It all started after Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper on October 31, 2008, called: “Bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system“. Much has happened since then.

The bitfinex and antminer pool peaked my interest. There must be also large holdings from other exchanges and pools such at poloniex, coinbase, and ViaBTC mining. Sad irony is the design of bitcoin was to decentralize currency but is failing to do so as many of these established entities are hodling a ton of bitcoin and only getting more as more people get into crypto.

It is a calculated estimate. I wonder if it is based on Moore's Law as technology advances it may likely be soon to reach 21 million in my opinion. Imagine if bitcoin is at 1 million a coin would it not then entice a lot more miners to hack away at bitcoin?
