why most of btc users are russians?

[Palinanv]

Russians might be having a big user-base in terms of Bitcoins, but when it comes to a total number of users, Chinese are way ahead than any country's people around the world...

No. The largest number of users are from the United States, followed by Russia. China, at the most may be at no.3. The Chinese exchanges usually inflate their usage stats, and it gives an impression that there are large number of Bitcoiners there. Loot at the major exchanges (including LBC). The US tops in terms of trade volumes.

Thanks for sharing that info, man...
I was actually having that in my mind, but people always talked that Chinese are the reason why BTC is here, which is why I thought that the numbers are right and Chinese are running BTC because they hold a major % of BTC with them...

He has no proof of this though. Where is he getting those numbers from?

It is right or not that Russian scammers ? I think the most of them is not look like that. Maybe few of them are scammers.
Russia have so many occupations and it is possible if Russians is the most bitcoin user.

Dude, how can you get any idea about something like this?
There is absolutely no statistic about that! Nobody can do anything about listing bitcoiners or making some kind of census!

I'm more interested to know where you even learned that from.

Thats kinda racist. There are heaps of different nationalities that use bitcoin, etc Chinese, American, Australia. I remember a bar in Australia that accepts Bitcoin cards.

This is just to understand the reality of user profile. Avoid using the word racist. When such words were used automatically the mentality of people move towards racism.

I think this is not about the racist issue. But all i can see when in wandering around in fb groups. And i see many nationalities using bitcoin. Because i think global people aware now for the benifits and anonimosity of  the bitcoin. I have many different nationalities bitcoin enthusiast friends and i see them using bitcoin for daily living and for fast transaction on what bitcoin offers to them.

Your thread title caught my attention.  I've never heard the statistic that russians are the majority of bitcoin users.  I've always assumed that it was probably Americans that are the majority.  Also, how would you know that most "scammers" are russian?  It sounds like a made up accusation to me.

[edinar-currency88]

I think that Russian polzovateley may not be the majority of the population does not allow

I've never heard this before. This is my first time to hear that Russians use bitcoin more and that they are scammers. Personally I am not from Russia, neither are my closest friends who use bitcoin. I might be knowing one or two Russians who use bitcoin but I never never regarded them the way this thread insinuates. Being scammed by one Russian does not mean all Russians are scammers. In this digital era, it might be probable that you were scammed by an impostor using a Russian name, yet he might be even from China, Romania, USA or even Nigeria.

Isn't it true that the most prominent and successful bitcoin online casinos are owned by Russians?
I am talking here about PrimeDice and FortuneJack. Can someone confirm that?

[$_Aleks_$]

whence such statistics

[Laosai]

Well, that's not really racist to just say most bitcoiners are russians.
What would be racist would be to say all bitcoiners are russians and that's why the btc community is so horrible :3

I wonder if OP actually legitimately researched his statistics or just posting non sense based on his feelings
It's really hard to actually know the statistics of bitcoin users since some of the users are probably using VPN or TOR network to hide their real identity, in fact I think those Russian users that OP talks about is probably some guy living somewhere completely different and using VPN to mask theirs
Don't talk a big bullshit without having any hard fact

Well to tell the truth Russians don't use English most of the time.
It makes them really appart and you see them from far as they use their own alphabet!

You asseption is completely wrong. First you shouldn't say that only Russians are scammers because that's a lie. You can find scammers everywhere. Second it is more than proven that most of the transactions are happening in China... so it is possible to correctly say that the majority of bitcoin traders and users are Chinese

Just to be sure: aren't most transactions happening in China because most miners are in China?

I dont think all russian are scammers. Maybe they adopt the way that russia easily gave online business permit. And foreign scammers grab oppurtunity to post their certificate as proof so it can be deceiving to invvestors i think russia must fix their system about it.
