Topic: How many people use/hold bitcoin in 2016 - page 6. (Read 15888 times)
I do believe current number of Bitcoin users will be in millions at present. There are so many usage of Bitcoin and lot of people don't have access to this forum but still know about from external sources and found it useful. Let's say 1/3 of the blockchain.info wallet holders are real users then too that number is above 2 million.
I don't know about other people how many they actually are in figures who are using or holding Bitcoin in 2016. I will talk about me only as I am holding 6 Bitcoins and still whenever see possibility buy slowly slowly in cents. I hope I will b eable to collect couple of more before it reaches all time high in coming months.
I'm not sure if exact numbers for Bitcoin users actualy exist. I beleive and hope that this number is increasing with each year and how Bitcoin becomes more accepted and popular. Also, the offer for jobs paid in Bitcoin is also increasing so that can contribute to larger number Bitcoin users too.
But in the future if the price increase a lot Bitcoin may become unavailable to larger population so that is potentialy leading to some elite status.

Actually due to price stability on 2016 since its halving most of holder might have not sold their bitcoin and might be waiting for price hike. There might be buy and sell during the first half nectar initially price was around $350 and suddenly it rose to $600 so almost 2 fold increase in price of bitcoin. Do 1st half ad second half of 2016 have different view on bitcoin holding graph. Let hope for the best for 2017 and upcoming years
It's true that this may lead to actually less people holding BTC because more people will be holding and aslo the price will increase but as long as there are people willing to buy BTC will be on the right track.The bigger concern for me is not how much people hold BTC but how many are informed with BTC and the real possibilites it holds and not what they have really exactly heard

I guess almost 50% bitcoin user use bitcoin to gain out of trading. As the year was normal for bitcoin because there was no such high and low in bitcoin price. So most of the user might have kept their bitcoin in hold and baby be trying to sell in coming days

It will be a painful procedure if one tries to find out the exact number of active user of Bitcoin. Since there are many different wallets and services all the data is decentralized. Off course even many people holds more than 2 or 3 wallets because of many reasons this also makes it difficult. I will give estimation of 2-3 millions directly or indirectly are involved in Bitcoin.
I don't think it's possible to know, there are millions of wallets and not everyone is using only one, but I can tell you it's a lot more than the previous years. 
around 300.000 people would be my guess and it's rising everyday.

No one can actually tell you how many people are using bitcoin in any amounts, bitcoin still needs more advertising and to spread awareness more than now.
It is sad to see most of the people in our daily interactions with them know nothing about crypto world what so ever.
I think 10 years from now at least 500M will know and will for sure use bitcoin and crypto in general.

We can't measure the number of people who will hold bitcoin in 2016 because we can see that the price of bitcoin is much higher than before so it is very tempting for them to sell their bitcoins rather than hold it and can't assure the stability of the price. And on the number of people who will use bitcoin in this year, I think it is already exceeds 5 million because bitcoin is on the internet and it means that it is very easy for bitcoin to spread its name.
I dont think its possible, to get exact figure of people around the world using or holding btc....because of its globally used and popularity...but what i know for sure is that lots of people are in use of it and hold of it....
I can't give some exact number of the people using or holding bitcoins in 2016. But i think Bitcoin is already growing up fast especially after the last increasing of its price recently
Same here! I can't give the exact number of users of bitcoins nor the people holding it. If i will guess, i think it also reach millions. the continuous growing of bitcoins attracts even those minor to use, collect and buy bitcoins. the rising numbers of users was increasingly daily not only in my country but also in many countries that recognising bitcoins as a money.
In my area, I think it's less than 100. That means that dumb social media trends are still more popular than bitcoins. When you ask someone about a video that went viral on facebook, he/she knows most of the details about it. Ask them about bitcoins and they don't know anything about it. That's a sign that the population of bitcoin users is still really really low. I think we're around 1 million today, that's just a fraction of the total active internet users.

Exact numbers are any bodies guess the number is rising for sure..
If my grandfather, parents and part of my friend groups starts buying bitcoin and the rest starts asking what's going on, it is a clear sign for me that adoption is growing.

I currently hold 4.5 bitcoins that I have acquired from previous years and I plan on holding. I am confident that bitcoin will grow in the long term.
Reeally really many i dont know exatcly number but it is really huge number perfectfor bitcoin world to not be too small soit is quite big but not huge but i want more huge and i am waiting for more bitcoin growing
I guess we need to define the term "use/hold" bitcoin. Having 1bit = using/holding, or we need at least 1mBTC or even 1BTC? I would say at this moment, any serious bitcoiner should have at least 1BTC. There are only about 0.5 million addresses with balance>1 BTC. Of course there are people who store their coins in small amounts in different addresses... My guess is that there are about 0.5 to 1 million "serious" bitcoiners around the world.
Blockchain and coinbase user numbers are just to measure the interest. I personally have more than 1 (actually many) blockchain accounts just because I just use and throwaway so that I don't have to write down the seed/password/account number etc. My long term storage is my paper wallets.

i think it is not so easy to estimate that how many people uses bitcoin in 2016 but i will like to add that 2016 is one of the most successful year of bitcoin as more and more people enter in the world of bitcoin in 2016 and still joining it.
perhaps the use or hold bitcoin in 2016 is 40% of the world community. Well, it's been so many people who know bitcoin but I do not know whether they use it or not. but according to my calculations, many of those who do not use it, so in my opinion, only 40% of the world community that use or store its bitcoin
