How many percent of internet users and overall people use bitcoin ?

[illpoet]

that made me lol hard.  I think lots of people have "heard" of bitcoin, most ppl i talk to have.  I've yet to meet someone irl who uses bitcoins, other than ppl i've talking into holding a few.  I'd say its very small still, but growing rapidly.

I'm busy on a research with this question. Just have some patience on the outcome.

Was going to get the community involved in this. Although by the lack of input decided to do it at mainly at my own but with some help.

What is the answer to this question now?

Does anyone know anywhere that actually keeps up with this information?

10-20%? bitcoin is skyrocket now so in a year there will be more people knowing it .

Woah, 10% of all internet users? That's insane man, I don't think more than 2% of internet users use bitcoin, and that's still a very large guess. You have to remember the internet is huuuge.

I'd imagine it to be a very small amount, like 0.1 / 0.001 % maybe but that's a complete guestimate.

Would be interesting to know the average amount of wallets each bitcoiner has, personally had at least ten different blockchain wallets, not that I'm a scammer

10 % is really to much.
2 % also.
I guess even 0.2 or 0.1 % is also to much.
None of my Internet friends use actively bitcoin and just a few even heard about it  and I really have a lot friends online.
Any way, you have to look atr it from different perspective.
if someone is not interesting in mining or investing in Bitcoin, what is his/her benefit of using bitcoin?
Where they can spend it?
Bitcoin is still at very early stage very fare from becoming mainstream.

I thought it was something like 0.02% have adopted Bitcoin which of course isn't a lot for the price is it at.

This is so damn RIGHT !

Last I heard it was 0.1% of the population, that would make it around 7 million people.

It's quite a bit lower than that still but in the same order of magnitude.

[Lauda]

We aren't even close to 1% yet, that number would be amazing. Sadly the number is small but is growing with time, as more and more merchants start accepting BTC more people know about it.

Sadly? Slow and steady still wins the race I believe.

I think a very little percentage.But one day bitcoins will be a normal for everyone for online transactions as PayPal is for eBay. It I'd a genius exchange.

[bornil267645]

25%

I think the actual number of people that use bitcoin is low compared to the number
that have heard about it but for whatever reason doesn't get involved. I think we have .01%
right? Not very many...

I think he have ~2 million users so if the value above is correct that would imply 0.03%.

Sounds about right, pretty depressing at the moment but time will push it up.

[valvalis]

IMO less than 1%
We are the choosen one LOL

A lot less than 1%, which means less than 80 million. I'd say around 3 million people globally
