Do you have any proof to backup this statement?

Bitcoin related growth abound. The number of My Wallet Users has doubled in the past 6 months.

That sounds like pretty strong, objective evidence. /s

There are Bitcoin bulls and bears. Nothing wrong with being either. But, if you're going to make claims, at least have facts to back them up.


I can't prove it as I'm not the NSA. We're not in court anyway - heuristics here is totally acceptable.

What I proposed was solid - after all the Bitcoin theft recently, many learned to use hot/cold wallets, not split holdings in several wallets, etc.


A good place to see a variety of metrics for bitcoin's growth is here: http://bitcoinpulse.com/

edit: Hmm, after I wrote that I realised it sounds a bit spammy. To be clear: I'm not affiliated in any way with that site.


Lots of people are splitting coins into multiple wallets, duh.
