88% of Japanese have heard of bitcoin -- how about your country? --

[stompix]

i'm from indonesia, most of indonesian people haven't heard about bitcoin , i could say only 10% know bitcoin and only 5% have bitcoin or other cryptocoins..

5% out of 261 millions is 11.5 millions.
That is equal to almost half of the addresses with a bitcoin balance.
Make it more like 0.05%. That would be closer to reality

I'd be curious if Bitcoin Forum members can chime in on what the estimated awareness might be for their region or country:

  https://news.bitcoin.com/survey-japanese-bitcoin/

a quote:
 "A recent survey of 10,000 men and women across Japan shows that 88% of them have heard of bitcoin. Among those that have bitcoin, 47% said that they have used it in retail stores but long-term investment is most respondents’ main reason for pu rchasing bitcoin."

Japan is one of the first countries that accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, so this is logical. In my country many people know about Bitcoin, but not many of them using it and understand how it works.

One of the reason is that Japan govt has official legalized the btc in their country due to which the awareness rate is so much high. Another thing is that due to this they are dominating the btc space now

The Japanese percentage is way better than the ones in my country. But I'd like to think and assume that the amount and number
has risen ever since that surprising surge of price with bitcoins late last year. The moment it hit $20k, that was the big eye opener
in my country. People were talking all sorts of stuff about it and several went into crypto the following year. I would like to say or
speculate that it's around 35% to 55% that have already heard about bitcoins and 60% has no proper data about bitcoins and altcoins.
I believe this will change in the coming months, bitcoin will be even more popular especially with the younger generations.

I am from Russia and I believe that a lot of people have heard about Bitcoin already, it is almost every day on TV, but I think not everyone got what is it exactly, how it works and how to make money with that.

In my country also, the media coverage about bitcoins has increased over the last few months. It started happening after bitcoin prices touched the $10000 mark. Even when it was breaking all the records, the media here was showing negative news about bitcoins. In my country, people show more interest in negative news and thus the news channels try to focus on negative aspects more. However, seeing the growth in number of registered users on bitcoin exchanges in my country, I can say that more people are investing in bitcoins.

My country's population of todays times estimated would be 106 million for 2018 and only 2 million of our population overheard about bitcoin this means that if this huge population of my countrymen will become a part of the bitcoin community most probably bitcoin would be a lifetime alternative digital currency we could ever have.If this population stated was only with one country how much more when Japanese and other countries and government would behave in bitcoins existence and accept it as their virtual currency.Probably we can say that bitcoin will stay forever and there is no doubt that it will die through its popularity demands will probably grow.

In my country I think more than half are aware of bitcoins, but half of that I think is participating or
are invested in bitcoins. Those people are well informed through friends and the internet, there is
really no general awareness of cryptocurrencies most especially bitcoins in my country. The only thing t
hat people heard of them mostly are by word of mouth through conversations and some documentary episodes
on some national television stations. You would be surprise with the negative opinions people cultivate
and speculate about bitcoins, there is a discerning amount of misinformed or false assumptions surrounding
bitcoins and cryptocurrencies. I think the government has less interests with bitcoins in my country.

[Audistar]

Our country belonge to the third world countries, and not many have access to internet connection, thus, limiting the number of people hearing and reading about bitcoin. And a study have not been conducted regarding awareness of bitcoin.
But recently conference on a national level have been conducted in the country, so probably raised the awareness of he community.
But as to percentage, we can't say for sure.

The difference between Japanese countries with my country is my country which is still a developing country and not everyone knows bitcoin because internet quality here is also still not good whereas japanese country state advanced even with quality internet. In japan have also received bitcoin as currency for legal payment, in my country (indonesia) still can not accept bitcoin as currency let alone for payment transaction.

[zxcv cool]

My country estimates that only 5% of people have heard of BTC, and those who invest in BTC are estimated to be less than 1%.

[brickafterbrickwalldpt]

I think that about half population of my country heard about Bitcoin. Unfortunately thanks to government's propaganda, most people believe that Bitcoin is a bubble or Ponzi scheme (without even knowing what it is). What a shame that politicians don't understand the potential of Bitcoin and they will try to fight with it. We all know that it is impossible to prohibit using cryptocurrencies. That's why my country will be late for another revolution. What a shame.

[Dark_raven007]

I'm from Russia. We almost every day talk about bitcoin on TV. But many of my friends consider it safer to go to work and receive $ 200 a month than investing in bitcoin and earning a fortune in a few years. I do not agree with them and therefore I invest in bitcoin

[ashlyvash00]

In our country im not quetly sure how many people doing bitcoin but i sure that we are many. I think almost 40% of population in our country know bitcoin

[newb-dev]

Japanese people have always been one step ahead of us in the technology and I appreciate them for this. In Europe it's more like 40% maybe

[ncn1992vn]

My country around 30% and 99% of 30% think it very very bad...

[jdeanne92]

I think maybe 60% in my country knows about bitcoin. Some leading media in my country had featured bitcoin in their network and i think that help bitcoin more popular in my country

[saiharden]

I'm from Ukraine. In my country few people know about bitcoin. Only young people are interested in it. Of the 10000 people polled, only 300 have heard or used it. Many consider it a pyramid.

[East2011]

I am from the Philippines. And i think about 50% of Filipinos know bitcoin. Because of social media bitcoin became popular here in my country.
