At time of writing 2/7ths of respondents own > 0 bitcoin. Are there many other new technologies you'd expect 2/7ths of all respondents to use/own? Especially one that doesn't really have a direct use to most consumers yet and high risk for people investing.

2/7th's is huge.

It's absolutely huge. If 2/7 of the world population owned bitcoins, there would be at most 0.01 BTC per person.

From HN I'd expect more than that. Don't confuse HN-ers with "general population".
