Master student on sociology

[mafalda]

Hello Bitcoin community,

Im writing my master thesis about Bitcoin users and their values.

One of the problems Im facing comes from the Bitcoin anonymity. I would like to compare the volume of transactions in some European countries.

I thought about mapping the physical business accepting Bitcoin as payment and saw there are some charts with this information. Another possibility was to check the amount of wallets, but I guess this information is also confidential.. One last attempt would be to cross the market rates with country demand, but Im afraid thats too much complicated calculation for a Sociology student already struggling with statistics, like me, hehe.

As Im far from being any sort of Bitcoin expert, I appreciate any sort of suggestion! Do you have any other insights?
thanks!

Change of value of what?  Are you talking about the price of bitcoin?  Price of the Euro?  Personal values?

Sorry, indeed, it wasnt clear.

I meant change of personal values. Bitcoin could represent a change of personal values, as its not yet an official currency... well, at least its what I think!
