'' less than 2 % of accounts control 95 % of all available Bitcoin supply ''
If this is supposed to be a criticism of BTC, it not only is misguided, but its also incorrect.
Lets use some common sense here and look at the evolution of gold. The very first person ever to find gold had 100% of all available gold. The second person to find (or receive) had either 0-100% of the total available gold, depending on the amount he received, and on it went. When a new and decentralized currency is born, you will always see a concentrated distribution that then is slowly dissipated. Think about how the energy of a rock thrown into a lake radiates waves, or how a drop of dye in a bucket of water slowly dissipates from its originally centralized source.
Second, bear in mind that the global concentration of wealth in fiat currency is highly skewed. I am sure you have heard the phrase of 1% of people owning "99% of the world's total wealth". (One reason for this is that fiat money is "printed" at a centralized source, and those closest to the source (leaders, politicians, bankers, power players etc) get the greatest access to it before it "trickles down" (only to be effectively stolen by those in power by further printing of it).
Third, it is not (for a range of reasons) possible to actually accurately measure BTC's individual ownership concentration. But a more likely correct estimate that around 80% of BTC in the top 20% of holders of BTC. Bear in mind also that such stats can be skewed due to "lost coins" of earlier holders, and of course Satoshi's stash (which one can equate with a ship of gold lost in the ocean, that we know exists, but that we also know that no-one is ever going to find). What we do know is that the masses are increasingly getting some BTC adoption, and that the total number of individual holders is rapidly growing. But this will become increasingly more expensive over time. One can still get 1000 Satoshi's for around USD 39 cents, but we an expect Satoshis to get for more expensive over time if demand for them grows. But the class of global "one-coiners" is becoming increasingly rare.
DooM - It is good to be skeptical of things, and to carefully question investment options, but we should not make (or blindly repeat) false statements, or draw incorrect conclusions. Having said that, good on you for raising this concern here, and allowing me to address it. (This 2% / 98% claim was was not one of the many false "objections" Mr A raised back in the day on his journey to Bitcoin acceptance, so I am glad it could be addressed now by me here...
