But hasn't bitcoin been  banned in Russia? I was answering a question for this forum and I read something which made me curious to know how many countries have banned bitcoin. I researched a little and found countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, etc. I also found Russia made into the list, so I don't really expect to find a lot of Russians in this poll. Sure, some people fake their identity but in reality there are very less bitcoin users from Russia.

Really curious how many countries that ban bitcoin? Read here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country
Bitcoin banning by government wont stop people to use bitcoin, there are many ways to get into it.
Wanna see how many Russians here? Maybe you can check their local section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=10.0

I like that you said "UK & Europe".

Frankly, that wasn't needed. Writing only Europe would have been preferable. I guess it shows that OP's British.
Quite surprising that no Russian has participated. I used to think there were plenty of Russians in here.

Maybe it means the Russian's here are smart about not disclosing any information that indicates how much they have and where they are from. You have to remember that those that have the largest balances were probably in on Bitcoin as earlier adopters (we're all early adopters) and may have a greater propensity to understand the underlying value in what Bitcoin was providing. I wouldn't want to spoil that if Government was knocking on doors trying to "empty the change" from peoples pockets.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the votes, keep spreading the word!
