I had
fiatleak.com running this evening. As of
45 minutes running, here are the BTC bought (via exchanges) around the world and by countries monitored:
Total worldwide: +/- 29170 BTC
bought w/ US$: 1079 BTC
bought w/ Chinese Yuan: 27080 BTC (92% !!)
bought w/ ZAR (S Afr): 5.4
bought w/ Brazilian Reais: 5.0
bought w/ ILS (Israeli Shekels): 0.5
bought w/ Euro: 0.3
bought w/ Russian Rubles: 0.1
The arithmetic works out to being over
$700,000,000 per day (run rate as above),
just from exchanges alone.Note how China dominates... I ran this in the daytime a couple of weeks ago, similar numbers, China always over 90%. The two big exchanges there are okcoin and btcchina.
