Makes sense. Density follows internet usage/density. The strange exception is Japan and the rest of eastern Asia. Those countries generally have above average internet usage/access but Bitcoin popularity lags.

A lot of the blank spaces on that map simply doesn't have that many inhabitants.
However, I am surprised that africa isn't more active, especially considering how volatile the african economies can be, and how much they would benefit from a deflationary currency.

It's my impression Japan and many other Asian countries practically have their own internet, for all that the users in the west and the east connect. Strong language barriers, for one. |

Seems that Scandinavia is a bitcoin hotspot, followed by English speaking countries. Note that USA is a huge and diverse country unlike Finland; if the USA average is 19.1, then the user density is probably twice as high in hotspots such as New York.

Japans economy has had deflanonary currency in the last couple of yeas, resulting in beeing one of the contrys most in dept in the world (if not THE country most in dept). I can understand why a deflationary currency doesn't seem very attractive there. |
All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

I am from Scandinavia (Denmark), and to me Denmark seems like a Bitcoin desert. Strange that Sweden and Finland (neighbor countries) are that well represented. |
