Can't you just count all the IP's displayed there?
Is that a bad representation?

It is still disappointing to only see 4! nodes in Japan.

Japanese people could be very much attracted by bitcoin, particularly investors, who don't see strong stock market devleopments in their domestic market.

It seems not a lot of trading os going on on JPY/BTC neither.

Who has Japanese friends / colleagues?

for now Bitcoin has become increasingly popular and some people have used Bitcoin as a side job or to get extra money. I think maybe all people in this world have made Bitcoin as a part of their lives. so far the development of Bitcoin has increaslyng good and some people already have Bitcoin or buy it. yeah Bitcoin users are getting more and more now.

By "using" ..do you mean to ask, if people are "using" bitcoins now OR how many people own bitcoins?

I am still using bitcoins on a daily basis, because it is cheap now to buy it back. You do not have to stop using bitcoins, because the price dropped. <Just make sure you keep on buying back some bitcoins at the lower price> 

As for the question on how many people owns bitcoins, well that is not a question that can be answered, because Bitcoin owners are pseudo anonymous and it is impossible to count people, if you do not know who they are.

I can't find out for sure how many are using bitcoin, but at least many people want bitcoin to grow big.
Many have bitcoin to be held in the long term and many use bitcoin to trade.

[Premooooo]

we can not count how many people are with bitcoin because everyone who wants to invest in it can be important to earn a great deal and because bitcoin is so famous so more investors invest in it so we will not know how many have bitcoin today.

I doubt that the exact number can be known or proved. Even if it is known at a point (which is impossible) at the next day, either it will be reduced or it will increase. I don't really see the need to know because of the fluctuating number of users. Is also like asking how many people are using fiat...

[globalking]

it is very hard to say how many people are using bitcoin but what I can say is many people are using bitcoin and many more people use bitcoin in the future.

[zeingrind777]

Certainly very much. We cannot calculate the exact number of holders and users of bitcoin at this time. Countries such as the United States, China and South Korea are the countries that invest the most money for bitcoin. Their population is millions of people. But maybe if predicted in 2024, bitcoin users reach 200 million people worldwide

[Inosend]

Everyone that believe in bitcoin and blockchain technology should have some few bitcoin at least

[MTNAX]

I don't think anyone knows for sure how many people have used bitcoin, but I am sure that from year to year bitcoin users will increase because there are many social media advertisements that make people curious and want to try it. Some even have proven the success of bitcoin.

I agree. Time will probably come that there will be more people who will be using bitcoin. We can say that time will come, everyone will be using it. It might not be today but tomorrow. Soon. This needs a process therefore we can wait for it to happen. Everything about bitcoin will be known worldwide.

This is impossible to know. In the last months there have been around 400k-500k unique addresses used so that can tell you that less than that number are actively using bitcoin. But there are many coins in cold storage that have been untouched for a long time. I would speculate the true number is a few millions.

[dewildance]

Just to get an idea of how many people are using bitcoin.

It is impossible to know completely. But there are some websites and they calculate some statistics. And they know how many wallet has a BTC. But someone can have more than one wallet. And no one knows real number who has how many wallet.


For example: https://www.blockchain.com/charts/n-unique-addresses

If only you can tell me how many people have dollar in their pocket then you can tell me how many have bitcoin too, you can't get answer for that question no matter what and if any one try to analysis the figure tell them am not confuse.

[CROPNetwork]

It's hard to say.I think over 500 mln.

[sinkfish]

appx less than 1% of the world population.

I think its around millions of people who have bitcoin or any cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency and bitcoin already spread all over the world I think many people already have it but I do not have any idea what is the exact number of people who have it. Do you think there is a big chance that all people in the world will have bitcoin?
