Ask HN: Will Bitcoin Create Our First Trillionaire?

• sharemywin 9y ago
  The largest bit coin address has 130,248.45240828 BTC so for it to reach 1T USD. 1 BTC would need to be worth 7.7M USD.

    That is a single address. Isn't it very reasonable to assume that persons with the most bitcoins will have them distributed among multiple addresses?

    Yeah I think the largest owners have between 100k to 300k BTC supposedly. Also, Satoshi Nakamoto has 1 million BTC. 1st market cap is $8 trillion (gold), then next is $200 trillion (currencies). This doesn't include devaluation of the FIAT currencies in between. So it is definitely possible on paper.

  It might, there are few crypto-billionaires who have a big headstart now in investing in other things.
