Post by: buwaytress on November 19, 2016, 11:46:52 AM
Does anyone know of any social science research pm the demographics of bitcoin users or crypto users in general?

If i were to guess the majority would be male, atheist, asian and anarchists=)

A few surveys done in 2013 and 2014 indicate that the Bitcoin users are overwhelmingly young white males. I am sure that the proportion of the Asian users has grown since then, but I assume that they still form a minority. Here are a few useful links:

The male dominance is incredibly high. White are overwhelmingly represented but more and more people from Oceania are joining.

Majority are:

1. Tech nerds (around 50%)

2. Young people without money (20-30%)

3. 3rd world people without money (rest)

Haha I fit nicely in the graph above. Male, European, 25-34, using Chrome.
Also an atheist, but not Asian and not an anarchist, looks like I don't fit into OP's standards lol.

Did I read that right? More than 60% are using chrome to navigate the internet? I thought some were motivated to regain some degree of privacy and that is why they wanted to use bitcoin, Chrome basically registers everything you do in your browser at least use Chromium.
