Ok that is people HEARING of Bitcoin...

More than 25 million addresses have been referenced in those 31 million transactions. The total number of addresses, of course, gives an upper limit for the number of possible bitcoin users. Naturally, not every address ever referenced is still in use. In fact, it turns out that less than 10 percent actually have any bitcoins in – fewer than 2.5 million.

So that means an absolute maximum of around 2.5 million people own bitcoins right now. But approximately half of these addresses have very, very small amounts of bitcoin in – what is termed ‘dust’, or less than one millibit (0.001 btc). The total balance of all of those 1.2 million addresses is only 121 bitcoins, which means they each hold an average of just 0.0001 btc. In dollar terms and at current values, these 1.2 million ‘dust’ addresses hold a maximum of $0.80 and an average of $0.08.



Roughly 1.2 Million BTC addresses have a meaningful quantity of BTC in them (Read more: http://bitscan.com/bitnews/item/how-many-people-really-own-bitcoins-and-why-does-it-matter)

7 Billion+ people living on earth...

1,200,000 / 7,000,000,000 x 100 = 0.017% of the worlds population hold meaningful amounts of BTC ($0.80+)

Only a matter of time folks before it gets globally adopted even stronger than it is now, when people can actually live off of bitcoin...

Just talking about this gives me goosebumps...BTC will re-sculpt the world's outlook on currency...Cryptocurrency = The Truth
