I have a feeling that bitcoins doesn't really circulate in the economy. Most of the time, bitcoin is being kept by hoarders expecting for a price increase. Because of that, only a fraction of the available coins are in circulation; ret are kept on cold storages.
I don't know if there is any way to get this kind of information, but I would be willing to bet a lot of coins haven't moved wallets in a long time.
(Maybe you can get stats about the total available bitcoins, versus the amount of transactions per day and average transaction amount and get a rough estimate.)
Most Bitcoin owners are just sitting with coins either in wallets or on some kind of exchange.
If we want to create more users and increase the price of BTC, this will have to change.
Bitcoin needs to actually be used to purchase goods, transferred back and forth between people, if we want it to expand and become more popular.
