One of the most interesting questions and one of the most forever unanswerable.
These estimates of 10-20 million were being put about well over a year ago too.
Many of the biggest addresses will be exchanges and them combined must now add up to several million users alone. Cryptopia, a nothing exchange, reported having over a million users. Though I hope they're not parking everything in exchanges, many are.
I wonder how willing Bitcoin fans will be to give up their underdog status when it's clear that phase is over for good.
Yes one of those imponderable and unknowable things!
And I’m sure the number of people who ‘own’ 0.001 BTC or more, whether they know how to access it or what to do with it or what it’s worth must be over 25 million now - while the number of BTC users like us who can quote you the current price and use a wallet and show interest in bitcoin news and forums and social media must be at least 5 million.
And that last group do get a feeling of excitement I think feeling they’re part of something new and that few other people know understand or participate in, and in a way it will be sad when understanding and use of bitcoin becomes a lot more commonplace and unremarkable - even if that does wonders for it’s value!
