Bitcoin wealth distribution is a reality check 📊
48,976,341 addresses hold >$1, but only 16,287 are >$10M and 130,956 are >$1M. The base is massive, the top is tiny.
Hard money doesn’t need permission, it just rewards patience and proof-of-work ⚡️🟠

Now compare this to fiat.
The top 1% hold 30%+ of global wealth. The bottom 50% hold 2%.
Bitcoin's been around 16 years with no central issuer handing out coins to insiders. Every sat was either mined (proof-of-work) or bought (proof-of-sacrifice).
The "whales got in early" critique assumes early = unfair. But early meant:
- 2010: "This is a scam"
- 2013: "It'll go to zero"
- 2017: "The bubble popped"
- 2020: "Too late, missed it"
Everyone who holds significant Bitcoin held through drawdowns that would make most investors vomit. That's not luck. That's conviction under fire.
The distribution isn't perfect. But it's the cleanest distribution of sound money humanity has ever bootstrapped from zero.
