Op made the source font size too small thats why only a few people have seen it and forgot the most important part and that is, It is a list of cash trades statistics from localbitcoins which was pretty outdated now, I guess it is because this was the third time it was copied and pasted . I'm not really familiar with the word cash trades but the people on the source said that it happens when you trade bitcoin personally (face to face) which kinda makes sense why my country PH is in the last place . Quoting OP sauce: Yes the list is based off transaction count only at Localbitcoins. And cash trades does not have to be face to face, for example, you can cash deposit into someone's bank, and that bitcoin seller verifies they have money in bank account and will release bitcoin to buyer. Some countries such as Japan and also the Philippines may have many options for getting bitcoin that are more popular in that country thus in the people in that country are not forced to turn to a service like localbitcoin, like the rest of the world.

i can't understand the point of that list, sincerely here you have an easy list of countries that consider bitcoin banned https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country(only 2-3 of them), the one that does not are the one that use bitcoin for trading bitcoin is already around the world, even in africa they trade bitcoin, therefore your list is not accurate and a bit pointless

Here this is India which is at the 6 the number in your list . Since I am much active in the trading from five to six months but still I am struggling to increase my turn over in trading . Here k don't think that bitcoin will live more in India Because the questions about the legality of the bitcoin is now arising in the India for the government to stop the use of the black money . But here the recent example of the Japan to accept the bitcoin as the legal currency and safe and Trusted will try to change the mood of Indian government and will make the bitcoin accept by the Indian government . Hope the India jump.to the number one in your list from no. 6 .

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.
I am from the Philippines and I think the ranking and the data used for the ranking can be outdated and not reflecting the present situation because we know that more and more Filipinos are already getting into Bitcoin. Anything online and I am sure that Philippines would land on the top 10. Anyway, this is not a contest and we don't actually care what is our ranking as long as we are all enjoying the benefits of cryptocurrency both as an asset as an investment.

To illustrate how global Bitcoin is, in two days the posters here had following tally; 9 responded from Phillippines 5 responded from Indonesia 3 responded from India 2 responded from USA 1 from Ukraine 1 from Bangladesh 1 from East Timor Most other people from everywhere including these same places are silent. I implore everyone to please look into the resources/links of the post the links really help those better understand both Bitcoin and the world's financial system: "Hacks & puppets & forks - how to destroy bitcoin" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1834310.0

I'm from philippines and I'm confused why we are in no.31
I think it's not sorted out based of volume, just randomly put that country to the list. In Indonesian, lack of peoples who knows about Bitcoin and in my village I'm the only one who know Bitcoin till know. But, there are local exchanges and merchants accepting Bitcoin so it's make me more convenient to use Bitcoin to pay something.

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'm also from Indonesia and i'm not surprised Indonesia is not on the list. Bitcoin is not popular in our country dude. In my area, no one know about bitcoin, we only met many bitcoin user in indonesia by online. It's hard to find people that using bitcoin that we can find in real life here. But by looking from the trade chart, Indonesia is big tho.

I am from Philippines but I think this list is not updated since here we got many options to convert bitcoin to fiat and many people use bitcoin here so I don't think that our country should be on the 31st list and if it is based on transactions on Localbitcoins I guess you should consider adding more sources about this before making the list of top 30 popular bitcoin countries for trade since it is unfair for other countries too to use localbitcoins as basis.

If this list is according to ranks then i totally don't agree with you as the list should be like china,japan. Even though china doesn't deserve it as they always manipulate the price but unfortunately they will remain on top

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.
That's interesting. When I think of bitcoin, I have not yet thought of Cuba. Makes a lot of sense, and I have a friend who used to have all sorts of trouble getting his wife over from there, though I don't know if there were any funds crossing borders. I'd be very curious to know how many Cubes we have on this forum.

Im from india.Compared to china,bitcoin users are very less in india.But its gradually increasing day by day.India being the second largest country in the world in population could make bitcoin to progress more if more indians adopt bitcoin.

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?
Im also live in the philippines. Im curious why my country is number 31 I see many filipinos are using bitcoin everyday . And many filipinos are very active everyday in investing in bitcoin, trade and anything. I think philippines is on the top 10 .

My my self i am from philippines.But i dont think we are in 31st place of the list since bitcoin community growned a big number in this past years.Most people and businessman here adopted bitcoins as one of their investment option to earn more money and some people use bitcoins here to earn free money.There is a high amount of users here in philippines.

United states here.
I only know of two other americans who use btc and both are women.
All the men I know have failed me.
Coming across other americans who use crypto is always a surprise, which leads me to believe foreign countries might have a higher per capita use of crypto.

Like many others I am from Philippines too and it is nice to see our country being on the list the sad one though is it is 31st in the list that seems to be kind of a joke since the title is Thirty popular bitcoin countries for trade. If we were to talk about popular bitcoin countries for trade, I don't think our country belongs to the 31st spot but rather on top 30. I think you OP need to reconsider remaking this list specially that the list according to you is based only on localbitcoins.
