You don't think it will happen and it already happening my friend. You are comparing population of India to that of Nigeria but we are talking about people that are using and embracing the technology of bitcoin. Nigeria is one of the top countries that are into bitcoin and crypto trading and now that funding of wallet through normal exchange with financial institutions, the next available option is p2p which has increased by 15% since the action of central bank months ago. Nigeria youths love opportunities and freedom, this is why they love bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
Nigerian population is around 200 million, which makes it one of the most populous countries in the world. And at the same time, the cryptocurrency penetration rate is much higher than the case with India. In India, the users are mostly confined to a handful of metro cities and a few tier-2/tier-3 cities in South India. But from what I have heard, in Nigeria the coverage is much more uniform with large number of users even in smaller cities and towns.

This should be self-explanatory. According to worldometerIndia's current population - 1,390,834,742 Nigeria's current population - 210,323,275 Even if the rate of crypto adoption was quite high in Nigeria, I don't think they can beat India's numbers in the near future. Population numbers play a much bigger role.

If nigeria over take india then it won'r be a shocking news because India recently got bitcoin using right in their country where Nigeria already a country where bitcoin was legal before India. Well Nigeria now doing p2p transaction more because of their government recent step which was ban from bank transaction. Where India was doing p2p transaction when India was an irregulated country about bitcoin. And now Nigeria got the same mark. They got banned from bank transaction. Thats is why they are using p2p transaction. And thats why i think its a normal matter.

Population numbers play a much bigger role. Yes, maybe in terms of population India should be very superior when compared to Nigeria, but several other determining factors such as government regulations are very important. I see that India still has a few difficulties in implementing good crypto regulations, whereas Nigeria has found it easier. From the perspective of technology itself India should also be superior seeing the number of "big tech" that is there, it's just that the rather complicated regulations make Nigeria currently superior in their adoption

Very true OP, the Nigerian p2p market volume is seriously skyrocketing and is believed to be fueled by the recent restriction by the central bank. With the rate at which the penetration of bitcoin awareness is deepening in Nigeria, i would totally agree that in no time, the country will surpass India in p2p trading volume.

Nigeria Central bank governor is a confused he ban open bitcoin market and decided to incentivize direct remittance through cash, this is to attract more FX into the dubious fx market in Nigeria, but guess what? people still choose to settle remittance via P2p, people now understand that the government is enemy of the people when it comes to financial freedom.

Population numbers play a much bigger role. Don't go by the numbers. Less than 5% of Indian population have ever heard about cryptocurrency and those living in the smaller cities and rural areas are completely unaware of it. There are less than 10 million users in local cryptocurrency exchanges. If you add the P2P users as well, then the figure may come to 20-25 million. But still there is a good chance that there are more users in Nigeria (at least in terms of number of active users).

I don't think that will happen because India has so much population and the news and information about crypto and Bitcoin is really growing viral and more people are getting into it ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) but at the same time, the ban on exchanges are lifted by the Supreme Court so there are official exchanges which might reduce the P2P transaction if India goes more into pro-crypto. Let's see, what the future holds for countries and their P2P and crypto population ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) You don't think it will happen and it already happening my friend. You are comparing population of India to that of Nigeria but we are talking about people that are using and embracing the technology of bitcoin.

Nigeria youths love opportunities and freedom, this is why they love bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Well, I guess it was wrong of me to assume that bigger the population, higher will be the number of users, because even if China has largest population, they aren't top at everything, like YouTube or even crypto. You are right, the youth of Nigeria is heavily getting into crypto, I would be worried about them because the government I heard there is very anti-crypto. I think India will not be very behind either, as most students here take engineering as a career option and government is introducing blockchain as a course slowly, I think the youth of here will engage in crypto as well in high numbers ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

It is no secret that India is currently leading P2P among emerging markets or countries traded bitcoin in a restricted environment. Countries as India, Ghana, the Philippines, Argentina, Mexico and Egypt are all relying majorly on peer-to-peer, my thought therefore is that with the ban from open dealings and transactions from bitcoin in Nigerian banks , Nigeria may overtake the India record of leading the P2P emerging market in a year or two.
One reason to point to this is the Nigerian crypto population which showed in Nigeria position as number two in bitcoin market.
I think the data varies from one p2p platform to another, but if we’re going to base this on a particular, let’s say Paxful which became the largest p2p platform in the world, then Nigeria is already the number two largest p2p bitcoin market in the world, while the US stays as the number one. So India is not the second largest market, and moreover I don’t think I have heard about India being the second largest, I have always thought another country was the second largest market there is.But we can’t be hundred percent certain about these stats until we have gotten stats from lots of p2p exchanges and then combine the results to verify it.

