Title: Regional interest in Bitcoin
Post by: Stylus on April 05, 2013, 07:40:39 PM
I found this interesting. After all the news about Cyprus and the EU, I thought there would have been more representation from those countries:

 69 Canada
 68 United Kingdom
 66 Netherlands

No money. No Google. Sounds demotivating.

But if no Cyprus... was the rally inspired by Cyprus events then?

Google isn't great for finding data about what people are searching for outside Google.

You won't find the Chinese there because they use Baidu

India tends to use one of 30 different search engines.

You also need to check out Abacho.es for Spanish info and Kngine for Arabic info

I wonder if its possible to search where IP addresses coming to MTGox are from?

That might give you a better answer?

The Chinese have QQ.

Here's something else that I found interesting:

Regional Interest in Litecoin by Country in the Last 30 Days (Google Trends):

100 United States


That's it! There's apparently no statistically significant interest in Litecoin outside of the USA. Any theories as to why that is?
