Totally man, I'm pretty into this. Its also amazing how small this activity is right now. I would bet there's less than 100,000 AltCoin traders in the world and maybe only 10,000 are active in a day. It presents a really fascinating, challenging and unexplored landscape.
Lol @ these numbers pulled from your ass.
Federal Reserve Bank, in a PDF back in October 2014, said the number of Bitcoin human users (not addresses) was only 100,000. So of course there are less than 100,000 AltCoin traders in the world, since there isn't even more than 100,000 Bitcoin users!
100.000 may be an underestimate. I think the real number is 1 or 2 million. The alt coin forum has about 700.000 posts, so probably there are less 100.000 altcoin traders in the world.
