Bitcoin related info needed on Brazil - Please help! Bounty offered!!

Hello,

My name is Ronny Boesing, CEO of Danish bitcoin exchange in Denmark.

I am planning an intense distribution of our bitcoin debit card NanoCard  (http://www.forbes.com/sites/rogeraitken/2015/07/16/is-the-nanocard-bitcoins-killer-app-can-it-transform-the-global-remittance-market/)in 2016 and in connection with this I am preparing a business plan potentially involving Brazil as the primary country intended location for testing all in full. As we are working on bitcoin ATM production and potential location for this as well, the information achieved will be used for both plans.

The focus is to choose between some of the top 20 most populated countries in the world, however all developing countries and all with different strong points, but also with various barriers to be considered prior to initiating a big contract for deployment:

The countries in question are:

Turkey - 77 million
Philippines 102 million
Brazil - 204 mill
Nigeria - 182 million
Egypt although only like 90 million.


The questions I need answered for Brazil are as follows:

1. How many bitcoin nodes are there in the country, if any? (75)
2. What are the bitcoin or crypto exchanges in the country? (25 per exchange mentioned)
3. What is the approximate amount of bitcoin owners (75)
4. What is the approximate amount of bitcoins traded monthly? (75)
5. Is there any crypto or bitcoin ATM's? (50)
6. Is there a bitcoin community or crypto community in general, if so, where are they found and what is approx. amount of members (75)
7.What is the preferred social media for bitcoin fans? (50)
8. If possible mention a top 10 most active Twitter handles, as well as top 10 most active facebook accounts, both regarding bitcoin. (100)
9. What are the local magazines or blogs writing about bitcoin or crypto in general? (100)
10. What percentage of bitcoin or crypto owners do not have a bank account? (100)
11. What percentage of population lives in areas without access to creditcard ATM's within a 25 kilometer radius? (100)
12. Canyou mention any payment providers allowing instant deposits of Lira, or from Lira to USD, EUR or other? (100)

I have mentioned in parenthesis the offer in OBITS per answered question from above to anyone posting here the answer first, thank you.

If you want to know more about www.obits.io check out the website or read about it in other thread here on site, just search obits, and you will find plenty.

You're probably mentioning the local currency, what in the case of Brazil we have Brazilian Real (BRL).
I can't remeber a payment processor, but in Brazil you can pay most things with a "boleto bancário", which is proof of debt with all the info like who is going to pay, to which bank account it will go and etc. "PagueComBitcoin" (PayWithBitcoin) is a payment processor which you send Bitcoin and they pay your "boleto", but they are built on top of Coindesk automated system to receive the Bitcoin.

1- 24 currently
2- www.foxbit.com.br ; www.mercadobitcoin.com.br ; bitcointoyou.com ; trader.flowbtc.com ; www.negociecoins.com.br
3- I do not think we have this number
4- In November it was 12k+
5- There is one, inside a University only
6- Among all the groups, you will find about 15k members
7- Mostly facebook in general, but some that want to know more and talk about it are starting to use Telegram
8- Concerning to activity I think that you will find only two really active accounts, both belonging to the Foxbit trading platform: twitter.com/foxbit and https://www.facebook.com/foxbitcoin/?fref=ts
9- There are some good ones, bitvalor.com, bitcoin.com.br and www.foxbit.com.br/blog
10- At this point, close to 0%, because there is not a lot ways of buying it right now, besides bank transfering
11- We do not have this specific data, but around 36% of our population lives in the country, but a good part of it can access an ATM in a 25km radius
12- Our currency is BRL, we do not have an instant payment provider, you may use a boleto(pay slip), but it might take up to 3 days to confirm.

Consideraria integrar FoxBit em OpenLedger?

for ronny: I'm asking if he would consider integrating his exchange into OpenLedger. You could probably give him some guidance on how to do it if he's interested
