Number of individual people using Bitcoin

[yenxz]

This would be great to know and I have wondered this myself.  Very difficult to know with all of the different wallets individuals have.   I think the number is still quite small.  I know people into tech that do not know of bitcoin or simply dismiss it.

of course all people will wonder about that number,but so far i can't find official stats,this  is might because bitcoin is decentralized,so we can count number of people using bitcoin.

I also wonder the same things, I am sure there are a lot of people using it, and it will increase in every second, and hopefully we can become the biggest community ever

[X-ray]

i've seen a topic questioning about how much address which have bitcoin less than 100 satoshi,this one really useless if you're questioning here, a research never be done, the real quantity will never can be revealed

It is difficult to predict the exact number of individual using bitcoin but I am sure the community is growing at a moment and it will reach to new heights in coming years.

[Jasad]

Nothing can count and its impossible to knowing the stats,we just can knowing about stats or transaction or bitcoin ATM stats.
but still possible if some people want to take survey about it.

[Jeremycoin]

It's quite hard to know that, because even tho we know how much of the total number of existing bitcoin address. We still can't know who's own each of the adress.

[evergrow]

Yeah probably like with other interesting things we probably will never know.

Interesting question!

How can it possible who using bitcoins, but you can see every passing the day bitcoin's number of the people is increasing, so in my eye, most of the people are interested in bitcoin and using it , it shows coming 2 or 3 years bitcoin's number will be increased.

coinbase alone has:
Users‎: ‎2,800,000 (Nov 2015)

so im guessing alot more then that. but when i talk to people i prefer to use low numbers instead of exaggerating numbers out of thin air. so atleast 2.5mill people are using or have used bitcoin in the last couple years.(to be on the safe side)

Where is the mathematicians on this forum? Take this total for the USA and work out what % that is of the total population of the USA and then use that as a indicator for the rest of the world. The problem is

North America have a higher adoption than many other countries and most of these other countries have none of these KYC/AML regulations, so most of the users on those services are not authenticated and

basically a duplication of single users. With the pseudonimity of Bitcoin, we will possibly never get a accurate answer to this question.

Yeah that's right we can't get an exact count of individuals  As people use different wallets, may be we can approximate bitcoin users by some factors like bitcoin address, that too is difficult.

[amacar2]

we can only get total bitcoin in circulation but not the total number of bitcoin addresses in use so even guessing the number with the total bitcoin addresses generated till now couldn't help us find the exact number of users.

Im also wondering about that thing on how many bitcoin users is online out there.Cause of bitcoin popularity im pretty sure that there are abundant numbers of bitcoin users online around the globe.We can estimate the number of users online but i think we cannot exactly know how many bitcoin users is online.Maybe there is millions of people using bitcoins or more.Thats because of jts popularity

Finding out how many people are using Bitcoin is nearly impossible as there is nothing that can give you an exact number. But then again, what do you consider to be a Bitcoin user? When they use Bitcoin at least once a week? Once a month?
