> the top 10,000 individual Bitcoin investors control roughly one third of the cryptocurrency in circulation.

The relevant comparison here is to other currencies, not to organizations in general, and to the ability and incentive of these controllers to influence the trajectory of the currency.

Two points:

1. 10,000 people controlling 33% is dramatically less control and centralization than the Federal Reserve, which ultimately has about 10 powerful people.

2. These 10,000 people have very little ability and even less incentive to affect the price of Bitcoin. Again, unlike the Fed, which can print money at will and increase inflation.
