"Decentralization"? Bank of America Global Research just released a report today that said:

> 1. Concentrated Ownership: About 95% of Bitcoin is controlled by just 2.4% of the accounts, and distribution is heavily skewed towards the largest accounts. By comparison, the latest Fed data suggests that the top 1% of Americans control about 30.4% of all household wealth in the US.

Probably not even Russian oligarchs have that much control.
