Bitcoin under pressure that mentions some recent developments that attracted more attention to Bitcoin as well as put more pressure on it. However, all the cheer and excitement that surrounds Bitcoin especially last month, overshadows more sober and rational views on Bitcoin that should profess its future.
Still there are all this talk about people making tons of money. So who are these freshly minted milliners? As in any Gold Rush people who sell shovels are among ones who certainly make money. Bitcoin is not any different as described in this article.
If you wonder whether there are any Bitcoin owners milliners read what Businessweek has to say on the subject.
Owners store their Bitcoins in electronic wallets, which are identified by a long string of letters and numbers. The wallet 1933phfhK3ZgFQNLGSDXvqCn32k2buXY8a, for example, currently owns 111,111 Bitcoins, which amounts to more than $15 million sitting on someone’s hard drive. Whose hard drive is a mystery: While anyone can view the wallets, the owners’ identities are not public. As of April 2, there were about 250 wallets with more than $1 million worth of Bitcoins. The number of Bitcoin millionaires, though, is uncertain—people can have more than one wallet.
