1 in 3 Kenyans have a Bitcoin wallet.

This is also a great video about Bitcoin in Argentina: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e__m-w4N7NI <- please share widely, westerners need to see this.

Too many Americans especially forget there is a world beyond the borders of their nation.

If you like to make statements like this it's perfectly fine, however don't forget to tell where you got those figures from.

Tell him to look at what competitors are doing.

If they are using Bitcoin, then they better do too
And if they aren't using Bitcoin, then this is an opportunity to get ahead Wink

#bitcoin addresses is a weak metric. Many bitcoin owners have multiple addresses, and whales have been splitting up their coins across many addresses recently due to hacking fears.

Probably the most accurate adoption stat is the growth of active users on the main bitcoin exchanges. Only insiders have access to this knowledge.

I agree, though I think there have been some polls done to get some info like this. Some people have researched this I think, but I haven't found their links

- Number of females aged 20-40 in the Bitcoin community.
That's sounds pretty sexiest to me, to ask that Wink

Is that the main target Group for Fair Trade?

Good point... not sure about the exact detailed reasoning for their targeting of that particular group.  To the best of my knowledge it has to do with the female 20-40 demographic seems most interested in the type of Fair Trade products they are able to source.  Things like handmade purses, bags, hats, accessories etc..

I will ask the next time I meet him and let you know

A friend mine new to bitcoin but is working for a large venture, focused on online sales of "Fair Trade" products needs some good, fresh stats to help convince his bosses to accept bitcoin.

Can you guys help source some of them... I found a few but maybe you know better info for:

- Adoption rate of Bitcoin amongst online retailers over the past two years. (if possible an example or two of retailers targeting young women/retailers with a social or environmental angle)
- Growth rate and current size of Bitcoin community.
- General demographic info about Bitcoin/DogeCoin.
- Number of females aged 20-40 in the Bitcoin community.


Thanks for anyone who can help...
