looking at this map - almost looks like a bitcoin war is going on between usa and china. i understand china sees bitcoin as way of attacking the dollar. This site is stupid. I have no idea what this site is showing. When I compare okcoin on bitcoinwisdom and on this site (neary every transaction is showed as a transaction on OKCoin), I can't even see a similar pattern. And trades on Bitstamp are not shown at all. The impact of China to Bitcoin is smaller then most people think. I think the major cities are: 1. London 2. Berlin 3. US- cities Hm but using for what? Buying things? In actual stores or via the internet? Or trading it? Or just buying it as a longterm investment?

I think a lot of the volume is going towards currency speculation.
it doesn't bode well seeing vast amounts of bitcoin going to 1 or 2 locations, would have been nice to see a greater representation in developing countries.

Fiatleak isn't working correctly, I think it was originally created to manipulate the exchange rate at a time of turmoil.

Good analysis. New York and San Fran seem to be the consensus for most popular bitcoin cities. San Fran probably has more btc user per capita but NYC is huge of course so it makes up for it in volume of users(I'm assuming this anyway).

Max in his bubble in soho It would definitely be certain states within U.S

yes, as a fellow keiser listener and londener im surprised that london isnt more prominent in the btc market.
but....london seems to be the centre of economic fraud at the moment and perhaps the last place where btc would take adoption at the moment - even though there are many btc entrepreneurs in london i dont believe the mainstream adoption is as quite developed as the us or china.

Surprised to see it working now remember this had the biggest China Bias That said fiatleak still tracks buys and sell orders so it works more or less My best guess is New York since they have meetups there and Wall street is nearby with traders

Part of that is infrastructure and part of it is capital. Time will change that.

If I were to make an educated guess I would say either Vancouver or San Francisco.
Vancouver had the first bitcoin ATM that allowed it's population learn about, buy and start using bitcoin.
San Francisco's large amount of tech companies have many employees that are interested/use bitcoin.

That must be China, just by probability and country's population. The youtube views of that PSY guy are just by probability and country's population.

Enough with the China hype.. Why not Tokyo? Still the largest city and .. satoshi nakamoto . But now really , there is no usage of btc in china , almost no shop using it. I doubt that there are more than 1000 chinese that have btc in their wallets (not on their fake volume exchnges). My bet would be on either NYC or one of the major European cities close by.

China isn't actually a city lol I doubt that satochi is actually of asian decent. He probably chose that name to throw people off about his identity

If anything Japan is massively under represented in bitcoin. I hardly hear of anything going on in Japan related to bitcoin outside of the fact that Karpeles ran Gox out of Tokyo.
