I see most people here have never been to Africa. There's ten times more people with an Internet connection in Africa, and there is way more money in Africa. I guess Mercedes sells at least 5 times more cars in Africa than in Australia.
Then, there hundreds of millions without a bank account, so BTC has huge opportunities there.

i'll say australia will regulate it first, so for this reason it will be more popular there before africa, africa in some zone still lack hi-tech activity to introduce itself at bitcoin, poverty actually doesn't help , because you can't buy bitcoin and help the market to grow
Im sure Australia will regulate bitcoin soon, we are such a fucking nanny state we have rules and regulation on everything. I think Africa will probably use bitcoin to help the people who don't have a bank account and Australia will use it manly as a online currency only, i could be wrong. Although Sydney would like to call themselfs the capital city it's not, the capital city here is boring old Canberra.

Australia, but your ripple example is not related to bitcoin, you said ripple not bitcoin, ripple is btc's competitor. So you should change your question, use crypto currency to instead bitcoin. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

I think it is hard to say the result. The two areas have their own advantages and disadvantages for Bitcoin to grow. Even if Africa is poor, it has the soil for Bitcoin to spread.

I would put my money on Africa because they are still untapped as a mostly 3rd world country. In essence more progress can be made from a country with limited development, than a country where development has reached it's peak already. The only limitation will be the African political differences and the way some of the African leader perceive the possible threat to their control over their people. ^sad^

In my opinion, I think Africa, because they have a lot of people without bank accounts, which is why Bitcoin will thrive there. There's also a lot more people with internet connections in Africa than in Australia, so it might have the advantage. Of course, Australia is a developed country, so it's got its advantages too. But I believe Africa has just that bit more for Bitcoin to be able to have a bigger success in the industry.

I guess Africa. They're in need for means of remitting money and storing their money in a manner that it isn't wiped out by political instabilities or economic breakdowns!

Who do you think will have the biggest chance of Bitcoin success? Africa or Australia?
Africa can make the most difference so that probably classes as the biggest chance of success, australia runs the same as europe and USA for the most part.

Australia has more technology and spare many to risk than Africa. So, my vote goes for Australia.

africe indeed is lacking tech, but even poor people have phones/smartphones there. it would make more sense for africa to be first as the need for something like bitcoin is much higher there. even very simple cheap smartphones can run a bitcoin wallet. I prefer Australia as it is much technology advanced country as compared to africa and also if you look at the economy then Australia is far better then Africa so i would go with Australia as Africa has a problems related to poverty economy crimes so it will not africa in terms of bitcoins.

I prefer Africa.
Bankers are too strong in Australia, and they will prevent widespread BTC adoption there. Also, the Australian government is not that excited about Bitcoin. On the other hand, most of the African nations don't even have rules or regulations regarding crypto. There is huge potential for Bitcoin adoption in Africa. And Kipochi - M Pesa is just the tip of the iceberg.

Africa for Sure. As there are many people without the bank accounts though the rate of internet connection is high in Africa as compared to Australia so bitcoin will attract them more and Government would also start accepting bitcoin in Africa and as people who don't have bank acs will get attracted to bitcoin very easily.

Australia is a very large "producer" to the world economy. If bitcoin can grow big enough it could help Australia in many ways.
