In its 16th year of existence, Bitcoin has left a significant footprint by raising the number of US dollar millionaires to staggering numbers. Recent data reveal that the number of wallets with at least $1 million in btc has experienced an impressive 300% increase since early 2023.

At this time, Bitcoin is positioned as the ninth most valuable asset in the world, commemorating its fifteenth birthday. Fifteen years after the mining of the genesis block, the market capitalization of Bitcoin is around 900 billion dollars.

The past year has marked a renaissance for Bitcoin hodlers, who have witnessed an impressive 160% increase in dollar terms, thus surpassing the protracted bear market.

According to Glassnode’s analysis, the number of Bitcoin “millionaires” has surpassed 91,000. Measured as single addresses with a balance of at least 1 million, this figure, although it has not yet reached the all-time highs of November 2021, represents almost four times more than on January 3, 2023.

Oliver Velez, a leading analyst, highlighted the transformation of bitcoin as it became the ninth most valuable asset in the world in less than 15 years, surpassing 7,963 other assets in the process.

La entrada Spain, the nation that lost the least millionaires in 2021 apareció primero en Bitfinance.

The personal fortune of the creator and president of Facebook Inc., Mark Zuckerberg, was compressed into more than 6 billion dollars as a result of the global failure presented by the platforms Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, generating a drop in the ranking of the millionaire people in the world and ranking it in fifth place, as reported by Bloomberg.

Elon Musk, from the companies SpaceX, Tesla among others, Jeff Bezos, Amazon, Bernard Arnault, from Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, Bill Gates, co-creator and co-founder of Microsoft, along with Mark Zuckerberg, complete the top five of the ranking of billionaires.

As reported by Bloomberg, a “sell-off sent the social media giant’s shares down 4.9 % on Monday, adding to a drop of around 15 % since mid-September, reducing their value to 121.6 billion dollars (…). In just weeks it has lost almost $ 140 billion.”

Zuckerberg’s social networks crash

Facebook, Instagram and instant messaging WhatsApp suffered this Monday a stop of all their services for approximately six hours. Users began to experience service failures at approximately noon, then the failure reached the blackout that generated a disconnection in all the company’s social networks worldwide.

The 9to5mac website reported that Facebook’s failure was the product of a problem presented by a DNS that “erased the routes to the company’s domains“, also impacting the company’s internal network, which generated a greater complication and prolongation of the crash.

The companies resumed their operation at approximately 8:00 p.m., and although the managers used their Twitter account to apologize for the failures of the services to the users, there is still no official communication on the causes that motivated the blackout of the networks.
