins at a boat accident 😭😭😭

oh, so should I take 0 then as entry? How did it happen, did you flush your smartphone into the water?

I see hive having more potential;
Answered the survey anonymously :)

Will never disclose how many Bitcoins I have but this seems like an interesting survey. If by any chance you can host it on some survey website where we can answer anonymously then that'd be great.

Good idea. Surveymonkey is a great tool, and anonymous, but not for me as host :)

That sucks! You can make a fake email id. I am sure there are other alternatives where you don't really need to disclose your personal details.

I just managed and added the link to the Survey!

I had to google the meaning of Fertig. :D

Where did that word appear?

At survey submission :)

I do feel the small sample size among hivers will cause the survey to be pretty skewed.

I don´t have the claim of a scientific paper. Besides, most of the actual science papers have one or the other biases, too :) I work in that field, so you can trust me.

Similarly in the past for me, the survey (cause I was looking at the number of past respondents) just reminds me of my past lecturers who will say the sample size is not representative etc etc yadda yadda. But the table of the holding percentage, yes that's lovely to see :)

Voted. officially and practically nothing, but I control LP shares created by adding BTC/XYZ on Yield Optimizer platforms. Cold Storage or on Exchanges == 0 for me.

Da ich den Sattel auf dem Ethereum gezurrt habe, warte ich geduldig, was da wohl geschehen mag.

Ich würde nicht alles auf ein Pferd setzen!

Damit hast du vollkommen recht. Um das jedoch so in die Tat umzusetzen und den Krypto-Markt in Wallung zu bringen, braucht es in meinem Fall einer wundersamen Kapitalvermehrung. :-)

Ha, I will proudly say that

  • I don´t have any BTC

geez :(

Did you fill in the online survey too? I don´t want to count a voice twice.

Noope, I didn't

Verschlüsseln geht wohl auf der Engine nicht, naja war auch mein Fehler, dass ich schon wieder Werbung für HIQS machen wollte :D

Sicher geht das, einfach mir 0,0001 Hive senden mit einem memo, dem "#" und ein Abstand zum Text vorangestellt ist. Oder eine peakd-chat-Nachricht.

vielleicht klappt es nicht weil ich keinen Abstand hatte, aber ich hab es in die Memo von dem einen HIQ, den ich dir vorhin geschickt hab, geschrieben

Oh, jetzt erst gesehen, danke! Und ja, ohne Abstand funktioniert es nicht.

For knowing quantity of Bitcoin for example, you should go to a YouTube channel of someone has millions of followers that write it such as question of community. What do you think?

I am not interested in the million fake followers of a celebrity, but in the Hive community.

Well, I would have to say that I own less than a whole BTC. I won't say how much though.

Hallo @stayoutoftherz, tut mir leid, dass ich etwas abseits des Themas kommentiere.
Der HiveBuzz-Vorschlag hat gestern die Finanzierung verloren und benötigt nur noch ein paar HP, um wieder finanziert zu werden?
Haben Sie etwas dagegen, dafür zu stimmen, damit unser Team seine Arbeit fortsetzen kann?
Es würde sehr geschätzt werden! Vielen Dank!
