blockchain.info wallet claims they have over 7 million users, right on the wallet homepage.

As you already told, one person can have several accounts, but I believe it is safe to assume at least 3-5 million users tried Bitcoin for short amount of time. Coinbase has at least million accounts as well, and these are verified by government isued ID - so pretty much these numbers represents real people.

thats quite interesting to know, I never thought of coinbase or anything like that. If we are only at 3-5 million (higher than i thought which is good) then you could truly class anyone whos buying into bitcoin now as early adopters. All we need to do is spread the word and get properly mainstream, And hopefully with the rising price due to the halfning we get more tv spots on the news etc to push us that bit further forward. 2016 and 2017 might be more interesting than you'd think.

I would say that the amount of people that use Bitcoin probably numbers among 1-2 million total, and yes, we do have a long way to go.

The thing is Bitcoin, as it is right now, is still too technical for a lot of people, and a lot of the things we find obvious or easy simply aren't easy or simple to a majority of other people. I know it sounds dumb, but that's how it is.

My theory is assume that 25% of /r/bitcoin users also use this board, and assume this board is ~30%-45% representative of the total population of Bitcoin (e.i. user number multiplied by ~0.75 to account for multiple accounts) and then assume it counts for ~40% of the entire count of users, multiply the numbers and get your answer.

I also pulled that theory out of my ass so no guarantee is means shit.

Im interested to know how many people are actually now involved in the bitcoin world, Is there anyway to find out a rough idea of the user base so that we can come to a conclusion on what kind of adoption we are currently at? It seems difficult to gauge since this forum alone has several duplicate accounts from the same people.

. /r/bitcoin has 180k subs to it so would it be safe to assume if we included all miners, users holders and whoever else that we are still at under 1 million users? If this is the case then we still have a long way to go.

Does anyone have any more accurate guesses or way to determine the market?
