Is there a way to determine the number of people who are actually using Bitcoin till date? Who would have access to such information? Meaning a way to find out, how many new people have used Bitcoin in 2016 , so that we can say exponential growth is natural not artificially created by hoarders.
I think there is no actual number that will define on how many are the bitcoin users as of now. Because it seems like everyone is anonymous here and even the many very private individuals who are enjoying the good benifits that bitcoin gives. For these days, it depends only on how the stockmarket works and also how many are really interested and willing to know this type of currency in the internet.
