About 15-30 million given how many people join us from SE Asia, I'd say we have easily passed the 10million mark, but not all people are active users.
According to the chart shown below, only around 400k unique Bitcoin addresses are being used daily. On the one hand, an individual may have multiple addresses corresponding to a single wallet, while on the other, Bitcoin exchanges, for example, might have fewer addresses than the total number of their clients. In any case, we can assume that the number of
active Bitcoin users roughly equals this figure, i.e. about 400k users. Surely, a far cry from millions claimed...
The chart is taken from
hereYes, that might be the case, although you have to see that most bitcoin users might trade their coins p2p, so you have to add up all exchanges + localbitcoins and other trading places.
So i'd say roughly 3 million active, and about 15 million in total who were active or are active but less active.
Even if it were 15 million worldwide, which it can't be, that's still sad considering Pokémon Go has 24 million unique daily users and it's just a game. The market cap for Bitcoin is only $10 billion. That's sad considering Walt Disneys cap is $147 billion and Coca Cola is $179 billion.
Give it time, those companies are 50+ years old, or even 100 I think.
Bitcoin is only 7 years old, what do you expect? It takes time to grow.
Pokémon Go is six months old and is only in the USA and has 24 million registered users daily. Bitcoin is world wide, is seven years old, can be used for purchases all over the web and a local game is beating it in popularity. WTF?
Pokemon go is a game lot of users want to play that game because pokemon go is a world wide hit since we are child and we are still watching it thats why and bitcoin is a digital currency that child or young people aint interested on it. But bitcoin users are getting high and high over the years.
You better hope that's not true or Bitcoin will die. If young people aren't interested in it, old people certainly aren't interested in it, then who's left?
The older generation tend to believe what they hear on CNN and their local news. They don't follow web news sources. Well, the mainstream media for seven years has been talking about the kidnappings for Bitcoin, Mark Karpeles and the half a billion stolen dollars in Bitcoin, the Silk Road Bitcoin drug empire and on and on and on. The older generation has no intention of ever using Bitcoin.
Kids (like I see in the park playing Pokémon Go, less than 25yo) are all that's left. They should be using Bitcoin by the 100s of millions by now.
Facebook launched in 2004 and within 7 years had over 500 million users. MySpace had over 300 million users in 5 years. Instagram had 200 thousand users two weeks after launch. Amazon Payments had 4 million users within 2 years of launch. Square had 1 million users one year after launch.
PayPal, the god of payment systems, had 80 million users 7 years after its launch in 1998 and today generates more company revenue than the entire market capitalization of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin, by any metric, is dragging ass so slow snails are passing it.
