 Dear Matt, do you know who could be these entities that hold 92.73% of supply on just under 2% of addresses. I mean that is more than 18.1M coins!

 IT IS A COMBINATION OF EXCHANGE WALLETS, SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUALS, AND LOST COIN.

AS PURCHASING POWER INCREASES SO SHOULD DISTRIBUTION SINCE BITCOIN WEALTHY CANNOT PRINT MORE BITCOIN AND WILL SPEND BITCOIN ON THINGS THEY NEED. 
 YEP MATE, THOSE COINS DO NOT GIVE THEM MORE CONTROL OVER THE PROTOCOL AND THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. 

BITCOIN DISTRIBUTION WAS FAIR AND WHEN 93% OF THE SUPPLY HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN FIRST 15 YEARS, I GUESS ITS NORMAL THAT WE HAVE SUCH OWNERSHIP RATIO AND ENTITIES THAT GOT FABULOUSLY ENRICHED DURING THAT PERIOD. 

ONWARD NEXT 15 YEARS! 
 They will borrow dollars against their bitcoin for as long as possible. Distribution is going to take a while 
 It's right there 😉

 Its obvious but if you count you will see that more than 1M addresses hodL more than 18M coins, it would be very interesting who these guys are but, at the same time, its none of our fucking business. xD 
 One of them is Satoshi for sure, lol. 
 None of them is Satoshi since looks like he never re-used an address and he has thousands of addresses with 50-ish BTC each.

 Oh, that's interesting.  
 If you want an in-depth break down of distribution, this guy does a phenomenal job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOI0hXICKto 
 Did you really refer to James for anything? How about Solana distribution?! xD
