This conversation is getting further and further into the ungrounded speculations... I say whoaza to all of it...

daily users = peeps who have held or used $1k of bitcoin over the past year   - 14 million peeps

recently fomoed - perhaps only $100 of bitcoin or more in the past year  - 45-70 million peeps  (that is just amazing speculation to assert)

total number "exposed" whatever that means (they heard about bitcoin - 700 million peeps .... OMG... you are grasping, and who cares about the 700 million who heard about bitcoin, they have not yet acted in any kind of material way, and if you really ask them to describe bitcoin, they have more than a 95% chance of getting it wrong in a large way and not having any kind of clue about how to get started or even having any motivation to get started.

I will agree with you that it is going to be amazing to get these 10% to onboard, but good luck accomplishing that in the next 5 years.

Can you provide a source for 14 million daily users?  Was that on the FoMO peak day?

I  believe that Toxic really did justice to "toxic" this time, and perhaps it was hallucinogenic mushrooms?


Did I miss the speculation part of this thread? That is what we are doing is it not? I am just extrapolating data as I see it JJG. I am far from a expert so you cant take it for what it is.
As of last year however there were up to 5.8 million unique bitcoin addresses...so  I guess the numbers are off if you think all the normies have full nodes. I highly doubt it myself, most dont even know what a node is. I would say most keep their corns insecurely on exchanges or phone apps. What do you think the adoption rate has been over the last few months? I feel like its increasing dramatically..people I havent talked to in ages are calling and asking about bitcoin. My sister for crying out loud called me not a week ago and asked if I could help her understand bitcoin. WAKE THE FUCK UP!

Here is a study Cambridge University did last year, so I cant confirm its veracity. How ever it does have some interesting data that I qouted above. I am purely speculating when I say 14 million but when dealing with exponential increases by the time you realize it is upon you its already happened.

Anyway..back to my cave.
