I'm from Malaysia and I didn't know there were many other people buying Bitcoin in the country. I don't personally know of anyone who buys Bitcoin or crypto in general, so it is rather surprising to see Malaysia listed there. Surprised South Korea isn't on the list though.

Well, I don't understand why Italy is around the top 10... Maybe because of unemployment of young people (+30%) and the number of Italians living abroad... Brazil is in the list maybe due to general costs and the tax (IOF) to send money abroad.

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?

I think the ranking is also based on the miners that current build on the specific country. Because the stock and the effect of bitcoin also depends on the miners because the changes and the movement also happens when people trades. But if you will classify our country based on people who uses bitcoin I think its rank wilmette go up, because it is very evident  that  there lot of people in the Philippines  that used bitcoin and other forms of cryptocurrency  as an investment.

Im from the philippine and im not complaining about 31st spot.i can only say that it's all worthy of all the nations that they've been there even though i'm still a country i'm proud of being in the top 31 congrats btw

That data is from the last year April 2017 when OP created this thread, of course it will be different in this year. That data is from Localbitcoins.com, so just go to that site to know the newest data. Well my country is not even listed on Localbitcoins.com, but number 2 on bitcointalk forum.

Haa, thank you for the stats, I was really surprised to see my country on the list. I thought not so many people here even knew about crypto, and crypto trading, too! Now I can see we can create a little crypto-community!

Many trades are happening in most countries. How about yours? Where are you from?

Above edit made 09/24/2017 (original list can be seen by the many quoted in this thread)

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.

Also please share if you have opinion on any of these threads:

I'm from Philippines. I'm not aware that most btc users in the forum are from ph, and 31st place in trading is not bad at all. I think not all people can contribute to trading.

[merlyn22]

i am from philippines i'm just wondering why philippines is in the last although bitcoin is very known in my country and we also have own exchanger in my country. bitcoins really accepted here. bitcoin is very poppular here and known philippines consume big volume of bitcoins. and according on the tittles 30 countries then philippines on the 31 place means my country not belong.

[athanz88]

Well I am from Indonesia, and I see my country is not on the list and I kinda know why. There are not many people in here know bitcoin, and some of people who knows bitcoin don't want to accept it. Because they don't fully know about the technology yet. Although we have 1 big local exchanger and there is exchanger that supports Indonesia ( Luno ). And I see there are so many Indonesian here on the local board.
For PH people, don't get mad, our situation is kinda the same, people play bitcoin and have local exchanger, at least you are on the list and that's good, and not in the list is not a bad thing also.

I think PH and Indonesia together make the majority of users on this forum - right?

[centralbanksequalsbombs]

The biggest catalyst that'd make BTC price skyrocket higher is simply move all your BTC to your PERSONAL bitcoin wallet (move off of Coinbase, Binance, Bitfinex, Square, Robinhood, CBOE/CME futures).

Fractional reserve, BTC lending, rehypothication is a bitch and can perpetually create no floor for prices by establishment market manipulators.

Plus if history is any indication, one these avenues will blow up and wreck the "holders" of bitcoin that really wasn't there because they failed to take such advice.

Take it off the exchanges and see what happens.

[patarfweefwee]

Woah! There are a ton of people from the Philippines and Indonesia in this forum. I mean i know that the south east asia is up and coming but i never thought it would be this much. Then again, I'd think that people replying to yhis thread (including me) would be bounty hunters so yeah. Well all in all it is stil a good news that more and more people are trading in crypto currency.

[spongegar]

I don't know if this list is actually updates but it really surprised me that Spain made second in countries that trade crypto currency in the workd at that time. I mean i would have guessed that an asian power house would be second. Of course China is out of the question since they banned it but I expected Japan or even Korea.

[dimox]

in my country, more bounty hunter than trader, you dont need special tool to be bounty hunter, just simple one to do it, and you can do by phone. maybe that is the reason why bounty is the best way to make profit here.
