The last time someone did this, they mistakenly used "0-5 BTC" as the lowest cutoff. You've made the same mistake. There should be "0-0.25", "0.25-0.5", "0.5-0.75", "0.75-1", "1-2", "2-3", "3-4", and "4-5". Extra poll options are better because now we've lost valuable information at the low end. In 20 minutes, 65 people say they own 0-5 BTC. That's anywhere from $0 to $1385. That's a massive range. We now have no idea how many "casual" bitcoiners there are, because casuals will only have like $200 max. EDIT: Here's what your poll looks like as of t=35min: ▆▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂ Leftmost bar is 0-5BTC. Rightmost bar is 100+BTC. Oh look, now we know basically nothing about the two most interesting ranges. EDIT2: As of t=44min: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=bar+chart+154+21+26+15+7+2+3+1+3+2+3+35 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=bar+chart+154+21+26+15+... ... Pretty hilarious.

If we had a list of all the bitcoin wallet values (even estimated) we could use this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenks_natural_breaks_optimization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenks_natural_breaks_optimizati...

  It should be relativly simple to generate such a list. Unfourtuantly, the best I could find (in 5 minutes of googleing) is [1], which shows the ballance of a single account as a function of time.

Last I checked, I owned $0.25 worth of bitcoin. Where's my "just here to say I bought bitcoin before it was cool" option?

  If you bought $0.25 before it was cool, you probably have over $1000 in bitcoin (like me) by now.

Or use a logarithmic scale: 0 < x <= 0.1, 0.1 < x <= 0.3, 0.3 < x <= 1, 1 < x <= 3, 3 < x <= 10, 10 < x <= 30, ...
