As requested by @dan in his post https://steemit.com/blockchain/@dan/how-many-active-users-do-bitcoin-ethereum-litecoin-and-ripple-have , I have done some research using my google-fu. The results you can find in attached image; if anyone wants the actual .xlsx-file, just let me know.
@cass , work your visualisation-magic, mate! :)
I'm not much of a writer/analyst, so I'll keep my observations short:
- Litecoin is only traded, not "used". A fate that more and more cryptocurrencies are facing.
- Very limited data is available on amount of bitcoin users.
- Take these numbers with a few grains of salt, please. A lot is "guesstimated"; or the sources may be unreliable.
- This is a "snapshot" only valid for today.
- As I wasn't sure what you meant by "growth rate", I have taken the delta in price over the last 24 hrs.
If you notice something strange or have better info, please let us know in the comments, I'll gladly update/edit this post to be more accurate.
@dan , if you have any other questions/needs, let me know. I'm happy to be able to contribute to this project by saving you some google-time so you can spend it on being the magnificent beast/dev you are.
