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 they know the actual number of people using bitcoin because there is a people that is assigned to know it. Actually they can count it when we make an account because there is a record if when someone make an account or join here in bitcoin.
