Active QQ users number or QQ group number is meaningless, many player like me don't even join any Bitcoin related group.

It's human nature to be social.

Me too, I seldom talk in QQ groups for many months. There were bots accounts in QQ groups, 250k active users are overoptimistic, my estimation is 10k, look at this forum, active Chinese members are less than 1k.

What are some of the QQ Groups? And for trading?
