Just wondering how many people in the world are holding or trading BTC

I think this would be very hard to properly determine as you could not just go by the number of addresses out there. It would be interesting to know an exact number.

For that question there is now way to give an accurate answer.
You as a person can own several wallets with several adresses inside.
This means that not one adress is one person.
Bitcoin days being destroyed might help here, but I'm not really sure about that to be honest.
What we can say is that there a lot of coins hold in cold storage! And around 2-3 million coins seemed to be lost forever.
So what you see on the exchanges on coins getting traded back and forth is really a very small number, just a few hundred thousand coins, that's it.
So most of the coins are not in circulation and are in hands of really strong HODLERS!

There are so many holder of bitcoin all over the world.Many people are investing in bitcoin because bitcoin has been a very good help to everyone.Bitcoin is a big help to everyone because it helps to gain so much money.

We cannot identify of how many bitcoin holder are there all together,because many people all over the world accepting bitcoins as part of there life.there so many bitcoiners who works in the world of digital currency,because its  help a lot to us especialy of giving an profit by means of investment trading or mining investment.

Bitcoin is well distributed and scattered all over the world and couldn't determine the accurate number of people who owns it. Since anybody has the capability to access and hold bitcoins, it is really hard to know.

I think there are very few people who hold a lot of bitcoins. They are mainly early miners and early investors. I've seen a statistic, as if 1% of people control the weight of 40% of the bitcoin. The people who entered early did have a great advantage.

accurate statistics are hard to find (I would say not possible), but many publications say that about 0.01% of the population holds bitcoin

I think it is nearly impossible to know how many people in the whole world are using Bitcoin, and even you know how many Bitcoin address all in all out there it will not give you the accurate answer, because people can have multiple Bitcoin addresses, I myself also uses more than one address for storing and more than one in different exchanges. And also exchanges cannot give you an accurate answer because there are people who invested in Bitcoin by just holding it and decided not to do trading in any exchanges or trading platforms.
