Address counts are a proxy, not a headcount. One person can hold many addresses and one address can front for many people, so read the trend and the turns, not the exact number.

Active addresses counts how many distinct Bitcoin addresses take part in a transaction on a given day, smoothed here over a week. It is one of the oldest network-health measures, meant to answer a simple question: setting price aside, how busy is the network actually?

Over the long run it has broadly tracked price. Bull markets pull new users in and activity climbs, while bear markets thin the crowd out. Because of that, stretches where price runs far ahead of, or far behind, underlying usage can be quietly informative.

The honest caveat is that an address is not a person. A single exchange can route millions of users through a handful of addresses, and one saver can spread coins across dozens. Treat active addresses as a rough pulse of adoption and a useful sanity check, not a precise census.
