Topic: How many people were into bitcoin in 2009? - page 2. (Read 2309 times)
I started hearing about bitcoin in 2010, but I really didn't know what it was about and I was also busy with the university so I couldn't give then enough care or interest, only now that I'm giving it a real use I understand the benefits and utilities that blockchain can provide us.
Maybe a few 100s. Boy! $5 would gave gotten me $4.4 million. I need to go back in time
If we only wishes were roses, all men would have loved to go back in 2009 to gather more Bitcoin but believe you mean, some folks wouldn't still believe in it still.
I can offer what very few or coins people got a chance then, because there was no demand for bitcoin and nobody really knew that this great coin das such a huge percentage.
I really wish I have known btc that time.

We can get an idea about how many users for bitcoin in 2009 by digging our forum's history.There were only 9 people were registered in thos forum 2009 which shows that no one really using bitcoins at the time and it will be very low amount of people who owns it for something at that time.

Buy one now and just sit on it for 5 years. In 5 years look back and you will see NOW as the good old days. Like the one's who put down 5 dollars in '09.
Can not predict, because people know the internet at that time is very minimal and limited. To learn the computer must take turns and that too must be in an internet cafe, but it is not unexpected that bitcoin can grow well and have extraordinary advantages.
It is very hard to give a definite number regarding this. But it would be 1/10th of the current number.

I don't know about this but what I know that year was the initial effort of bitcoin and was born out of it and I am sure that only a few have used it so it is no more than now in my opinionFor sure not a lot of people took it seriously back then. Honestly if i heard about btc around that time i woouldn't even give it a second look. If only we could've been more open then but hey, that's just how things go. Bitcoin's current prive takes us back to early 2017 before it made a run for it's peak. Hope people learned their lessons now 😜
How would more people with a 20,000 usd node help with decentralization?
Nodes don't need to be a small server farm to run.. More cheap nodes would be better for decentralization than a few high end ones.
I do not know this question that I know about this is the beginning of the beginning of bitcoin and that is what I realize and what I think is definitely a bitcoin user at that time a little because the beginning of the beginning has not been known at this time all over the world Nodes don't need to be a small server farm to run.. More cheap nodes would be better for decentralization than a few high end ones.

Was it in the 100s or 1000s? I tried googling without any luck.
Also, a quote I saw a lot after the recent talk by everyone's favourite: “Fuck Raspberry Pis, if you can't afford a $20,000 node to help the network, piss off.”
Watched the whole thing and what was actually said: “Quite frankly, I don't care about Raspberry Pis. If you have been in Bitcoin since 2009 and you can't afford a $20,000 node to help this network, piss off.”
So, what would that mean? How much would that help in terms of decentralization and the network in general if everybody that was into bitcoin in 2009 had a $20,000 node?

Nobody was in it but just those who are called "geeks" and computer nerds who had the chance to get those, and nobody had taught that it would be much expensive nowadays.
The "lowest userid in 2010" that's not been deleted was AgoraMutual (userid 21).
So it's safe to assume that no more than 20 people were members of this forum in 2009.
(In fact, I recall that among those first 20 users were at least 3 that were not "real people" but rather an admin account and two "test users", AFAIR).
Of course, there were probably a few more people "into Bitcoin" than just the members of this forum, but its also safe to assume that the forum community was a large share of all active Bitcoins users.
It follows that in 2009, the whole Bitcoin community was comprised of hardly more than one hundred, maybe with some stretch of the imagination a few hundred people. Give or take.
My personal guess would be less than 100.

I have no idea how many people were into bitcoin in 2009 but my guess is probably 100 or more because it is the first one.i concept already bitcoin maybe they are many people connected to the creator.
As at 2009, I'm sure only a few people would be involved in bitcoin. it just spread to many countries recently like 2011 upward.
Exactly, that is what I was also thinking about. I believe the number would be far smaller, probably less than 1000. In every venture, it is not easy for people to accept it with ease when something new is introduced in any society and this has always been the case in many parts of the world. 
Only a handful of people were interested in using Bitcoin at the time of the year 2009. As the Internet was new, Bitcoin did not have a lot of influence and value.
At first bitcoiner was only a little because there was nothing special about it. and i think the addition of bitcoiner is the biggest in 2017, where prices are soaring fantastic, and many people want to get money easily

Oh I am not in, in that year. I really like to have a bitcoin and if I will turn back time and if I just known bitcoin as early as I could I will earn it and wait until today, maybe if many people known bitcoin for that year and earn a lot for sure a lot of us are all rich.
Me too, on that year I never knew bitcoin like you if I could turn back the time and I met bitcoin maybe now I am one richest person, and most people are become more successful. But I am so thankful now even I am late knowing bitcoin I earn big profit now in my investment. Was it in the 100s or 1000s? I tried googling without any luck.

I researched it once when i am newbie in bitcoin and i found out tha there were only 70-90 people who knows and has bitcoin in their account. These were very lucky that they know already bitcoin maybe they are connected to the creator. I know we all want is to go back tha time when it was.
