The image here displays the number of total number of ChainLink holders (the column "Brothers") by each arbitrary category ("LINK Held") listed.
The total supply of ChainLink tokens is 1,000,000,000 (1 billion).
In the right column, "LINK Held," an average of the given range will be taken for simplicity in caluclation. For example, the range "250,001 - 500,000" is simplified to 375,000.
A low-ball estimate for how many tokens Jow Forums owns involves dividing the number of "Brothers" per row by 10, meaning if the number is originally 500 Brothers, the estimate of the number of people there who browse Jow Forums and hold ChainLink because of it would be 50. Basically, this just assumes 10% of the holders are Jow Forums users. Additionally, the top 4 categories ("General of Chainlink", "General", "Lieutenant General", "Major General") are considered to have no holders on Jow Forums. Remember, this is the LOW-BALL estimate, and this arbitrary distinction may not even be true.
Going down the list starting at "Brigadier General," we divide the number of Brothers by 10 and multiply that by the average of its respective "LINK Held" range. This number is then added to the last. For example, the "Colonel" rank has 241 Brothers and extends to the range (75,001 - 125,000). Thus, we divide 241 by 10 and calculate the average between 75001 and 125000. We get 24.1, rounded down to 24. The average of the range is 100,000. We then multiply 24 by 100,000. We get 2,400,000 LINK held by Jow Forums users in the Colonel rank.
After having gone down the list, the low-ball estimate comes out to 14,177,500 tokens held by Jow Forums anons. This is 1.42% of the total supply.
What are your estimates of the true Jow Forums holdings? I would wager that it's closer to 5%.
