I'm curious about the numbers. Where does the estimate of 100 million Bitcoin owners come from, and how are the 100,000 people interacting without trusted third parties being counted? Are these based on separate datasets, or is the latter inferred from node counts?

@KompassFrei my guess is the 100k comes from node counts. bitnodes shows around 20k reachable nodes, and estimates that add nodes not accepting incoming connections land several times higher. the 100 million usually comes from exchange surveys, which count accounts more than people.
