According to Bloomberg, as few as 1,000 people may own around 40 percent of all existing #Bitcoin. Who are these people? Do you have any ideas?

very interesting indeed,,, I've often wondered this exact question,,, just how "centralized" is bitcoin ownership,,,, not that I have any (maybe $6 worth).

I like:
ETH
EOS
COB
IOTA
ADA
STEEM

I also am keen to know how to find out how diversified the ownership of each cryptocurrency is? @I-am-mark (not sure if @ works I'm new to steem) :).