Nigeria has a very high volume of individuals trading bitcoin and the population keeps growing, the central bank of Nigeria made a very wrong decision banning crypto transactions via bank accounts, but so bad for them thier plan failed because they couldn't even stop the Nigerian citizens from making transactions, instead it turned out to be more Nigerians coming into crypto and using the p2p system, if all Nigerian who hodl or trade bitcoin uses the p2p system surely there will over take India, but the main thing here is not all of them knows about p2p system, I got to find out that the ones who knows about the p2p system are now using it a as a business to buy and sell to their fellow citizens who doesn't know about the p2p system.

At least the Nigerian authorities realized that banning the ownership of cryptocurrency is not possible. Here (in India) some of the bureaucrats wanted to send cryptocurrency users to jail, for up to 10 years. Their proposal caused a lot of confusion here in India and pulled the cryptocurrency sector here backward by at least a decade. Fortunately, saner voices seems to be prevailing now. The finance ministry has so far refused to implement this lunatic proposal.

I don't know the statement is true or not. But it is not surprising to me. Because, Cryptocurrency is also banned in Bangladesh and here, in Bangladesh, we are also transferring our funds through using Crypto. Nowadays, the network fees are getting high so people are mostly using P2P method to transfer their funds. I am also using it. Any country can cross another country in terms of volume.

The daily trading volume of wazirx alone is $229 million and there are other exchanges and i not sure about the P2P volume but i think it is the over all volume and i wont be surprised if the daily volume crosses a billion dollar in the near future combined. I seriously do not care if Nigeria over takes India or any other country for that matter and i do not see it as a competition, people tend to use P2P if they think that they cannot trust the government and we know the situation in India is not that promising as we hear different stories every day on what the regulation would be.

Because the Central Bank of Nigeria has banned banks from transacting or dealing with crypto exchanges, it leads them to go P2P. It’s still a good thing for the Nigerian community because P2P is still in play and they were not yet banned from doing that. They are not giving up in making a living with crypto. The Central Bank of Nigeria has failed in their attempt to dump Bitcoin because of their dumb move, and now it got even higher. Alot of Nigerian do look for a simple and easy way to trade bitcoin especially those that are new to the business. Regardless of any available p2p. The decision by the CBN has already scare people away and that has been considerably low interest in joining or buying crypto by the people. Especially when you know the consequences will be closing of your bank account without your permission since the CBN has granted banks the permission to do so in case there is a traceable evidence that you are dealing with crypto

Yes, there's no reason for competition here. It is better if more countries will be more open-minded when it comes to crypto. Also, the population in India is like about 7 times of Nigeria. So if you will account the trading volume, I believe, India will be so much ahead of Nigeria. But in any case, we are all wishing that crypto regulations in each country should be fair with crypto users. We would like to hear more countries to be more crypto friendly and that will aid in more adoption.

The governments of both these countries have frequent tension with cryptocurrencies. That drives P2P transactions in these countries soaring. India has a large population and larger economic size so it will not be inferior to Nigeria in P2P transactions. The adoption of cryptocurrencies in Nigeria is greater than in India, but it is unlikely that P2P transactions in this country could be larger.

This should be self-explanatory. According to worldometerIndia's current population - 1,390,834,742 Nigeria's current population - 210,323,275 Even if the rate of crypto adoption was quite high in Nigeria, I don't think they can beat India's numbers in the near future. Population numbers play a much bigger role. true what you say... of the total population, Nigeria is far behind India, and there are more highly educated people in India than Nigeria then it is very unlikely that Nigeria will outperform P2P in India.

It can be, because India has lot of local exchanges where most people trading so the activities on p2p platforms might get reduced but in Nigeria the condition is exact opposite. AFAIK, central bank ban is still in the place so there is no way other than p2p platforms to buy and sell bitcoins and other cryptos for Nigerian citizens.

Let's not forget that Nigeria banks, CBN , banned financial institutions from helping in crypto transaction and it's not a huge surprise to me because in Nigeria 70%of the population get their daily bread from crypto and they have to adopt the p2p method
