What percentage of people on Earth will own Bitcoin by 2020

[Astvile]

I think it will be still below 30% ithink since many people dont want to risk some money in order to try using bitcoins or any thing that may help you earn online.And even if people do use and risk on bitcoin are we sure that bitcoin will still be running by 2020?

A wise cast can not be an anything but 0-2. According to me there is about 0,01% of the world population using Bitcoin, which is roughly about 700 000 people. I do not see this number surging over 2%, which would be an awesome number of users of 140 000 000. To see that much people using Bitcoin, we must at least wait until 2030 I guess, if not more.

I don't have any idea how many percentage of people on earth will own bitcoin by 2020 because i can't see how the graph of people who owns bitcoin now in the year of 2017. But i think it's on a 40% of people on will own bitcoin on the year of 2020.

In 2017, my guess is that it's in the region of 0.1% or a bit less based on transaction volume and other people's estimates.  I doubt it'll grow more than about fivefold in the next few years.

[bakkang]

In my own perception this coming 2020 about the percentage of people on earth will own bitcoin is 80-90 %..
I say that because bitcoin is an online transaction but in my observation theres a lot of country who cant yet access with internet and technology especially the developing and poor country.I hope that bitcoin will be known aroun the world and they will be oriented.

[doaremon]

The percentage will be definitely very low. Cause large number of people don't know about bitcoin let alone owning. In case bitcoin is banned in different countries. So it will be 10-15% I think. It's the maximum rate.

[zimmah]

so far it seems like much less than 1% use bitcoin.

I don't think even in 2020 we'll have reached even 1%.

but at some point growth will seem to explode

make sure you are invested in bitcoin before that happens, or else you'll not even be able to afford 1 mBTC

By taking into consideration we have 7.5 billions people living on Earth, I vote for 2-5% maximum. Why?
Because people are generally resistant to change. No matter how easy a life can be by adopting new techniques like Bitcoin but still people are happy living life as it is. For example, take Digital money like Credit/Debit Card or Net Banking have been implemented all over world for more than 20 years but still only 20-25% transactions are carried through it. Thus, we should not expect more than 100-150 millions Bitcoiners by 2020.

You are absolutely right. Still, a lot of people are not addpted to Net Banking and credit card transaction because they are afraid to do transaction with this process. If any mistake happens where to go, they don't know. Now some countries are addicting to digital currency. To avoiding black money the govt only entertaining this digital currency in the there country. But just for 3 years, we can not expect more than 2 or 3%.

Most of the people afraid to use internet banking or any form of exchange of money from digital money. They don't even trust any source of currency install of digital money but I think this is just because if their lack of knowledge and lack of understanding with Internet. I think this presentage will rise in future when internet will be access by any ordinary or uneducated person.

40% is way too much in the year 2020. Currently Its around 1-3% approx., it might grow max of about 8-12% by 2020.
Its really tough to reach such a huge percentage so quickly, because people are backward about new technologies and they fear loss of money other than anything.

I agree with that, there will not massive adoption that will happen in a short period of time, if that will happen I would doubt if it is real. Since we could not basically check the total users, we might be seeing a manipulated market, slowly but constant is something that everyone wants to see.
5% is even a big projection and if we will hit that rate, I don't know what will the price of bitcoin,, I am sure we will be happy at that time.

I've been running a poll for some time now about the value of 1 bitcoin by 2020 and it's safe to say a lot of different opinions and guesses are made.
This poll completes the other one and i'm really looking forward to everyone's input in this.

Tnx for your input 

I Sumit my opinion in the poll that is 10-20% , no doubt that the population of the world can't be controlled but here truth is that it is not easy to teach them about the bitcoin  . But still the use and advantage of the bitcoin is going increasing day by day so more and more people are attracting toward the bitcoin , and most the countries government are looking for the legalisation of the bitcoin , so probably it may be possible that in 2020 about 10-20% people entered in The bitcoin .

[CraigWrightBTC]

It will be difficult answered because actually there are not people in the world who know about the future include users bitcoin.
 but there are not wrong if i give my opinions about percentage of bitcoin users,
in my opinions it will take about 10-20% will has bitcoin in the world on 2020 because bitcoin will become new gold on internet
 the peoples will know that bitcoin is new gold.

If we can get an idea of how many people own bitcoins now, we can use data provided by blockchain.info (and maybe other sources) to try and guess a number. we can't calculate or make own prediction about percentage of people on earth will own bitcoin. Too many people still don't know about cryptos.  Also there are many in the world that don't even have access to a computer or smart phone.

[Dimelord]

I have voted for 2-5% of people.Even today,there are lots of people who dont have bank accounts and dont know about credit cards and digital transactions.All they know is only paper money which could be visibly seen and touched by hands.It would take years for them to convert to digital transactions.In india,recently demonitization of high value notes were made to turn people to digital transactions.But it didnt succeed.People inturn turned to paper transactions.So,there would not be a significant difference in the number of people using bitcoins by 2020 and bitcoin has to go a long run to reach people of all corners of the world.

It is not possible to calculate the number of users from the blockchain.info data. It gives only the number of active wallets. How do we know whether the same individual is owning two dozen or three dozen wallets? I think that the only reliable information is that from the Mt Gox leaked user data. It gives a lot of valuable information about the users of 2013, including their nationality, age and total holdings.

That is right. I have at least 20 wallet. Each one for different use.

Bitcoin shouldn't have that much of an issue with getting really famous and be along side of the major currency. If there's a bunch of people using Bitcoin there shouldn't be anyone that have Bitcoin trying to get rid of it because it's a new currency.

[Zicadis]

The ratio of bitcoin users to the world population ratio is as good as 1: 100000 and bitcoin is doing pretty fine for such a small audience and i expect no significant numbers till 2020 as we are still below 2%

[mjuliz]

It depends how the condition of the economy or the need to be desired by everyone. If something big happened on bitcoin history, maybe it might happen and i hope it so. My predict is 5-15% people on the earth will own bitcoin on that year.

I think its ranging from 10-15% only, because honestly bitcoin now is not that really accepted by many people in the entire world, though
there are some big company adopted the usage and features of bitcoin, but still prevailing is bitcoin unbeliever.
