$BTC The largest holders of Bitcoin (BTC) in the world can be divided into three main categories: individuals, private entities, and governments. Here is an updated summary of the main holders:

---

1. Individuals ("Bitcoin whales")

These are early investors or large buyers who control enormous amounts of BTC. Some known names:

Satoshi Nakamoto (the anonymous creator of Bitcoin):

Estimated between 1.1 and 1.2 million BTC (never moved).

Current value: over $60 billion (according to market price).

Tim Draper (venture capitalist):

Acquired 29,656 BTC in a U.S. government auction.

Michael Saylor / MicroStrategy:

Saylor personally owns ~17,732 BTC.

MicroStrategy (the company he leads) owns more than 214,000 BTC (further down in entities).

---

2. Entities and companies

These organizations have accumulated large reserves as part of their financial or investment strategies:

MicroStrategy:

~214,400 BTC (the largest corporate reserve in the world).

Purchased since 2020 onwards.

Tesla (although it has sold some):

Owned ~10,500 BTC (after some sales).

Block.one (the company behind EOS):

Estimated at 140,000 BTC.

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC):

At its peak, managed over 600,000 BTC for institutional investors.

Binance and other exchanges (like Coinbase, Bitfinex, Kraken):

Although they technically hold BTC on behalf of users, the addresses controlled by exchanges like Binance contain hundreds of thousands of BTC.

---

3. Governments

Some governments have confiscated large amounts of BTC in judicial operations:

United States (US Marshals/DOJ):

Has seized over 200,000 BTC in total.

Sometimes auctions them (as in the case of Silk Road).

China:

It is estimated to have seized ~194,000 BTC following the PlusToken case in 2019.

It is unclear whether they sold them or continue to hold them.

#CryptoRoundTableRemarks A cryptocurrency roundtable has several important objectives and benefits, both educational and strategic, depending on the audience and purpose of the event. Here's what this type of activity achieves:

---

1. Dissemination of knowledge and financial education

Up-to-date information on blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, regulation, and the economy is provided.

It helps reduce misinformation or fear (FUD) around topics such as Bitcoin, scams, or volatility.

---

2. Generate dialogue between key sectors

It brings together diverse voices: technologists, regulators, investors, and users, allowing for a better understanding of the ecosystem from different angles.

It fosters dialogue between the private, public, and citizen sectors.

---

3. Identify opportunities and risks

It allows for the detection of emerging trends and new business or investment opportunities.

Risks such as cybersecurity, strict regulation, and economic uncertainty are analyzed.

---

4. Promote informed policies and regulation

Regulators or authorities can use these spaces to listen to the ecosystem before making legal or fiscal decisions.

A fairer, more adaptable, and secure framework for the development of emerging technologies is promoted.

---

5. Connect key stakeholders and foster collaboration

It is an ideal space for networking among entrepreneurs, investors, academics, and users.

It can lead to alliances, joint projects, or subsequent events.

---

6. Visibility and positioning

Whether you are an organizer, speaker, or sponsor, a roundtable positions you as a thought leader or reference on crypto issues.

For media outlets, universities, or companies, it improves reputation and public presence.

---

In short:

A roundtable on cryptocurrencies not only informs, it builds community, drives innovation, and guides decisions in a rapidly evolving sector.

Investing in Ethereum (ETH) can be a valid option, but whether it is suitable or not depends on several personal factors and the market context. Here is a summary of the key points to make an informed decision:

Advantages of investing in Ethereum

1. Solid technological foundation: Ethereum is the leading platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).

2. Mass adoption: It is the most developed ecosystem in the crypto world, used by thousands of projects (DeFi, NFT, games, etc.).

3. Constant updates: With the transition to Ethereum 2.0 (proof of stake), it has become more energy-efficient and scalable.

4. Liquidity: It is one of the most traded cryptocurrencies in the world.

Risks and considerations

1. High volatility: Its price can vary greatly in a short period.

2. Uncertain regulation: Laws regarding cryptocurrencies are constantly changing in different countries.

3. Competition: Other projects like Solana, Cardano, or Polkadot compete with Ethereum in application development.

4. Requires technical knowledge: To make the most of Ethereum, it is useful to understand at least the basics of how smart contracts and Web3 work.

Is it a good idea for you?

Ask yourself these questions:

Are you willing to take risks?

Do you know or are you interested in learning about crypto assets?

