That low? š¤Æ
i was actually being generous.
Nocoiners ngmi š
I donāt get why the number would be so low. Itās been 15 years.
this number will only decrease. if you think about it, bitcoin being a few million dollars per coin in the next few yrs will make it much harder for even wealthy individuals to be wholecoiners, let alone self custody it.
I get I will keep decreasing but 30k is low globally but my perception may not be reality. I just donāt get how the number is currently so low.
If this number is true in 2025 then the idea of freedom money is dead within 10 years if we cannot grow that stat dramatically.
Are you counting multi-sig services like unchained in that as well?
Hard to differentiate but my estimates are based on true independent self-custody without any external services or custodians. There are much larger number of individuals holding 1+ btc on exchanges.
I know individuals with 10+ bitcoin exposure entirely on exchanges.
With options like Onramp, I really just donāt understand that decision even if you canāt get all the way to self-custody.
This also explains why weāre still barely above $100k
Call me a heretic, but I donāt buy the massive paper bitcoin narrative
Exchange holdings just suck, why not own ETF if thatās what you want?
The few, the proud, the bitcoin sovereigntists
58k eventually
Probably just us plebs on Nostr.
Iād guess >50k humans.
Except me. I lost it all. Starting off zero again.
