From where you got your statistics exactly ? how do you know that most of BTC users are russians ? I guess they are less now since using BTC became illegal or whatever in russia .

I don't think so. I think the most of bitcoins users are China, USA and India, CMIIW. Well, i rarely heard most of russians are scammers on this forum. for HYIP yes, but for bitcoins i never heard.

and why most of russians are scammers?  

because most of russian are anomalous started  from poorest man in russian to there president. there main thought is to hurt someone and make bad things, not only here, in every business, in every jobs they are making, they only thinking only in one thing, to hurt someone.

The title is really misleading. The word "most", to me, means >50%. I guess Chinese, at most, make up of 25% of bitcoiner population. Most users are in the US and Europe. Only a small percentage in Russia.

[SFR10]

Not all Russians are scammers although there are a lot of ponzi sites that are based on Russia. I have few Russian friends and they've been really helpful and opposite of scammers to me, ever since I knew them so it wouldn't be fair to label all of them as scammers if you had a bad experience with certain Russian guy. And also there was a statistics image in which showed most usage base on countries and I'm sure Russia was not among most users (can't find the image).

I don't know where you got this Info. but according to me the users seems well scattered. mostly I see people from US, India and EU and some of course Russians.
As far as Russian being scamers, nah u don't think I haven't seen any Russian to scam, but then scammer don't have a country  

[Amph]

maybe because there were and still there is huge restriction for bitcoin there, so to acquire them they end scamming people, or because there are numerous hacker there, many good programmers are russian, and they are inclined to follow the scamming route than the others

[AliceWonderMiscreations]

There are a lot of organized crime groups in Russia that do a lot of scams but we also have them here in the U.S., the most noteworthy criminal organization we have is referred to as the NSA.

[faridkifly]

where did u get that idea? 
I think not every user is a russian, user of bitcoin is spread all around the world. and about scam... i dont know, maybe it was just ur supposition. anyone can do scam, so dont judge the race but the person. 

[Guido]

they're not. not by a long way

[DimensionZ]

Your statement that Russia have the most online scammers piqued my interest so I decided to do a Google search and apparently countries like Malaysia, South Africa, Romania, Indonesia, Venezuela, Brazil are much higher on the lift of Internet fraudsters. There are a lot of poor people with Internet access nowadays so watch your back online.

Well it seems like Russia has a lot of Bitcoiners judging by this graph:



the usage is really important, I think that in the countries where the governments decide to ban Bitcoin, are the countries that get the most usage, like on China where its not really legal but they have a big interest as you can see by the mining industry. i think the more gov bans or limits Bitcoin the more interest people will have.

Totally agree. I have many Russian friends and they are all honest people by nature and in their culture.

I think many scammers just pretend to be from Russia just because most people think it is difficult to trace someone from a country so far and less understood.

It's nothing out of the ordinary, as the bitcoin community is really diverse. You should be bothered though if one day you receive an e-mail from a Nigerian prince that wants to give his bitcoins to you - this one is a well known scam.

From what I have observed, the Russians are really good in web designing and coding. That is why there are so many online BTC ventures out there, owned and operated by the Russians. For example, many of the gambling sites are owned by either Russians or Ukrainians (Primedice is an example). A few of them are con-men, but such people are there in every ethnic group.

[hasiramasenju]

i think chinese the most of btc users in the world not russians because everyday at chinese exchange volume trade is very huge and also i was wondering that where is you get this info too because i totally disagree with your source

[Dr.Osh]

I think most bitcoin users are not the people of Russia, very many bitcoin users from other countries are countless and I think China still has the largest bitcoin users besides russian
