Title: Percentage of people using blockchain worldwide
Post by: adamcro on November 24, 2017, 04:42:38 PM
Does anyone has any statistics about how many people in the world uses blockchain. Or how many wallets are there? Is it <1% or >1%?

All I have is this fot BTC only

The chart above accounts for almost 16.5 million Bitcoin addresses (16,493,488 to be exact,) This probably does not account for every Bitcoin wallet holding Bitcoin in the world (I’m sure the “brain wallet” population didn’t make it into this group,) but is a pretty good forecast of the greater community.

Just 593,488 addresses have at least 1 BTC inside of them. That is just 3.59%! An even more telling stat is less than 1.8 million addresses have at least .1 BTC, or just $60 USD worth. This is less than 1 in 9 addresses. In other words, almost 90% of all Bitcoin addresses have little or no real value at all.

Approximately 16,555,375 bitcoins is currently in circulation.

You noob why did you post this in marketplace? :D Anyways, There was some debates about the average statistics of blockchain users worldwide, But the majority agreed on 5 million people actively using bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.
