Figure 9. Evolution of the distribution of balances of individual Bitcoin addresses.

Figure 9

The distributions are shifted by arbitrary factors along the vertical axis for better visibility of the separate lines. The black lines are stretched exponential and power-law fits of the last empirical distribution. The tail can be approximated by a power-law with exponent Inline graphic, however, the rest of the fit is unsatisfactory. Therefore, we fit the distribution with a stretched exponential distribution of form Inline graphic. We find a better approximation of the whole distributions; the parameters are Inline graphic and Inline graphic.
