Asia is leading the way in the adoption of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology and the rest of the world is falling behind them:

What discussion you want to start with? Asia's the leading as of the moment but it might change sooner or later.

Sorry if I won't click your link.

Seems like you just want to promote your project by sharing your blog post. This is not the correct sub to do this, post it on your ANN thread or maybe altcoins discussion.

You mentioned Asia in your article but I only 3 countries in there: China, South Korea and Thailand? How about the rest of the Asian region? Singapore for has been one of the hottest place as evident of the Blockchain conferences/summit being held there, The Philippines is slowly entering into blockchain and has a vision to be a crypto hub or crypto valley in Asia. So I agree that there's a lot of movement in Asia, but you need to elaborate it further.

Japan and China

More like the cryptocurrency ponzi scheme hub; and that's me telling you from first hand experience. The people and companies actually doing something great with bitcoin is a huge huge minority. Most people associated with bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general are just into investment schemes, probably even 90% or more; either that, or just those "invest in bitcoin! you're going to get rich!" people without any knowledge at all with the technicalities and characteristics of bitcoin.

There are many reasons for Asia too be leading now. More favorable mining environment (low cost energy), many developers in Russia and South Korea..

But as you said, it may change soon or later. I believe USA is still struggling with regulations, but as soon as this phase passes, it may become a good place for new cryptocurrency projects.

Yes, the US Government needs to update its security regulation laws in order to let cryptocurrency projects pass by. At least, there are several states that are crypto friendly (Ohio, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado) plus there are existing crypto-backed lending companies (BlockFi, SALT Lending, Unchained Capital). We will do perfectly fine within a couple years :)

Asia is a bit more geeky than the rest of the world, so I guess they might understand and like crypto more than regular people xD

At present, the most powerful crypto is bitcoin. It may have been invented by Americans. Although Satoshi Nakamoto is a very Japanese name, many people analyze that it is only used to confuse us. Asia's current crypto industry is very developed, but this does not mean that Asia is the country that most embraces crypto. In many countries in Asia, such as China, South Korea, India and other countries, crypto is greatly restricted.
So I think, you can think that Asia is the most widely used blockchain, but the frontier of blockchain technology development is still the United States.

Interesting read, thanks.

I would like to see how Blockchain develops in areas of South America and Africa!

Asia really is leading the charge in certain technologies

I don't agree with that in present time. It can be true and probably will be in future, but now? Goverment of china won't let people use bitcoin too much, they limiting their freedom by acceptable way of chinese people.
In future tho, china is on way to dominate everything, space, resources, technology and economy.
