also there is no country from africa in the ranking. could there be one in the future?
Talking about African countries, there are certain countries like Nigeria where the use of Bitcoin for transactions are not considered legal. If you are making a transaction, you'll just have to try all means not to make your bank know that it's for cryptocurrency purposes or else your bank account will be flagged. With such system, I don't think Nigeria will be on such list anytime soon because they are not even showing signs. I really don't know much about other African nations but speaking of Nigeria, the government itself is against the use of Bitcoin. The only ways you can transact is either P2P or you carry out your transaction and write something else on the transaction description because anything that relates to cryptocurrency will automatically flag your bank account red.

That's a very hash policy but since the law can't be questioned then we don't have to argue it. Instead it'd be better we discuss about the happening on the lose of your belongings. So assuming I'm a US foreigner base or elsewhere that the rule is effective, I fear how a bitcoin owner who has only planted his seed phrase around the environs can recover their bitcoin if they won't have the chances to pick the wallets keys. That means vulnerables living in that such places with consciousness of having hold to their funds secured with the use of hardware or having your seed phrase stored in the nearby is tantamount to lose it.
I seriously can't find myself in such areas because as a hustler in a forum country like that, I'd store more of my money in bitcoin to curb inflation of saving in the bank with how long time I'd spent out there. So following this road to empty hand if victimized, this can be avoided by storing our seed seed phrase online such as saving in an email draft that isn't linked to other network providers or any users connected to your account. In this scenario, offline seed phrase system might be risky to claim our funds our all long of accumulated that value of bitcoin.

We had a talk about Bitcoin and I asked why he is not in bitcoin yet he said the Internet says is money suited for crimes I did some research myself and I found the same thing online.
It is very possible that he did not ask the proper question that is why he did not get the proper answer because from the same Internet is where some people were able to verify the opportunities that Bitcoin has and then become convinced to invest. The internet is garbage in, garbage out, which means that if you don't fix in the proper parameters, you will never get the proper answer.

I feel people also need to develop the consciousness that not all the information gotten from the internet is correct, there are many false information on the internet, and one needs to be cautious.

We go back to the old days of Bitcoin when it was not recognized as a good asset and mostly said being used illegally by the dark market people. So, there's still a value that remains on it and people will still use it even if they are few. The crypto exchanges won't allow any transfer from it if they are banned so, P2P transactions are going to be the normal way of transactions to have a trade. And the value of it remains on going and changing because its volatility doesn't change.

Yes all the more reason to own bitcoin and own it well. You dont want to fall victim to crap like this, it’s inhumane and just plain wrong to be doing this type of thing to your own people and making scamble to meet some BS deadline. I would be so pissed. This is just too bad
People I pity the most for this type of situation are those who are foreigners to the country, as it will really be a living hell to wake up and notice that your account has been closed with no remedy. Nothing, nothing. They may be fighting crime, no doubt, but there is still a better way of doing things than using a deadline to get people's money stocked and completely fortified.

The vast majority of us will never encounter such a scenario but...

Outside of asking a family member/friend to retrieve your HW wallet and/or seed
What do you do in such a scenario?

When we are about to be deported, there should still be a procedure, the security forces cannot immediately expel us from our residence, unless we are a criminal, but people are still given the opportunity to retrieve their belongings, but if that is not the case, perhaps storing it online in an encrypted manner is an option that can be taken to back up our seed phrase, but we need to make sure that we add some additional words to our seed phrase and save it on 2 different and reputable platforms, since saving it online is more risky.

Surely Bitcoin wasn't created with specifications for the younger generation, however it's panning out that it's characteristics happen to align more with the younger generation.

Younger people resonate more with technology and Bitcoin is inherently digital. The older generation appear to be sceptical when it comes to new technology and would prefer the traditional Commercial banking systems for their basic and complex transactions.

Personally I think what matters most is a sincere desire to be open to new technologies alongside openness to move a little from the flat currencies.

Could more be done to include the older generation?

Well aside these facts that you have given, one of the reason I feel bitcoin is for the younger generation is because the long term holders are the most profitable when it comes to bitcoin investment and talking about time, we are all aging ever second and not everyone actually grows really old. However starting early helps to eliminate the fear of leaving your coins behinds when death comes, I'm not saying yound people don't die but at least it's not a normal age to die if nothing abnormal happens. And just as you have said the old are more comfortable with physical assets.

After meeting bitcoin, I learned to invest in financial markets. After investing, I learned to be patient and wait. I realized how easily I could make money by using my mind and opportunities.

I realized how decentralized systems could change the world.
I can relate to that. Bitcoin taught me how to be patient. There are several markets that I have no idea on how to get into, but after my investment in Bitcoin. It had made learn them as well. But just because I have an idea about them already, I won't just get into it and I've decided to stick to Bitcoin in a while. And overall, being patient gives the best return in all of the markets that we might stumble upon to. With the best of them all, it's with Bitcoin and proven tested that the money really comes to the patient people and having patience is paying off, very well.
Bitcoin or fiat, if you have the right amount of patience, you will definitely make your investment works. Most especially for volatile investments like bitcoin, while others are in panic selling, at least you should know the perfect timing in everything, when is the right time for market entry and market exit as well. That way, you don’t invest just to end up losing, but to keep on maximizing your profit potentials, thus being patient really pays off in the end.

Her bank account would not be recognised in India until she went through the process of getting it transferred, thats not instant though.

Recognized? By who? Who is in charge of recognizing bank accounts?  Grin
Or do you want to say my bank account in Germany is not recognized by India, lol!!! That would mean tommorow the European Union is going to stop working since there is no branch of Erste Bank in Italy or of Banco Santander in Poland.

She just needs to have a credit/debit card attached to her account, which 101% of the people have in US, and it she can get money from every ATM in the world, she can get a bank account in India the moment she lands and a make a wire from the her US account, this is no longer the stone age she will get her money in under 24 hous.

Seriously, stop making such a big deal of a thing that can be solved in hours.

when she landed there she must have had only what she had when she was arrested in the US.

That's not how things work in deportations and do use logic for a moment, if they get you on the beach they will send you back to India in a bra and bikini?  Grin Grin
https://www.ice.gov/doclib/detention-standards/2011/2-5.pdf

I travel to the Netherlands every year and I know I cant use a particular bank card
(from another European country) because it isnt "recognised" everywhere. Cant buy
travel tickets, cant withdraw cash
from ATM's. So its not a "Who" doesnt recognise my bank account/card.

So assuming you are arrested and deported and have all your bank cards on your person,
have suitable arrangements to be able to access your Bitcoin anywhere in the world
then there is nothing to worry about - most people dont though.

The point of the thread is about being able to access notably your Bitcoin when
you find yourself removed from your HW and or seed.

In theory everything should work out very fine, just do this, and just do that, in reality
theory can quickly get thrown out the window for any number of reasons and you
can quickly find yourself in a bind in such a situation.

Indeed these waste can be converted to useful energy for bitcoin beside they're not useful to the companies and that's why they flaring them. If miners could device a means to make agreement with these companies to convert those wastage to useful energy. Well I think people are smart and they must have thought of something like this but the demerits could be the reason it has not yet been initiated probably from these companies because, if its a matter of radiation then mining machine then we are safe because mining machines produce little radiation. But those gases especially from oil companies are know to contain other hydrocarbons with natural gas which are not easily stored or controlled and that why they flare them as waste.
