Demographic study of userbase.

In the past few weeks, Bitcoin has received a lot of attention in the media and from investors. Much less attention has been bestowed upon those who actually use this curious currency.

We at Quantcast are all about measuring audiences; we’re also no strangers to a mining conversation over a delicious catered lunch. We dug a bit (no pun) to get some info about these masked coin collectors (we’ll call them Bitcoiners), using the vast visibility we have into habits of consumers on the Internet. This is what our proprietary data showed:

If only they could figure out how many merchants are accepting bitcoins, they'd be gods.

I guess they will never really be able to know that.

Despite rumors of the Winklevoss twins cornering the Bitcoin market, Bitcoiners skew only ever so slightly wealthier than the average population.

This is very reassuring. I'd like to hope this could still be ground up revolution. Convincing each and everyone of your friends to get at least 1 bitcoin this year would be a great start. Gifting them one would be more admirable  ;)
