Any volunteers want to update thread with # count CHANGES either monthly or quarterly? Feel free to do so. As I believe the above is for all-time. And it would be more useful for us to see ranking from the month from 9/27/2017 to 10/27/2017.ie subtract above from new total. Its annoying work.

Why is the Philippines number 31, I am from the Philippines and I am observing and a witness on how bitcoin becomes a booming industry in the area. I was surprised to see that we are only in the number 31. I thought we are at least in the top 10 countries who are active in bitcoin. Though I am not sure that the order of the list means something but seeing it was a bit of shocking to me.

[Cactushrt]

I'm from philippines and I'm confused why we are in no.31 only as I've observed most of us here using bitcoin and relying on bitcoin. May I ask if this is a particular order?

[drwtsn32]

Is Philippines in the special mention here? because the title says list of 'THIRTY' but Philippines is in the 31st. 
Putting the joke aside, what was the basis of this order? Because AFAIK Philippines holds a large volume of market bitcoins. They even have their own exchanging site and a monopoly online wallet that is affiliated to different shops, services and even international banks.

Wonder what happened to btc in cuba.

Last I heard cuba's wire transfers were fined @ something like 30%-40% rates.

Cuban immigrants in the united states used bitcoin to send money to their families in cuba & avoid exorbitant transfer fees.

Some countries have ridiculous fees for moving money.

It makes me wonder how those who loudly complain about 0.006 btc transfer fees would survive if they lived in cuba & learned what crazy transfer fees really look like.

[hisuka]

Im from Philippines and Im wondering our country is 31st. As I have noticed, bitcoin here is becoming popular and many users are adopts bitcoin. Bitcoin is increasing its numbers of usage because of its advantages and benefits.

[clickerz]

I think OP should also add how many BTC being transacted or volume transacted for each country. Also, I am surprised Indonesia is not on the list? There are many Indonesians active also on bitcoin.

i don't get the list either! OP says "popular for trade"! whatever it means because the list doesn't seem to be sorted based on trading volume either.

you can check fiatleak.com or coinmarketcap.com for example to see where the volume comes from.

[Quartx]

From experience, many Filipinos are going to trash the source of your chart and question why they are last on the list even though "Many of us are using bitcoin, i wonder why so low on charts" haha.

Malaysia on the list eh, I wonder if one single person contributed to Malaysia being so high on that list.

Why is Nigeria at 14 though? And india at 6? Must be all the HYIPs and ponzis along with the cheap electricity miners.

[Reid]

I think he should change the number thing or take it out.
Many are getting freaked out about the list thinking it is being ranked.
I guess he is just looking for some people to share the country they know or living and he will update the list.
So he would better take out the "thirty".
It is not just thirty if you will be listening to others comments.

[HabBear]

Here's summary of how Bitcoin is treated in about 35 countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country\

No mention of Cuba at all, but I did find a few articles from 2015 (and none more recently), which get's back to your "what happened to Cuba?" question.

I don't think this list is in order of popularity or volume...we all know the latter isn't really possible to understand.

BTC user from the Philippines can make a living through BTC because of the high exchange rate, I can pay all of my house bills
plus extra just from signature campaign alone, the salary from my main job is almost untouched because of bitcoin.
anyway, I`m The Philippines.

[pealr12]

Im from philippines and we are at no.31? Uhmm i thought we are at the top 10 cause i know theres a lot of bitcoin users and traders here in the philipines. Cant imagine that were too far from top 10 countries.

Actually yes because of the decent exchange rate between USD and PHP especially with the current kick to around Php50 per $1 when new administration takes place. The downside is, products came from importing will be more expensive.

Anyways about the list, I don't see PH on top 10 even no doubt we have some good numbers here using bitcoin. Why? We are here everyday in crypto world that's why we think that we already reached a good adoption numbers but tried to talked even just with your neighbors or workmates if they know or even encounted the word bitcoin.

[darthmaul]

I am from India and you listed in the right position I believe. Not far away from the top 10 and it is the real case actually. In India bitcoin is very popular now and companies (crypto based) have formed within the country in recent years. These companies are offering best trading platforms for Indians and as the value of 1BTC = Four Figures money it is gaining more popularity here. I mostly use bitcoin for trading in real cash and I earn a lot from it.

You shouldn't react like that or respond like that dude , as you notice as the above title 30 listed countries, in which means Philippines is not belong to that count, it maybe commiseration only that Philippines was listed at 31 countries. And no reason for you to be shock because  bitcoin is not that popular yet in the Philippine that's the reality situation now in your country.

And even more surprise to see China on number 18, this is tenable if the list is not based on high to low trading volume

This is great, India is a sleeping economic giant not only in the bitcoin sense, but in the developing world sense. I have been loving watching the volume go up over time there and hope it continues.
