Theres  no one could able to give a precise  number here on  which  how  many   bitcoin users all over the  world  for this  year. No one   really knows  because  we all know  bitcoins  is soo  complex and we  cant even  count off  people  who  use  different addresses  thats  why its hard to determin the total number.
yes that is a fact that no one can give the exact number of bitcoin users, i think  the administrators may be able about this but i think the othere  users cannot know about this, but i can can that the number of bitcoin users is increasing on daily basis.

not sure about the answer , but I think it's somewhere 2-3 millions
I don't know if it's possible to have exact or even close numbers to that question , but one of the popular faucets already have more than 2 million users but since it's easy to have more than one account then even that doesn't give an answer

there is never going to be any way of knowing the answer to this question. the only thing that you can do is making a very off the mark kind of guess based on some  things you see on the blockchain. for example the number of transactions, possibly the big whales like the large wallets that hold lots of bitcoin and ask the services like coinbase about the number of users they have.

I don't have the exact numbers but I assume there is a lot. You can see it here in the website, I see that there are many users in this group. How much more on the outside web? We can even see that there are too many online merchants now that accepts bitcoin as a way of payment so, that means that there a lot of consumers there including me considers bitcoin as a mode of payment. With the benefits of Bitcoin, I'm sure that it will dominate the entire world.

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?
user of bitcoin from year to year always increase, and in this year greatly increasing rapidly..
i think in 2016 this more than 1 millions..

Of course we are under the million. My rough guess of monthly active users would be around 250 000 users.

As here in the forum we have 600000 people are registered here in the forum. Apart from that many people left from the forum. So we cannot speculate the number of people using bitcoins. with bitcoin, Users also became anonymous around here.

Around 8 millions is my estimation. But yet this is just the guess. There is no relevant mechanism or survey that could get us the correct data about number of Bitcoin users. I caz see how this could be possible. Also I think that this number may vary from time to time because some new users are coming but also some are leaving the community.

about 7 million  Smiley


We're over 10 million already worldwide. As we're in the end of 2016, I guess we'll get just a bit over 100k more new users until 2017.

Maybe there are 10 millions people which are using bitcoin right now. In my country, where there is a law of bitcoin restriction, more than 100000 people are holding bitcoin for many purposes. And guess what, people are still having bitcoin although there is not any store accepting bitcoin
well we can only make a speculation , noone could calculate the exact number. there's too much things to do to make a research on this. and also there is super private feature in bitcoin that allows you to hide your bitcoin without noone noticed. this is how bitcoin run.
well it is true that many bitcoin is being used anonymously. And I think it even proves that there are countless people using bitcoin at present, which means after a few more decades, bitcoin will be well-known in this planet

We know that we only have 530320 adresses with 1 or more btc. Each adress may belong only to 1 bitcoiner, but each bitcoiner can posess more than 1 adress. Thus I assume that we have less than 500000 solid bitcoiners (with 1 btc or higher amount). The others we can throw away as immaterial

/r/bitcoin is what? regedit? well, I don't use it...

I want to know how many people lost their wallets, for sure it's a large number, the 2013 people maybe...

In the start, i also earn the bitcoin, because only for testing, actually bitcoin was the first crypto currency, which i hear first time, so i thought what is bitcoin? So i want to check it that's why i start bitcoin from earning, But now i have trust on it and recently i bought the bitcoins and also i bought first time before the Halving.

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.
may be 1-2 milions people use bitcoin even more than that but i can't mention exact figures
