What’s your evidence? We have two separate measures, one higher than River’s and one lower. But this is in line with a lot of surveys actually. You “just know”? Fits also with etf, exchange numbers, hardware wallet sales and wallet downloads… (trust wallet alone has 200 million downloads) but you just know.

Go to your local grocery store, work(non Bitcoin company), mechanic, HVAC company, bank. Ask them if the have heard of Bitcoin. Roughly 90% will have heard about it. Maybe 20% will have an idea of what it actually is. 10% may own it.

Addresses are not people. I have hundreds of addresses, most not linked and KYC free. So how many people am I?

There are about 260 million adults in the US. There is exactly zero chance 25% of US adults own Bitcoin. Not even 25% own 'crypto', nevermind Bitcoin.

Even counting a husband and wife as community property you don't get there.

It's a fucking pipe dream to think 25% of Americans own Bitcoin.

Absurd.

I think you're right.

Maybe they counted every exposure to btc as 'owning', like your ETF has 0,5%BTC they count you as an owner or something like that.

Maybe. Owning .00000005btc from a xrp swap gone bad isn't owning Bitcoin.

Dead people don't own Bitcoin.

Lost keys folks don't own that Bitcoin.

I am 100% with you.

Tough to say.

Honestly, I'd like to see a Gallup poll that tracks it over the next decade.

No poll, study or math can be fully accurate. I absolutely wish it was 50M, 75M, 100M, but it's not close.
