Looks like you're right. I apologize for the duplication of the topic, I did not find it before I made my translation. Probably my topic should be removed or closed? I ask the board of moderators.

I made my analysis here: Assumed monthly statistics on registered accounts of bitcointalk.org (2009-2019). Below is abstract of my analysis, if you want to get full details, please visit my thread.
ABSTRACT

(1) Despite the rise of bitcoin to around $14,000, monthly registered accounts in last few months are too far away from all time high at 238433, in Dec. 2017.
(2) Minimum and maximum are 3 and 238433, in Nov. 2009, and December 2017, respectively.
(3) 50% of months (from Nov. 2009 to June 2019) have total monthly registered accounts in the range from 2611 to 24472 (the interquatile range).
(4) 50% of those months have total monthly registered accounts above or below 10691 (the median).
(5) The lowest and highest medians (of months for each year) found at 148 and 66895, in 2010 and 2018.
(6) From peaks on 20/12/2017, BTC close price and monthly registered accounts decreased 91.3%, and  81%, respectively, on 15/12/2018.
(7) Since 15/12/2018, BTC close price and monthly registered accounts increased 159%, and  7.8%, respectively, on 1/6/2019.

* Details of points (6), (7), please read the second post of this thread.

BTC to the MOON in 2019
Great job, this stats are necessary for advertisers in the forum, that's why I can say signature campaign will always exist in the forum due to the kind of exposure they will get from millions of members.
Not much really, other than signature promotors, bounty hunters, the member would drop significantly to 10% in my opinion (less than 1% as per actmyname). I am too agreed with his logic behind it. The forum was created to spread, support, sharing knowledge about bitcoin but how much of us doing that or holding at least 1 BTC? I doubt the ratio would then be 1% of the current amount.
It could drop when they temporarily loss their interest, there could also be a correlation to the market movement, but since they have already registered, we can expect they'll be back soon interested in crypto, that's what matters a lot IMO.
True but at the end, most of those accounts are alt as well. To be honest, this forum has only a few people who are either real investor of bitcoin or just love to promote bitcoin.
That's 2.6 million in total, and assuming you are correct, what's the percentage of the real investor of bitcoin?

Good stats. It shows how much interest there is out of crypto space about Bitcoin.
Interest, yes, but I'm sure a lot of the registrations are alt accounts looking to participate in bounties and campaigns.

Normally I wouldn't give out merits for a data compilation like this, but I found this interesting and never would have sought out the numbers on my own.  Thanks to OP for compiling them.  I'm not surprised about the 2017 data since the registrations increased as bitcoin shot toward its all-time high.  There probably were a lot of people being drawn in just out of interest based on what the price was doing--and after the crash, during the time when bitcoin was stuck in that $3500 range, registrations went down significantly.  Makes sense.

We are far from new ATH. We are now still in end of 2015 or early 2016.
Given how volatile and unpredictable bitcoin is, we're really not that far away.  It's quite possible that bitcoin could shoot past $20k at some point this year (but I'm hoping it doesn't).

I was actually expecting bigger fluctuation during the time Bitcoin boomed and fell back down again. It would be interesting to look at the data in which people signed up during the boom of Bitcoin and how many users are still active several months after. Whether we are retaining users because they are interested in discussion of Bitcoin or because they wanted to get in on the action and get rich and as soon as it dropped down again they bailed.

I've been thinking about this as well. It seems like the interest in bitcoin hasn't or isn't increasing nearly as much compared to the previous ATH.

But... Most of the people that signed up during that bull run were A. bounty hunters from (mostly) 3rd world countries, and B. 90% of the people that signed up never made a single post. So what interest was really displayed here..

Good stats. It shows how much interest there is out of crypto space about Bitcoin. Today there is less then it was in November last year.  So much for those that expect new ATH any moment.  

It was bound to happen, the supply of people interested in cryptocurrencies isn't limitless. There's also competition in the form of discord/reddit/telegram/twitter/facebook. It'd be better to compare real cumulative volume across all cryptocurrency exchanges to get a clearer picture of actual interest in Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies.

BTW, forum ad stats also give a rough view of forum activity: https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adstats

So many accounts register that don't even make one post though.  The stats make this forum look a lot more active then it truly is.  Factor in how many people make multiple accounts and the number of actual new users is kinda low.

I don't know about this. I started in crypto early 2017 but I did not register here until October. The interest when I joined was not so much in bitcoin but interest in making money from airdrops. Many of the airdrops back in 2017 would require hunters to register and comment on their ANN.

It's understandable during the period of ATH, there was no merit system.
Most of them were looking to spam and probably farm accounts too.
I think most have realized that it's so hard to do it under the merit system
