I thought it was something like 0.02% have adopted Bitcoin which of course isn't a lot for the price is it at.

10-20%? bitcoin is skyrocket now so in a year there will be more people knowing it .
Woah, 10% of all internet users? That's insane man, I don't think more than 2% of internet users use bitcoin, and that's still a very large guess. You have to remember the internet is huuuge.
10 % is really to much.
2 % also.
I guess even 0.2 or 0.1 % is also to much.
None of my Internet friends use actively bitcoin and just a few even heard about it and I really have a lot friends online.
Any way, you have to look atr it from different perspective.
if someone is not interesting in mining or investing in Bitcoin, what is his/her benefit of using bitcoin?
Where they can spend it?
Bitcoin is still at very early stage very fare from becoming mainstream.

I'd imagine it to be a very small amount, like 0.1 / 0.001 % maybe but that's a complete guestimate.
Would be interesting to know the average amount of wallets each bitcoiner has, personally had at least ten different blockchain wallets, not that I'm a scammer

Was going to get the community involved in this. Although by the lack of input decided to do it at mainly at my own but with some help.

that made me lol hard. I think lots of people have "heard" of bitcoin, most ppl i talk to have. I've yet to meet someone irl who uses bitcoins, other than ppl i've talking into holding a few. I'd say its very small still, but growing rapidly.

Does anyone know a reputable source with this data ?
If not - make your random guesses here.

Plus it has first mover advantage.

And don't forget that most people involved in Bitcoin are either miners or investors hoping to get rich, which is why most threads on this forum are about how to make/earn more of them or what the price is/should be.
No-one has ever been able show actual stats for 'real' transactions involving BTC, but my guess is that when gambling or silk road is excluded then the number is very tiny indeed.
The real problem is that it's not clear that for many people that Bitcoin actually offers any real advantages for transactions, other than limited examples of international P2P transfers. BTC transactions aren't free (miners fees and costs of buying/selling Bitcoins), aren't anonymous and all parties take substantial risk of price deviation if any element involves any currency other than BTC.
I think bitcoin's #1 advantage is the fact that it's not owned by any corporation or bank. That in itself makes bitcoin more desirable.

Around 0.000071% - but that's a generous estimate.. in fact less than 185k people (not much more than the number of registered users on the bitcointalk forum - currently 151k) hold as much as 1BTC. The total number of keys holding 1BTC or more is currently ~223k however around 35k of those keys are the satoshi wealth (unmoved 50BTC coinbases). There's a report on my site; http://www.klmist.com/keysreport.html that updates daily showing the number of keys holding various amounts. I think it's fair to say that almost everyone who uses bitcoin is registered on bitcointalk.
A lot of those registered accounts are bots or sockpuppets/scammers, the true number of accounts is probably like 10% of that, and that's being generous. Each scammer probably has at least a dozen accounts.

10-20%, don't be silly. Most people I know haven't even heard of it.

1% of the world would be about 70-million people. With only 21 million bitcoin that comes out to about 1/3 of bitcoin each person on average. So it is possible you could be quite well off if you hold even a small number of bitcoin.
The big road block right now is barrier to entry. When anybody can use bitcoin as easily as using the Internet or a credit card (or nearly as easily) without fear or specialized knowledge, adoption can really move forward at an even faster pace than now (which is still very fast)

0.00001%, even 1% is enough for Bitcoin to hit $1000. If you compare to the world, Bitcoin is really small