Can you hold the investment for the long term (years)?

Are you diversifying your portfolio or betting everything on a single asset?

Conclusion

Ethereum is a strong project with a lot of potential, but it is not a guarantee of return. It is advisable to invest only what you are willing to lose, and if possible, consult with a financial advisor.

#AltcoinSeasonLoading Cryptocurrencies can increase in price without Bitcoin rising or serving as a direct reference, but in practice, this is not very common and depends on several factors:

1. Bitcoin Dominance

Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency with the highest market capitalization and, therefore, has a strong psychological and financial effect on the rest of the ecosystem. Many investors use Bitcoin as a general indicator of the crypto market.
However, there are cases where some altcoins (alternative cryptocurrencies) have had significant increases even when Bitcoin was stable or bearish.

2. Market Cycles (Altcoin Season)

At certain stages of the market cycle, especially after significant increases in Bitcoin, investors often rotate capital towards altcoins, causing them to rise even when Bitcoin is stable or slightly decreasing. This is called altseason.

3. News and Specific Developments

Some cryptocurrencies rise for specific reasons, such as:

Releases of new versions of their technology.

Relevant business partnerships.

Listings on major exchanges.

Changes in regulation that favor them.

For example, tokens like Chainlink (LINK), Solana (SOL), or Ethereum (ETH) have experienced increases driven by their own activity, even without immediate correlation to Bitcoin.

4. Specific Markets or Niche Tokens

In smaller or specialized markets (such as gaming, DeFi, or NFTs), certain tokens can move independently based on the activity of their ecosystem.

---

In summary: yes, it is possible for a cryptocurrency to rise without Bitcoin doing so, but it is not the most common occurrence. Bitcoin remains the primary reference for the crypto market, and most altcoins tend to follow its direction, especially in strong movements.

#BTCPrediction It is not possible to predict the exact price of Bitcoin, but an analysis based on trends can be offered:

Bullish Factors:

Recent halving (April 2024): Historically, halvings reduce supply and tend to drive the price up in the following 12-18 months.

Increased institutional adoption: Investment funds and spot Bitcoin ETFs are attracting institutional capital.

Clearer regulation: In the U.S. and Europe, regulation is stabilizing, which could foster more confidence.

Bearish or risk factors:

Regulatory risks: Legislative changes such as the MEME Act (or other cryptocurrency regulations) can negatively impact the market.

Macroeconomic volatility: High interest rates, inflation, or geopolitical crises can negatively affect risk assets, including Bitcoin.

Technological competition: Faster or more scalable cryptocurrencies may attract attention and capital.

General prediction (conservative):

Short term (2025): Bitcoin may fluctuate between $55,000 and $90,000, with speculative peaks if the bull market continues.

Long term (2026+): If it maintains adoption and utility, it could surpass $100,000, but it is also vulnerable to corrections of 50% or more.

#NewsTrade El código de Bitcoin es de código abierto y está disponible en GitHub. A continuación, te muestro fragmentos simplificados del código real de Bitcoin Core (en C++), enfocados en aspectos clave del algoritmo:

---

1. Generación del hash de un bloque (SHA-256 doble)

En Bitcoin, cada bloque es identificado por un hash doble de SHA-256 (es decir, se aplica SHA-256 dos veces). Este fragmento representa ese proceso:

#include

uint256 Hash(const std::vector& data) {
unsigned char hash1[SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH];
SHA256(data.data(), data.size(), hash1);

unsigned char hash2[SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH];
SHA256(hash1, SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH, hash2);

return uint256(hash2); // hash final del bloque
}

---

2. Proceso de minería: prueba de trabajo

Este fragmento representa un bucle de minería: prueba diferentes valores de nonce hasta encontrar un hash válido con cierto número de ceros al inicio.

while (true) {
block.nNonce++;

uint256 hash = block.GetHash(); // aplica SHA-256 doble internamente

if (hash < target) { // target es la dificultad actual
// ¡Bloque válido encontrado!
break;
}
}

---

3. Validación de una transacción

Esto verifica si una transacción es válida (resumen muy simplificado):

bool CheckTransaction(const CTransaction& tx) {
if (tx.vin.empty() || tx.vout.empty()) return false; // entradas y salidas requeridas

// verificar que los valores de salida no sean negativos
for (const auto& out : tx.vout) {
if (out.nValue < 0) return false;
}

return true;
}
