I remember filling in a few surveys for someone doing his/her dissertation on the subject, but I'm not sure if these results are publicly available already.

I live in Australia, not a tech geek and never really cared about computers much until i heard about bitcoin and the rest is history.
I regularly use my bitcoin for a whole range of products. We are in the top 10 most bitcoin friendly countries so have plent of nice start ups to chose from.

Hi I wonder about the demographics of bitcoin. Who uses it, race, location, gender?
I read the coindesk paper on it, but wonder if there is some other more updated documentation on it.
Regards
it would have been so great if we could know this but unfortunately there is no complete information about this, i mean you can find some small studies with a little group like what pawel7777 said but that doesn't show anything really. another thing that you can do to get that kind of information is to ask a big website like blockchain.info, coinbase, gyft,.. and services like that to give you statistics on where their users come from based on IP but again that information is not really 100%.

Could you add where you come from please? This makes it easier to get an image about where Bitcoin popularity is increasing. If you do not name the country directly, you can even point to an geographical area ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) in my country many start to use bitcoin because it is the best alternative solution to paypal and skrill where many get locked in those useless payment system but we all miss the best shot to buy bitcoin when it hit 200 $.

Its truly hard to find out the people who use bitcoin. In my view unlike race, profession and other personality more people after understanding its true nature and growing potential.

This article somehow convinced me that the west are the one who's making the pump on the coin and the chinese that what other's people think. Given by some the news I think most of the chinese that hold coins are the miners and the whales is on the US.

Given by some the news I think most of the chinese that hold coins are the miners and the whales is on the US. To bad that this article lacks source material. Besides it was just a survey run on 1200 people, that's a bit small quantity of respondents to make this a good and representative study. However it definitely shows something, is the main group of bitcoiners among those 1200 respondents? Rather shows who actually takes part in surveys. bitcoin has been spread globally, as i can tell you there are a lot of bitcoin user in my country even though there has been no store or any bitcoin atm machine here, my friends who used bitcoin is ranged 16-30 years old
And this is much closer to the truth IMO. 16-30. Do we count bag-holders? Whales? They dont use BTC they just store them.

The graph clearly shows people of all ages use bitcoins of course young generation is more as bitcoin is a digital money not to much old people or small kids use computer if we talk outside the US or some more countries related to US, if we talk about Asia or middle east not much old people and small kids use computer

Even if we don't have bitcoin atm or shops to use our bitcoins we can anytime convert it to our local currency very easily and in future we will find many place where we can use bitcoin directly.

Hi jza? I am curious what made you wonder about the demographics of the users of bitcoins? Where will you use it? I have also research about the users of bitcoins in the net but I haven't found any articles regarding the demographics of bitcoins users. But If I were you, if this demographic is really important, you can conduct a survey here at bitcoin talk. You can post a survey right? For sure a lot of people will be more than willing to help you. Because they might also be able to use it someday.

A lot of different types of people uses it , but the people from I.T in my view is the users that give more support and use it. Traders only trade, the most part of they don't give a fuck about technology.

My suggestions are: 99% Men,from which 55% white,40% asian and 5% other. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) This is just a suggestion,i don`t know where to find demographic data about this. Bitcoin will spread very fast,if more women start using it...

There are a lot other countries here. I see it in other languages. I think 60 percent are Asian. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

There are no studies pertaining who uses bitcoin. It seems impossible right now since users can have multiple wallets, then studying base on wallets is not applicable. Then we study based on identity but of course there is secrecy in bitcoin transactions so that cannot be applied. In short getting the demography of bitcoin users is impossible. The only plausible question that we might answer is the location, as to what countries are engaged in bitcoin.
