why most of btc users are russians?

[mikewirth]

I agree that the most users are in China, India an US, not Russia

Most of the Russian users are in jail. Or soon will be.

Yes cause it's easy to mine in those counries. Cheap electricity and other stuff. Everything is good for bitcoin users also people who interested in bitcoin  moving to China for work.

How can you sure that Russian is the hackers?
What if they use Russian's proxy/VPN while they're not Russia?

I don't but i receive a notification from my email that someone trying to login in my account from russian federation.. yeah i think they are using vpn But most of hackers are from russians..

[BitcoinSupremo]

Someone from Russia IP had logged in to my btc-e account, when I was using Windows and my account was not 2fa. After this, I fired up my Linux PC changed the password there and added 2FA, since then no signs of other loggins. So yeah I agree too,most hackers are Russian and don't forget ponzis like Hashprofit.

Lost on hashprofit too. They are too sneaky and fast.
There is strong tie with Russian, but it is fair to say there is no direct prove that Russian did it.

[Ardenyham]

I don't think that the percentage and amount of russian bitcoin users is way out of proportionate to that extent, They are a big economy and has a big interest in online trading etc... but they are still a normal % when compared to US bitcoin users for example.

[DimensionZ]

I don't think it's fair to put all people from Russia under the common denominator of being online thieves and scammers just because there are some bad apples among them. If you are having problems with the security of your accounts then take the necessary measures to keep them safe.

I agree it is not fair to say all Russians are hackers scammers. Even after I lost over 1 btc in HashProfit.
Oh wel, I also lost some in Pbmining, they are not Rissuain.

[LTU_btc]

I think that many russians use bitcoin because their national currency ruble is unstable and cheap. Earlier it was popular to use dollars instead of ruble. Russians want to be more independent from their weak currency.

[MingLee]

I wouldn't say that most Bitcoin users are Russian, but I would say that there is a significant portion that are Russian.

A lot of it comes down to who invested when, and Russians seem to partake in anything that will make them money, based on my personal experience with them.

Why are they after you?any particular reason? I think it is not right to stereotype and blame the entire country for the misdeed of few people.Russia is a big country and just like every other country there are good people and bad people

[SmartIphone]

I have seen much Russian using bitcoins, and when I see their characters (not Latin), i know how terrifying is when you can't understand their language, not all of them are scammers, I checked their country avg. salary and it's somewhere $500 which is not low or high, but i think that chinese are much more than russians.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

How do you even know that?  Can anyone actually tell just by the blockchain evidence where users are?

Having said that, I would not be surprised in the least if Russia is at least near the top of the list of big bitcoin users.  Not sure how stable their currency really is, and I'm sure bitcoin is an excellent alternative.  USD sure ain't.

[ronaldinho_07]

I see several russians present at faucets soo i believe they are trying to get the much bitcoins as they can ,i believe they are strong represented into the faucets system.The reason under that i dont know i would like to know as well.

Russians can't be the main people occupying Bitcoin. I don't even know how somebody can calculate that. It's not like Bitcoin isn't pseudo-anonymous to the point that we can find out a person's race or where they even live.

[ingiltere]

I don't think that's true. If you check out demographics you'll see Chinese exchanges have more value and volume, Chinese and American people are more than Russians. You should also consider the population of China and Russia is way more diffferent.

Yeah but where are you retrieving that information? I wanna see.

[Hirose UK]

why most of btc users are russians?  
and why most of russians are scammers?  

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.

I think OP read thread about many shops accept bitcoin in Russia, so he drew that conclusion.
but we need proof to make sure who are the most people use bitcoin

Post your source here since I would like to see those findings too.
Russia is the biggest country but not the most people in the world of a country. I think China would beat Russia for the number of btc users in one demographic region.
