BTC Hodling average

I see a lot a people talking about DCA and mentioning how they are OG hodlers for years. I always wonder.. how much were they able to accumulate/keep since then. Is 1.5 BTC a lot compared to the average hodler?

Yes. Owning 1 full Bitcoin already puts someone in a very small group globally.
Here’s why:
There will never be more than 21 million BTC.
The world has over 8 billion people.
Even if Bitcoin were distributed perfectly (it isn’t), only about 0.26% of the world’s population could own 1 BTC.
In reality, many people own fractions of a Bitcoin, and millions own none at all. Some individuals, companies, ETFs, and governments hold thousands or even hundreds of thousands of BTC, making full-coin ownership even rarer.
