~ as a huge percentage of bitcoin owners do visit this forum from time to time, we can have an idea about the average through the poll above. ~

no you can not because nobody will ever announce how much bitcoin they really own in a non-anonymous way. by the way i know it is a poll.

the only thing is to scan the blockchain and see how much bitcoin on average is in one "bitcoin address"
But people don't use a single address for all of their transactions, one person can be using 100 addressed for 100 transactions. So doing what you suggested will be quite a dedicated and tough work.
And secondly I though the polls are anonymous. I mean apart from the owners of the forum to see from the database, can a user see who voted what?

You are hoping that people will be honest in their response and that kind of thinking is flawed. People know forums and other surveys are hackable and people with the wrong ideas might hack into these methods of gathering information and then pick targets to hack based on the amounts they have divulged there.

Do you go around and spread information on how much gold and silver you have or how much money you have in the bank on public forums? Why do it with Bitcoin information?

It is difficult to know how many users there are now, as one person can have many different wallets for different purpose, only the right amount of BTC can be identified and the number of addresses used.

Quite simple, don't?

Get an estimation of how many people owns Bitcoins, then see how many Bitcoins have been mined and subtract the amount that probably is lost, then do a division and get the result.

More interesting and not so simple is how are the bitcoins distributed

This could help you but it's very hard if not impossible to figure out whose address belongs to who  Grin

So we cannot know how many users of bitcoin are there or how many bitcoin they own, but I think as a huge percentage of bitcoin owners do visit this forum from time to time, we can have an idea about the average through the poll above.
As you see its quite simple, just vote for the option suitable for you on how much bitcoin you own and lets see what on average a bitcoin user owns.
