personally I can talk about the middle east , and in the last 3 months or so I saw a lot of interest in crypto currency of course that was due media highlighting bitcoin price from time to time
some countries banned it totally like Morocco , but the surprise was that the Arab Gulf countries are showing real interest in it and they said that their citizens are free to trade crypto currencies
even Saudi Arabia is not fighting bitcoin , but they are asking for proof of income as I heard just so they can " make sure " that the money aren't coming from illegal ways
so in general governments are surfing the wave here in my area , some governments haven't said a word though which makes it even better IMO
