Benson Samuel, co-founder and chief technology officer of exchange rate setter Coinsecure, says he has about 3,000 registered bitcoin users, “and that number grows daily”.

“We are seeing two broad types of users. One is the speculator and the other is the one who buys and spends bitcoins,” said Samuel.
