40 million Bitcoiners hold at least one Satoshi



Bitcoin seems to be more and more accepted, as there are now more than 40 million addresses that hold small balances of at least one Satoshi.


The number of wallet addresses holding more than one Satoshi has now passed the 40 million mark. One satoshi is equal to 0.00000001 BTC and is the smallest transaction unit that is stored on the blockchain. In 2021, it was mainly the number of addresses that increased with a maximum of 0.01 BTC.


A comparison of the Bitcoin numbers

About 20 million addresses now own at least 0.001 BTC, an increase of almost 100% since 2019. At the time, it was only 11.5 million. The number of addresses that have up to 10 BTC has even increased by 100,000 compared to 2019.


There are now 10 million addresses with a maximum credit of 0.01 BTC. That's a 34% increase from 7,305,539 to 9,848,972 since 2020 and almost doubling compared to 5,530,858 addresses in 2019. Looking at these numbers, it can be concluded that retail investors are likely to be most likely to benefit from the increase of addresses with smaller credit balances (up to 0.01 BTC) are responsible.


The addresses that have at least 10,000 BTC are likely to be custodial wallets . It is unlikely that large companies and institutional investors would use private keys and would rather leave this task to central exchanges.


The Bitcoin Macro Image

It should be noted that an address is not to be equated with a user. A user can have several addresses, for example to increase the security of transactions. Therefore, one should only draw conclusions from these figures with reservations. What is safe to say, however, is that ownership of BTC has increased overall.


The addresses themselves do not say anything about who is responsible for this increase. Although there are forensic tools that can relate the addresses to specific activity. Companies like Elliptic and Chainalysis use their forensic skills to help with police investigations, for example, to track the flow of BTC through various wallets, exchanges and other channels.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
