I believe at my place there are only 0.5 % of main population that using bitcoin because my goverment still not accept bitcoin usage
That's a bad fact ! If my goverment accept bitcoin usage, it will affect into bitcoin value on the future

I think it will be less than 2 million people who use bitcoin.Bitcoin is in its earlier stage only.It will take 5 to 10 years for bitcoin to reach 25 percent of world population. At that time, most of companies would start to accept bitcoin as payment.

i think no one know the fixed number of bitcoin users, may be the administrators know about that.

Even the administrators does not know about that, administrators only can know about bitcoin users of this forum but not of all the world which are not possible to be counted as there aren't any certain thing which every bitcoin users use, all of them use wallets but again not everyone use one.

I think ascot 2 million people use bitcoin and it's not enough for a cryptocurrency to have this much less user. I think user will increase by 2020 because it's getting popular and those who hear about bitcoin  first time is my experience that i am saying about

At leased 50 million poeple must be using it now.

i think its more than 50 million people that must be using bitcoin for now and more than 100 million for future and more people so bitcoin will get famous in many places and many country.

It is impossible to know how many people have used bitcoin so far. So all of these researches are just speculations like any other individual speculation. Anyways it does not matter how many people use btc, what matter is the market cap and how mush it is rising

I agree with you that there may be more important questions, but the topic of the thread relates to speculating about number of users, and there are probably some better sources of information than others, but to suggest that the topic does not matter seems to be a bit lacking in perspective.

I think bitcoin users number are under 2 millions to 5 millions people who are using the bitcoins, But as we all know that no one can say perfectly about bitcoin users. But i believe that i am right, because now within 2 years bitcoin is going very well, and everyday the people know about it and like it and use it in different ways.     
There is no certain amount of people who using bitcoin. May be blockchain can give the information about how many wallet are already created but a person can have so many wallet to keep the bitcoin, probably it is for reduce the chance of hacked. So we can not now the certain number of people who use bitcoin.

If of all people in the world I think bitcoin users is less than 2 million. But an increasing number of users it was inevitable. Still a few people using bitcoin was evidenced from the adoption of bitcoin least in some areas and at least one who knows about bitcoin. That is reasonable because bitcoin is still new terhidung so its still in development. Perhaps the next few years bitcoin users grow more if progress rapidly.

it difficult to get the correct numbers but 75% of bitcoin users should own an account on this forum and our total members here is about ~ 900 thousand so am confident we are less than 2million world over   

That is a crazy hypothesis.

Maybe I could agree 75% of those who own 10 coins or more may have an account on this forum, and possibly 25% of all bitcoin users have an account on this forum, possibly. 

.. but still, I am thinking that there are likely more than 4 million bitcoin users world wide, yet I am also thinking that there is likely still some fractional reserve type banking going on with some of the exchanges and some of the third party bitcoin custodians, and it is also difficult to get any kind of grasp regarding the severity of such fractional reserve practices, even though logically, we can recognize that such fractional reserve practices can be very profitable, so long as you do not get caught... and even if you get caught, the punishment may not be as great as the profits to sneakily engage in such practices.
The numbers are really increasing everyday compared to earlier days. This is fully because of bitcoins benefits. This has reached every corner of the world. Many have this as their main job in their career. My prediction would be, at least minimum 100 to 200 users are joining everyday in this forum. Either they start up with a new account registering in this forum or buy an account to start with. Bitcoin has made many lives very happy and satisfying.

It seems that there should be some better data sources out there, and maybe with the passage of time, we are going to get some better ways of gauging this.

And, really the upside seems to be much greater than the downside.  Think about it.  We have likely less than (or maybe approaching) .01% of the total worlds population involved with BTC in some kind of way (likely a lot of them in very small ways), yet we have quite more than 1,000 times the hashing power of any combination of super computers dedicated to bitcoin's security.

Some folks may call such computing power inefficient, yet I consider such computing power dedication as a measure of considerable future growth potential.

For the sake of argument, lets say 50% of people have a Coinbase account (of all global users, mostly American's use Coinbase in great numbers).



Blockchain.info claims to have 6 million wallets on their App pages but their website says 9m, which doesn't help us much anyway as one person can have multiple wallets.



But lets just say the number of Bitcoin users is somewhere between Coinbase's 4 million users and Blockchain.info's 9 million wallets.

the Bitcoin wallet app has been downloaded between 1-5 million times:

The bitcoin community its currently growing, something that would occur over time and its happening slowly, but i dont believe we are already 2 milions, and if we are near those looks like we are just 100k active bitcoiners.
