Where did you get your 869,910 from? My guess is that there may very well be of the order of at least 100,000,000 people in the world with per capita income of $10,000+. If someone opens an a/c and never uses it, that hardly represents penetration! There are about 150,000 funded e-gold a/cs. Some active users have multiple a/cs -- I have about 10. Allowing for this, there may be about 100,000 active e-gold users. These numbers and assumptions suggest a market penetration of about 0.1% of the target market.

Am I mistaking, or do we have a serious math problem here ? According to your own figures, there are 45 countries where the per capita income OVER $ 10,000 Just taking into account the EEC (350 M), and the US / Canada (260 M), Japan, Oil producing countries and a few others (Swiss) we have close to a Billion people with (a lot) more than 10k per capita / per annum. Questions : - Where does the 869,910 figure come from ? (unless that's K people) - Who said most e-gold customers don't have (a lot) more than only one account ? - How many of the e-gold accoutns are active (or even funded with more than milligrams) ? I'd rather say that e-gold has reached 0.xx % (zero point xx percent) of the global target market at this point ! Patrick, AnyGoldNow.com Assuming folks with per capita income over $10,000 would be the target market for gold, that means there are approx 869,910 people who are candidates. Since e-gold now has 491,415 accounts, it looks like they reached 56.5% of the target market. That's quite an impressive reach. And for those offering cards, it's quite difficult for somebody to pay heavy fees in many parts of the world. How can somebody in Indonesia, China and India, with 41.5% of the population, and with average per capita income of USD $649, afford cards?
