> There's absolutely no source to the claim that 40% is owned by 1000 people. Only at the very end of the article we see a lateral claim, that 17% of bitcoin is held in just 100 addresses. Yeah, I really dislike that the title sounds like it's a fact.

> Yeah, I really dislike that the title sounds like it's a fact. I do wonder how much people try to manipulate perception with media to serve their trading interests... fake news is so easy these days. Just look at what happened yesterday: a bunch of online news outlets output a bunch of speculation about the new 15,000 high, over the next 12 hours it created a sort of bubble going up to ~17,000 that popped and re-established it's original price point at ~15,000. It's possible the opposite is being attempted here: trying to create a short term crash bubble, so they can get ready to buy on the down, before re-establishing it's original natural market value.
