Exchange wallets
This. But that friend is making up numbers or being lied to.
you know how it is, I sent him a list of trusted sources for him to get info from n he wanted to go about it his own way so who knows who heβs listening to on YouTube or twitter Iβm glad heβs coming back n asking me if itβs true tho
Probably yes.
Also, estimate from glass node, about 5million coins are lost.
Wait until he finds out Satoshi holds about 1million.
yeah Iβve been digging into glass node data, sent him this article https://insights.glassnode.com/bitcoin-supply-distribution-revisited/ you think itβs good enough ?
That kind of hurts my feelings. I have some serious work to do.
Not really true 
This is great!! Really appreciate it, glad nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en is out here doing great work
Who is patoshi?!
The term wallet and address get mingled often.
A user with a private key (mega password) controls a wallet (software) that can generate many public addresses (public key).
One address can hold as many Bitcoin as the user who owns control of the address wants to send to it (not recommended, bad operational security, makes you a target).
Exchanges and individuals are on the same playing field when it comes the tools available in the realm of Bitcoinβs code.
