There are, at most, 20 million people who own any fraction of a bitcoin. It's accounts for roughly one-third of the market cap for the entire asset class. So let's use that as a proxy (an imperfect one to be sure) for individual ownership. That would suggest that 60 million people own crypto, but that's probably way overstated because owning one altcoin doesn't prevent you from owning another and it can be assumed that there's a huge amount of overlap. So maybe 40 million of the world's 7 billion+ people are in the game. That's right around half a percent.

Who knows how many people know about it?

I suppose that depends on your definition of "know". I wouldn't be surprised to learn that 1 billion people or more have *heard of* crypto. But as you move along the continuum from awareness to learning to solid knowledge to experience to expertise, I'm sure you lose an order of magnitude with each step.


I'm just curious if how many percentages of all the people on earth know about Bitcoin. in my country, I think only 10% knows about it. post your opinion guys.
I think all over the world who know Bitcoin is only a small part. My country Indonesia and who know Bitcoin may be counted, I think that knows Bitcoin in my country is only 5%.
probably know about the crypto currency only 5%, but the community of crypto currency consists of a much smaller number of people. Those who know can only have information from the media and that's it.
