There wouldn't be like a proper estimate. I have had to create new wallets in the past, simply because, I use 2 laptops, and don't access them at the same time. Importing the private key would be a good option, but one is windows , and I just like keeping a smaller amount there.

I have keys for about 10-15 addresses, some of them are in use, some are empty. If you count those which are associated with me like deposit addresses on gambling sites, exchanges and so on... I might have over 50. Bitcoin businesses are the heavy users of addresses. They must go through thousands of addresses each year ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

For people who use electrum, new addresses are generated every time an address is used. You start off with at least 8 addresses. I guess I would have twice that now.

Well with HD wallet, practically I make sure every transaction ends up with different address. Mainly that is for privacy purpose. If the number of addresses are completely exhausted, I'll create another new wallet with a new seed. That is main reason why I don't go for vanity address.

I think the average user has many btc addresses because he is afraid of being hacked an stolen.

I guess there are a lot of people who only have 1 single address they do everything with! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I know this defeats the purpose of BTC, since everyone now can trace you and you also get confused with all the transactions over time, I think...

as the title states, whats the average number of wallet addresses per bitcoin user? With the ability to trace transactions and link people together based on publically posted keys, I know many people (including myself) have generated unique addresses for nearly all transactions just to be safe. My guess is somewhere around 40-50 addresses at this point in time.. what are your guy's thoughts?
Not counting the addresses on the trading exchanges, I have about 20 addresses. They are not all being used right now, because I switch to new addresses every now and then (but I do keep backup of all old addresses I've used). I may create 10 new addresses every month.

I don't even know how many addresses I have, it is a ton though. Everytime I do a transaction pretty much I get a new Address so they can pile up quick after 1 full year(almost) of using Bitcoin!

Why do addresses constantly get created anyway? Basically everytime I make a transaction they get created!

As an average user, I would say maybe 2-3 receive but a lot more send addresses.
I'm currently switching to a new computer and had about 35 receive addresses but I am a miner.
Now down to about 5...
