I don't know if this is allowed here, if not I'm sorry for it, just delete the thread. Anyway, as I'm really curious on how many Bitcoin users are out there and it seems there's no reliable way to estimate it at the moment, I thought this could be a good try. Quick, easy and inexpensive. Just ask for subscription, spread the word, and let's see how many will join. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1153361628014629/Also, remember: the more we are, the more reputation Bitcoin gains... so it's in our interest to manage to make this estimate.

Thank you, but these are pages about Bitcoin itself. There's plenty more around. If I am a bitcoin user I don't necessarily want to subscribe to them as they can also keep publishing stuff I'm not really interested in. My group is ONLY aimed at seeing how many we are. I will write very very few posts in it. This means, you join, it's a +1 in the number of users adopting bitcoin. That's how I intend it.

Well if everyone joins a Facebook group then everyone will be identifiable.

Btw, thanks for accepting my join request. Hope this goes smoothly as possible. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Something dirty going on??? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Nobody will know the addresses you use anyway when you pay or receive money. And I don't think everybody will join, an estimate will still be necessary, but I think that if the thing will run, it will get us to a much clearer number than with other methods. Criminals will probably not join, and that's good ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

How are you going to get accurate numbers if half the community will not participate?

Nice and neat idea you have. However, I wont be joining the group unless I create another new account. I was banned on Facebook for using fake identity last year. I'm not using Twitter as they are like Facebook. As others said in this thread, most Bitcoiner want to stay anonymous. I doubt this group will be able to count the number of Bitcoin users on Earth. Oh also, some country like China ban Facebook.

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.
Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!
Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

If you join, people will only know that you have some BTC or you want very much to buy some, and the data you made public anyway.

I may make a poll on this forum and ask if the user would disclose his Bitcoin adoption or not.

So you want to guage how many bitcoin users there are by how many people join your facebook group? Looks like a cheap way to try get likes in my opinion.

Not to be confused with the user sifter ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) .

Thank you. Other groups, though, as I wrote, are mostly oriented to give you news about Bitcoin or there are groups to increase awareness on Bitcoinmap, which is good, but different from what is this group aim. I won't be spamming anything, unless things evolve in a different direction. I only want to see how many of us are trusting Bitcoin and, well, don't care so much about "privacy". I'll keep open the group to see how it goes, it would be nice to have a way to say people: "LOOK! WE ARE 1.5 MILLIONS OF REAL PEOPLE USING THIS." I think this would help somewhat pushing Bitcoin into the mainstream, and FB is a great medium for this.

It's a FB group, you join a group, not like my profile ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I don't think that it were be some results with this initiative. There are hundred of peoples that don't like Facebook and don't have a profile there. Then, there are other hundred that haven't read this thread and so cannot join because have no knowledge about it. And maybe there must be another third group that are lazy people and don't bother to go to register to this group. I bet that the number of this group will not be more than 300. When the users of bitcoin are at least 1 million (I guess). Let's see how will go !!!
