Hi I wonder about the demographics of bitcoin. Who uses it, race, location, gender?

I read the coindesk paper on it, but wonder if there is some other more updated documentation on it.

Regards

That will be hard to know. It is growing and there is no one really counting it. Who are you? Are you with the CIA? Grin

I think no one can tell. There are a lot of people out there who is supporting it not just here. If you will turn in social medias a lot have been posting different things like referrals, hyip and other scams. Grin

There are no studies pertaining who uses bitcoin. It seems impossible right now since users can have multiple wallets, then studying base on wallets is not applicable. Then we study based on identity but of course there is secrecy in bitcoin transactions so that cannot be applied. In short getting the demography of bitcoin users is impossible. The only plausible question that we might answer is the location, as to what countries are engaged in bitcoin.

My suggestions are:

99% Men,from which 55% white,40% asian and 5% other. Grin

This is just a suggestion,i don`t know where to find demographic data about this.

Bitcoin will spread very fast,if more women start using it...

That's funny. Grin

I don't think also that is the exact percentage of it. There are a lot other countries here. I see it in other languages. I think 60 percent are Asian. Grin

A lot of different types of people uses it , but the people from I.T in my view is the users that give more support and use it.
Traders only trade, the most part of they don't give a fuck about technology.

Hi jza? I am curious what made you wonder about the demographics of the users of bitcoins? Where will you use it? I have also research about the users of bitcoins in the net but I haven't found any articles regarding the demographics of bitcoins users. But If I were you, if this demographic is really important, you can conduct a survey here at bitcoin talk. You can post a survey right? For sure a lot of people will be more than willing to help you. Because they might also be able to use it someday.

bitcoin has been spread globally, as i can tell you there are a lot of bitcoin user in my country even though there has been no store or any bitcoin atm machine here, my friends who used bitcoin is ranged 16-30 years old

I think all of use used to know or know people who are in this range and use bitcoin,same here as you said
we dont have bitcoin atm or almost no stores,but people use it,they just buy it directly in the web.

Even if we don't have bitcoin atm or shops to use our bitcoins we can anytime convert it to our local currency very easily and in future we will find many place where we can use bitcoin directly.

There was a research conducted in this area already one and half year ago.
You find the article on insidebitcoins http://insidebitcoins.com/news/who-uses-bitcoin-the-answer-may-surprise-you/24901

"The average respondent age was about 33 years old, and nearly half indicated that they lived in the United States."

This article somehow convinced me that the west are the one who's making the pump on the coin and the chinese that what other's people think. Given by some the news I think most of the chinese that hold coins are the miners and the whales is on the US.

To bad that this article lacks source material. Besides it was just a survey run on 1200 people, that's a bit small quantity of respondents to make this a good and representative
study. However it definitely shows something, is the main group of bitcoiners among those 1200 respondents? Rather shows who actually takes part in surveys.

And this is much closer to the truth IMO. 16-30.
Do we count bag-holders? Whales? They dont use BTC they just store them.

Its truly hard to find out the people who use bitcoin. In my view unlike race, profession and other personality more people after understanding its true nature and growing potential.

Could you add where you come from please? This makes it easier to get an image about where Bitcoin popularity is increasing.
If you do not name the country directly, you can even point to an geographical area Wink

it would have been so great if we could know this but unfortunately there is no complete information about this, i mean you can find some small studies with a little group like what pawel7777 said but that doesn't show anything really.

another thing that you can do to get that kind of information is to ask a big website like blockchain.info, coinbase, gyft,.. and services like that to give you statistics on where their users come from based on IP but again that information is not really 100%.

I regularly use my bitcoin for a whole range of products.
We are in the top 10 most bitcoin friendly countries so have plent of nice start ups to chose from.
