actual number of people using Bitcoin?

[blackhawkeye1912]

Is there a way to determine the number of people who are actually using Bitcoin till date? Who would have access to such information? Meaning a way to find out, how many new people have used Bitcoin in 2016 , so that we can say exponential growth is natural not artificially created by hoarders.

I'm sorry to say,there's no way to determine the actual numbers of user into bitcoin world. The only thing we can trace was the wallet address only which we can see on the blockchain record  everyday.

Theres no accurate answer for this one since we dont know how many people do use bitcoin all transaction and wallet address doesnt belong in each person since there are people do have many wallet addresses which means its really hard to determine.

That is certainly no data could be accountable, so that we can estimate only. I think, more than 3 million users, probably around 5 million, and china is the largest user. This thing we can see from the bitcoin market in china.

By getting the total number of wallets present in all the exchanges we can just speculate the total number of users as a person can hold multiple wallets in many websites..
It'll be like finding the total number of users who do emails by getting the number from total accounts from service providers.
Seeing the number of transactions happen everyday, we can say that it's definitely more than 3 million.

The actual number of people using bitcoin is not possible to determine.

Even if you track the number of accounts, then also it is not possible because, one user can generate lot of accounts.

Only if you can track the IP of the users then you might get an estimate. But there's no easy way to do it.

that's right, its not easy to do it. Only the wallet addresses can be traceable in the blockchain history records. But as everyday pass by a thousands of users are getting involved into bitcoin. So its difficult to determine it.

I think, there's a million of people who have using Bitcoin. I can say that because we all know how old the bitcoin is. We know that the information can be passed through social media such as facebook in such time. It's difficult to determine how many people are using Bitcoin.

It is really hard to determine the actual count of bitcoin user worldwide. It's just asking how many strands of hair you have in your head. Well you can count it but only on estimate and will still had a margin of error just like survey was.

Even with the wallet addresses generated it's not possible to determine the number of people using bitcoin. Blockchain has got more than seven million wallets. Likewise other wallet providers too have that. I believe bitcoin might have 3-6% of users worldwide.

that is true. a single user uses multiple accounts and it becomes difficult to know the number of persons using bitcoin. but it is sure that bitcoin is spreading among everyone.

Its very hard to know about how many people are using bitcoins,but we can imagine by using total block chain transaction, as per now there are 100 million+ transactions in block chain. one person can do many transaction per day.

So there are less than 1 Million people use bitcoins.

So there are less than 1 Million people use bitcoins.

With more than 100M transaction per day and shall we say each person transact only 100x per day it is equivalent to 1,000,000 users. But I think its more than that since there are eople who seldom used bitcoin everyday or never reach 100 transaction in day.

Its true that its hard to determine since we have no proper metrics we can not track all accounts.There are also multiple accounts in each exchanges etc.

We can't know the actual number of people using bitcoin but all we know now is its million and counting because of internet users that are getting curious and expose in cypto world. Like just in blockchain.info there's already a lot of transactions every second and we can't determine where it came from and who owns it so how much more of other exchangers out there.

In that situation, it will be hard to trace it dude. because its only wallet address in the blockchain were we can see all the transaction of the bitcoin users in the whole world.

it does not reflect the total bitcoin users as a whole of course there are many people who use more than one wallet
and very likely there are many users who do not use blockchain

It's hard to say the exact number and also whether and how much the number of Bitcoin users is increasing. I have a feeling that the largest amount of coins is owned by relatively small number of people and some new Bitcoin users always come but some are also leaving the Bitcoin world. This would be an interesting theme for some serious research.

[Astvile]

A big no brother.Each and every users of bitcoin creates multiple wallet addresses and accounts so we cant count them by accounts and many people do multiple transaction so we cant count that in daily transaction so its nearly impossible to count all bitcoin users up to time

That's so impossible to count it one by one and i guess it can't be made only in one day . A research about users is not interesting one because i think its just a wasting of time .The more productive we can do is think of how can we grow our bitcoins in the future .Surely most of the bag holders are the early birds to know bitcoins and those who use to mine bitcoins . Somehow these days big investors are approaching blockchain technology and its use ,so day by day there are a new investors or bitcoiners in bitcoin.

Its not possible to count how many are using bitcoins and who all are using bitcoins. Thats the main advantage of this thing .But there is a way to calculate approximate number of people using the bitcoins by collecting informations from all over the exchanges in the world. Its really a tedious task. By doing this way, you wont get exact number of people using bitcoins, because some exchanges dont collect details of its users.

[Babayega31]

The numbers of these people who uses bitcoin nowadays were at an infinite rate which could not be counted because these are getting higher everyday, because it's like a birth of babies usually happened every minute. It was anonymous users, who already adopted earlier this year and they were agressive to earn for better from their investments. Well personally it was me in the previous years I got into this kind of economy, and bitcoin is really a colorful type of currency which is very challenging and inspiring to mankind.

Exchanges such as BTC-e allow anonymity. I have been using that exchange for the last 5 years, and they have never asked for any ID proof from me. But most of the exchanges do collect the identity information, although they keep that data with themselves, without sharing with anyone. So right now, the only dataset which is openly available is the leaked Mt Gox userdata, which is almost 3 years old.

Basing on the informations of bitcoin users on exchanges is only on the smaller scale regarding on counting the actual users of bitcoin.It may be a part but some or mostly users are still hiding their identity which is really hard to traced them up and talking about counting number of wallet address it would be still useless.
