Title: Usage statistics?
Post by: supersonic3974 on July 11, 2011, 04:05:38 PM
Does anyone know how many people use bitcoins?  How many wallets are out there?  How many miners are currently mining?

After the Mt. Gox hack, details of about 60k account holders were released. Probably at least 50% of US-based Bitcoin users have a Mt. Gox account, so US users are somewhere between 50k-100k I bet.  Then add other nations...

I would put the total user base of Bitcoin in the range of 100k-1m worldwide.
