are they trying to count how many BTC users or who are the BTC users?
"how many" is fine but "who is" that's a red flag to me if am to be asked

Well if everyone joins a Facebook group then everyone will be identifiable.

Uhhh so what? You scared? Something dirty going on??? Cheesy

Nobody will know the addresses you use anyway when you pay or receive money.
And I don't think everybody will join, an estimate will still be necessary, but I think that if the thing will run, it will get us to a much clearer number than with other methods.

Criminals will probably not join, and that's good Cheesy

I don't know if this is allowed here, if not I'm sorry for it, just delete the thread.

Anyway, as I'm really curious on how many Bitcoin users are out there and it seems there's no reliable way to estimate it at the moment, I thought this could be a good try.
Quick, easy and inexpensive.
Just ask for subscription, spread the word, and let's see how many will join.

Also, remember: the more we are, the more reputation Bitcoin gains... so it's in our interest to manage to make this estimate.

Just sent a join request. Btw, is it only made on the 31st of July? Only 51 members at the time of this writing. Also, not so much discussion happening yet.

Ye, I opened it couple days ago, and I only have 100+ friends and added the more open minded of them Cheesy

And only 2/3 of them interested in Bitcoin so of these 50 only these 2/3 remain as real Bitcoin users, but as it's at the beginning I think it's excused I'll try to gain as much attention as possible Cheesy

Well that's good, but I think linking the social media accounts of bitcoin users are not that inviting because you know, bitcoin users want anonymity and all that stuff--linking their social media accounts is actually against that concept. Btw, thanks for accepting my join request. Hope this goes smoothly as possible.

There is two pages about bitcoin, one has over 100,000 likes and the other 20,000.

Thank you, but these are pages about Bitcoin itself.
There's plenty more around.
If I am a bitcoin user I don't necessarily want to subscribe to them as they can also keep publishing stuff I'm not really interested in.

My group is ONLY aimed at seeing how many we are.
I will write very very few posts in it.
This means, you join, it's a +1 in the number of users adopting bitcoin.
That's how I intend it.
