Bitcoin is the first digital currency of the world. It is the most popular, notable and highest in market capitalization check on www.coinmarketcap.com..

Initial price value of bitcoin in July 2010 was $ 0.008. In first five days, the price grew 1000%, rising from $ 0.008 to $ 0.08 per bitcoin. After 1 year in July 2011 its price reached $31.00 and today Sept. 2017 bitcoin reached at $4,800 .

Becoming a Bitcoin millionaire is possible, but what does it take to become a bitcoin billionaire? Doing so would be incredibly difficult unless one was involved from the beginning – or if they created the currency themselves.

The name Satoshi Nakamoto is likely not the real name of Bitcoin’s creator, simply a pseudonym or nick name. Numerous attempts have been made to uncover the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin’s true identity, to no avail. Few records of Nakamoto exist other than e-mail correspondence records between him and Bitcoin developers. What is known about him however, is that he currently holds 1.1 million Bitcoins... do the math today. Now it reaches 1.1 million x $4,800 = $5.28 B holds by Nakamoto Satoshi

Finding information on Bitcoin millionaires can be difficult, though. Sometimes they don't want to be found, preferring to remain anonymous... and Bitcoin is cool with that. Listed below, instead of more Winklevoss', is a list of the Top 50 Richest Bitcoin Addresses, last updated at block 482558. Enjoy!

Bitcoin has undeniable potential to change the world. However, Bitcoin also has a sinister side. Its anonymous nature makes transactions nearly impossible track. Numerous black markets have appeared on the deep web selling drugs, contraband, and illegal services. The first of these markets was the Silk Road, created by Dread Pirate Roberts (Ross Ulbricht). Even before bitcoin was worth $1000, Dread Pirate Roberts was a Bitcoin millionaire several times over.

In September 2013, the FBI tracked Dread Pirate Roberts down. Their investigation led to American Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in prison for money laundering, hacking, and conspiracy to traffic narcotics. The FBI shut down The Silk Road, and seized over 144,000 Bitcoins then being held as escrow. As a result, the largest Bitcoin wallet in the world now belongs to the FBI.

In summary, Here are the top 52 holders;

Grand holder: Satoshi Nakamoto - held 1.10M BTC ($5.28B)
1st Runner-up: Ross Ulbricht/ FBI - held 144,000 BTC ($691.20M)

There are actually two documentaries I suggest you watch in relation to nakamoto and Dread Pirate Roberts
The one Currently on netflix is called Banking on Bitcoin - really facinating look at policy as well as early adopters and speculation on who Satoshi could really be.
Dread Pirate Roberts is explained in depth on the documentary Deep Web (which I believe is also on netflix)
It casts some serious doubt on if Ulbright was indeed DPR if the name didnt give it away.
Either way interesting movies related to this!

Thank you for your info of this. I will watch the video on Netflix.
