There are lots of metrics in favour of Bitcoin like the one in Forbes that said the black market is worth 10 trillion dollars and they need a global currency or if only 1% of global transactions went though Bitcoin each coin would be worth ~$64,000.
But this is my favourite:
80% of the worlds population do not have a bank account.
Thats 5.6 Billion people on earth do not have a bank account, let alone a credit card.
20 Million adults in the U.S don't have bank accounts.
1 Million adults in the U.K don't have bank accounts.

Liking the first stat, but yeah as the others said about your second stat. If they don't have a bank account, they're probably too poor to afford a computer or a smartphone to even use bitcoin.
Bit of a shame really. Fiat money will always be more accessible to these people than bitcoin.
Out of interest, how big is silkroad these days? Still growing in userbase and listings?

Therefore, the Bitcoin niche user would be a smartphone owner that doesn't have a bank account. And that number is? (I remember seeing that somewhere, but would be great to read it again in this informative thread)
