So why is this so low?
Because it's only half inflated unlike other numbers.
I don't understand how people keep believing stories in some countries you have one in 3 or 4 people owning and what's even more hilarious labeling them as "users". By the numbers in the last topic you have 8% of Indians owning and using crypto, that would make at least 1.5 million crypto users in the metro area of New Delhi yet you have 3 businesses accepting crypto there. Yeah, it makes total sense, isn't it?
Move out of the capital cities of most countries and do mention Bitcoin and let's see how many will look at you as if something is wrong with you as you speak gibberish.
Do you think with 700 million people owning Bitcoin we would still be at 20k a piece?
We're nowhere near that level of adoption and look at the really bright side, if already 1/3 of the world would be owning crypto, what would be left for growth?
First of all, the source of the news is something I don't want to click on at all, and secondly, who is the person you are indirectly promoting here? The fact that someone is the CEO of a company does not mean that he can estimate how many Russians know or do not know what Bitcoin is, and even less whether they own it or not.
I actually think he is far closer o the actual numbers than sot of those, I sometimes have a feeling that anything over 5% for an entire country is an over exaggeration right now, I know personal experiences are not relevant at this level but I highly doubt that there is somebody here who can claim that in each family he knows there is at least one crypto owner.
