Bitcoin Adoption Rate

[gilgil]

Hi.

Been looking around and thought the thing I'm missing most at the moment is a web page with graphs measuring bitcoin adoption rate.

In my mind I see a page with unique user count, number of unique wallets, "bitcoin" word occurrences count in google search etc.

Above all of those graphs and indicators, I would love to see a percentage, where "100%" means everyone is using only bitcoins, "0%" means nobody ever heard about bitcoins, and I would guess we're now at somewhere around "5%" or so.

What do you think? Is there such a web page that I missed?

Probably 90% of the people I talk to every day use bitcoin in some way. Maybe I have a biased way of deciding who to talk to though.

Closest I can think of to what you need is this:

http://www.google.com/trends/?q=bitcoin

Although it's really not representative IMO since you can't see the recent growth in volume of just about every Bitcoin business anywhere on there.

That's the darndest thing about a pseudonymous digital currency.  There's really hardly any actionable data.

There might be some trends you can recognize from these sources though:

 - http://blockchain.info/charts
 - http://bitcoinstatus.rowit.co.uk
 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats
 - http://stats.grok.se/en/latest90/Bitcoin

Nice! Made it to my bitcoin bookmarks :-)



Guess what this graph looks like... (Even the y-scale!)

That's more the number of transactions... Maybe you mean this one:

Still, it doesn't factor in self wallet-to-wallet transfers and other artifacts...

- http://blockchain.info/charts is very good, but I find it hard to understand adoption rate from it
- http://bitcoinstatus.rowit.co.uk is too depressing. I don't like it.

The last couple made it to my bitcoin bookmarks :-)

I'd love to have the wikipedia stats for a longer period than a month, something similar to the google trends
