The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

mtgox had atleast 700k users that registered with mtgox and gave away their home addresses for AMLKYC....
now think about the large amount that wantd to stay anonymous ontop of those that disclosed info.. im thinking 2million in 2012-2013. and atleast 4x that this year since the average number of unique bitcoin addresses used per day moved from an average of 50k last year to 200k unique addresses used per day, this year

Interesting... So the article number was a way off.

it is very difficult because there is many address owning to a single person and many transactions from single addresses I read there is a blockparser to calculate it approximately but I couldn't make it work

thats why you dont try basing users based on bitcoin addresses.. but by factual info such as users signing up to services that give away home addresses. and then factor in an amount of people that wont give away home addresses, and add that on.. using blockchain addresses is just randomness used as just pattern recognition

even in the first post of that link there is on massive misconception #People #People =bitcoin addresses.. NOT ACTUAL individual human biological living people edit: the link *might* be based on user account balances rather that the deposit addresses

I investigated this subject a couple months ago and came across this useful post.
Thanks U! Great thread. The thing you need to remind yourself while researching this, like franky1 was saying: 1 Address != 1 User of Bitcoin Let us propose a situation, what if I sent small amounts of Bitcoin to 600 addresses that I have the private key for. Does that makes me 600 people for all the wallets I have? I am but one user

I think it is difficult to estimate. Because all the transaction on BTC are used to be as anonymous.

I have heard figures cited in the 1-3mn people range. That sounds plausible to me if one assumes that every person owns 5-10 wallets
