- There are 8 billion people in the world. We can assume that most of them care about their sovereignty and privacy with some exceptions.
Based on Pareto principle we can assume (with a significant margin of error but there are no fool-proof stats anyway)
- 20% acted about their digital sovereignty and privacy (used VPNs) = ~1.5-2Bn
- 20% have played with crypto = 400-500M
- 20% had exposure to bitcoin = ~100M
- 20% are still holding = ~20M
- 20% use self-custody = ~4-5M
- 20% multisig = ~800k-1M
- 20% hold no KYC sats = ~200k
- 20% run a bitcoin node = ~50k
- 20% run a lightning node and/or
build/write on nostr = ~10k
- 20% run a nostr relay = ~2k
- 20% may fetch this note from their relay = 400
- 20% may read it = 80
- 20% may engage with it - 15-20
- 20% may send a zap - 3-5
- 20% may send a fat zap - 1
Still early.
