 It’s always going to be hard to accurately estimate who’s paid in #btc it’s possible you could find out roughly how many people work in bitcoin and then make some assumptions, but it would always be literally a best guess.  
Am I right in thinking 2m people use BTC and there’s around 40k merchants.  To coin a phrase “we’re so early” is just about landing on me after hearing about some of the mass adoption strategies of some of the biggest corporations in the market. 
I haven’t read the rest of your note yet.  I will later though 🫂💜 
 🫂. Thanks for responding. I don’t know the numbers. Your guesses might be accurate. My post was to create a dialogue about viable solutions. I think  Bitcoin can be viable. But *how*? That was one of my questions to the Nostr family. We could potentially come up with real innovative and creative solutions to this mess. Like, let’s not rely or wait for corporations to create strategies. I believe power lies with the people. 

Some people might have taken my post as a dig at Bitcoin. But that’s not the case. I’ve written before that I’m a proponent of Bitcoin. I think a lot of factors must be considered for it to work globally. And I would like to see mass adoption. But how does that *really* happen?
