How Long Did It Take To Reach 50 Million Users?

Imagine you are in the early 1900s. You have a revolutionary invention. How long do you think it would take for your invention to reach 50 million users? The first plane was made in December 1903 and it took exactly 68 years to reach 50 million users.

With instant communication, developing networks and revolutionary digital products, it is no longer as difficult as it used to be to exceed the 50 million user threshold. As a matter of fact, the Pokemon GO example shows us this. Just as an innovative product, Pokemon GO reached 50 million users in just 19 days.

What is the Situation with Cryptocurrencies?

How many people use cryptocurrencies instantly? It’s not easy to measure. For this reason, we make some inferences by making predictions on wallet addresses.

As of January 1, 2018, there are more than 24 million Bitcoin and 31 million Ethereum wallets. If we define 1 user for each wallet address, we can say that the 50 million user threshold has been exceeded in 9 years for the adventure that started in January 2009.
