There's 0 chance of ever finding out the answer. If I just opened 1000 wallets but nothing is in the m I still have 1000 wallets. Who knows how many people have wallets with zero balances in them at this point. Probably tons!

wow interesting do you really have opened 1000 wallet? is it possible to open such a huge number of bitcoin wallet, and why you need to open to such big number of online wallet, either they have 0 balance in most of them. very honestly i have two online bitcoin wallets one is for the bitcoin which i use for trading and the second is for the signature campaign, where i have my signature campaign income.

I doubt that he can open 1000 wallets. He just a liar because it is impossible to handle more than 100 wallets. I think I do not understand what wallet is and what address is. He probably has 1000 addresses but he can never own more than 50 wallets.
Generating Bitcoin wallet costs a lot of time and if you use Bitcoin core or electrum, it may take up to 1 day to successfully create a wallet

I don’t think it is impossible, it is impractical but not impossible especially if you use a client like electrum or multibit, you only need to install the software and within it you can create several wallets, I don’t know if there is a limit to how many wallets you can create, but if there isn’t then you could create as many wallets a your hard drive could store.

One of the questions which made me curious, remember that bitcoin wallet consists of 34 digits, then the chance of wallet that can be opened is the number of outstanding figures and is unlikely to be spent by all users while each day a user is using a new wallet.

Do you know the number of wallets opened so far? Do we know the number of people using bitcoin?
Where can I get this information? Thank you.

Honestly i really don't know how many company or people are opened bitcoin wallets since its privately and anonymous we can not know how many of them also we do not know if how many people are using bitcoin but we can give some estimate i think almost worldwide we have 15%-25% who use bitcoin.. this is just speculation but this is not the actual number of people.. no one can know how much and how many people are using bitcoin..
Unless if you are asking for the price we had bitcoinwisdome which is you can use for analyse the movement of price and the updated price of bitcoin..

Bitcoin is decentralized. You can't obtain this information. You can only make educated guesses.

So i will make one. Discarding all fake wallets and dust i would say there are 2-4 millions of wallets and around 2 million of bitcoin users.
Its good userbase but can be bigger, in future it will be, but we must adjust bitcoin code for it.

each user may have at least 2 wallet though 1 wallet not so actively used, I myself have two and some friends also only have two purses, I do not know they are honest or not.

It is very clear that we cannot find how many wallets are opened so far and how many people are using bitcoin as each transaction are having mostly unique wallet address as almost all wallets are generating new address as soon as the old address is used in any transaction. But even if you find the number of wallets opened then also you cannot find the number of peoples using bitcoin as their are users who are using multiple wallets for bitcoin.

So it is very clear that nothing can be done for your query.

There is not much of a point to know the number of wallets since someone could create a script that created tons of light wallets like multibit, the number of people using bitcoin is more relevant but unfortunately there is simple no way to know for sure how many people there are using bitcoin and holding bitcoin.

No one knows because theres no statistics regarding on this matter because people could able to make multiple addresses and if we are askin about the precise number of individual who uses bitcoin then we would really have a hard time on knowing it or not possible at all.

And anonymity is one of the biggest feature of bitcoins and if by any reason that is disturbed its a loosing situation for a bitcoin user. And why would someone need such analysis ? Really it seems awkward why someone is asking for such details.

You can never know the exact number of wallets because bitcoin is anonymous and I doubt that 50% of bitcoin users will tell you that they are using Bitcoin. Most of them will hide the truth and deny to admit that Bitcoin is an important part of their life. Therefore, I doubt that you can calculate this data

Forget about knowing on how many total wallets have been opened. Yourself is the only one who knows your password and even the online wallets provider aren't going to disclose these type of information as everything when it's related to bitcoin wallets all of them are confidential. It will good that this thread should be closed already, as you know the majority answers.

This information have been discussed on this site already. But to me this questions are not so interesting. I'm more curious about how many wallets with bitcoins on it are not used anymore and how we can unblock this bitcoin and put them in use?

it is very difficult to find the number of people using bitcoin or how many people have open wallets so far because many user have different wallet address so it is difficult to ans such questions.....

even though the number of wallets will not be counted, so I think there is no urgency to calculate total bitcoin users. you will only buangh your time in vain, only to things like that

I think we can't determine on how many bitcoin users are there and also about wallets opened 1 person can open a lot of wallets it depends where they use it. Bitcoin users escalate from 2013 to present, and it escalates more when the bitcoin value increases to $800. And what's the topic all about? There are many topic here that is like yours,

Yes, actually, that's what I want to learn. How many people use bitcoin?
As you say, a person can open more than one wallet. The number of opened wallets does not directly number the person.
This graph also gives the number of online wallet users. We do not know the number of people using a desktop or mobile wallet.

But at least as many people as online wallets are using it. I guess the actual number is 2-3 times that.

This have been asked many times in this forum and answer is no we can't know how much people are using bitcoin and we can't estimate total number of bitcoin wallets created so far.

In the above link, we can actually see total number of bitcoin address that is holding at least some satoshi but don't know this is exact number or not.

It would be very hard to count how many total bitcoin wallet had been opened because there are now lots of wallet providers. Aside from that, some people here have multiple wallets. There are also some people who discontinued using bitcoin and abandoned their online wallets!

I cant say it is impossible. there must be somewhere in the algorithm of bitcoins that how many total used addressees associated with each wallet and how many total wallets being used. But to count how many people using is impossible as there is no information on that.

Blockchain Web wallet have 11+ millions users. You can check here https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/. Other Web wallets do not have so many users. Regarding hardware wallets -

it is very hard to say, how many users install Bitcoin wallet.

That is astonishing. I know that there are many people using Bitcoin at present but I can't believe that there have been 11+ millions people come from Blockchain.info. this is

new to me. I am really happy to know that the number of people keep increasing every day
We can never know the exact number of Bitcoin users since Bitcoin is created for the anonymity and for protecting its user.

Yes, may be its amazing but this number does not tell anything about how many people keep bitcoins in blockchain.info. For me, I have only in bc.i two wallets. First one when I started to learn about bitcoin which has no any funds and I don't remember password and seed. Second one which I keep it only because I have a network address and I don't want to change it but I rarely use it. So, this is a fictitious number and maybe would be more useful the bc.i to give us any clue how many of these wallets has bitcoins and last time people had accessed them.
