That's pretty awesome. Shared. Could next update have the cumulative total per country shown visually (maybe just shade the countries) instead of just the text data at the bottom?

(the scrolling "morse code" toward the bottom of the map also makes things pretty messy)

Also, can the bitcoins go toward the center of the countries instead of the oceans off the east coasts?  Cool idea, though.

[Ruzka]

Pretty cool, and yeah kind of threw me off too at first with the coins not going to the center of all the countries.

What the others said!

Otherwise: Wow. Mesmerizing.

Just a heads up, this site causes a memory leak in Chrome & Opera... Im not sure about others. But yeah... caused insane amount of VM usage over time.

Really riveting

Great piece of work, thanks you

[Inedible]

This looks great.

I'm unsure of it's value because I can't work out how it takes into consideration additional fiat into the system rather than fiat just exchanging between two people.

This is pretty cool. I got caught just staring at it...

Yup, causes a crash on Chrome for Android as well as the leak. Looks great though.

This is misleading, fiat doesn't leak.
If you put USD into an exchange and buy Bitcoin someone else take the fiat. Ultimately there is the same amount of fiat.

I watch it for a couple of minutes, seems like every BTC goes to China!!?
Seems there planning to consume every satoshi on earth 

Better hold on tight to mine...

Remember, every time you buy a Bitcoin, every time you pay with a Bitcoin, you add up to the inflation of the fiat you dismissed!

They've got something about a trillion dollars in US bonds, so it's pretty obvious what they are up to... Without much ado they are going to buy ALL bitcoins out there!

Amazing website man!

[BitChick]

Great website.  It seems like the US and China are the big players for sure, followed by Europe.  That might change in time.

[jago25_98]

great site.
I'm only seeing USD & CNY at the moment though

Cool, watched this for a while.
