Interesting to see that the trend is currently hot in Ghana. Anyone knows what is the reason or is it an error?

Countries like Singapore, Ukraine and Indonesia are potentially leading the adoption of blockchain/bitcoin...

Why not? In most of these 3rd world countries, people have very little access to banking systems and they are in desperate need for alternatives to bridge that gap. A lot of the world's gold and the cocoa comes from Ghana and they have a thriving micro economy that would benefit from a technology that would offer cheap micro payments.

Ghana is ready for rapid disruption of the banking system and replacement of the system that has failed them for years.

Surprisingly, China is not even in the top 25! Did Google trend include China in the analysis at all?

google trends is people using google search engine to search for keywords and in China people already know what "blockchain" is, so obviously when they know about something there is no need for searching about it.

and the same goes for other countries such as Ghana that OP mentioned in his second comment after about a year! in third world countries people are not familiar enough with bitcoin and blockchain technology and since recently there is lots of activity in those countries, obviously people use search engines such as google to find out more information about bitcoin and blockchain.
