wow 88%? in the philippines if im not mistaken we only have less than 20% of people who knew bitcoin , and some of those people who knew bitcoin only in reading or heard to somewhere thought that it was scam , and some people here not that much giving attention in to like this thats why even we have a lot of populations its less popularity here .

I am living in the United Kingdom, and here some people know about cryptocurrency, and every day more people know about Bitcoin, it's related to this year price surge 1000$ > 10.000$. In London right now 20 Bitcoin ATM cash machines, last time I've checked few 4-5 months ago was around 12. In my workplace almost all my colleagues heard about Bitcoin but only a few trust it, it's bad press and big banks like JP Morgan that says negative things and people like sheeps listing and memorise it. I think 40% heard in UK.
In Poland where I come from not many people heard about Bitcoin for sure, I will guess maybe 5% at best.

I'd be curious if Bitcoin Forum members can chime in on what the estimated awareness might be for their region or country:

It is no doubt that bitcoin is well known in Japan.  The creator of bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, is a Japanese if we look on his name though we do not know if its true.  And besides Japan legalized bitcoin that is why it is popular there.  Services there, even restaurants accepts bitcoin.

88% is really considered a high percentage. In asian countries and even in Singapore I feel the maximum would just be a mere 50%, but only 20% would be considered actively participating.

Im not pretty sure, perhaps 30% of our total population here in the Philippines have heard about bitcoin, but only few who invest of it, maybe because of lack of knowledge and lack of resources to get involved with bitcoin business.  

That’s quite true. Ony a number of people in the Philippines know about it. It’s been increasing in popularity the past few weeks. A lot get curious and have some interest in investing. It’s not yet mainstream and bitcoin would still be a foreign concept to a lot in the Philippines if you were to ask them. It’s true that bitcoin knowledge is lacking and limited, also there’s not much resources for the bitcoin users as said.

German people really prefer the safer side when it comes to investments. I see so many people in my country that have heard very little about bitcoin but they immediately brand it as a scam rather than wanting to know more about it. It's really sad that the only people I know which adopt cryptocurrencies have an engineering background.

It is given that majority of Japan's citizens will know what Bitcoin is I mean they are one of the most developed country out their and they are highly advance also in terms of cryptocurrency. One factor I see why there is a high rate of people that know Bitcoin in Japan is because of their working atmosphere an article I see is that Japenese are being overworked which they are also being underpaid making them find others ways to create money.

Japanese are underpaid? Lol, from what planet are you visiting?
Japanese people enjoy one of the highest wages in the world and you call them underpaid?

Oh, finally somebody nailed it.
It doesn't matter if everybody in India is interesting in BTC since half of the population can't afford a daily tx fee. Pretty normal that bitcoin holders and users come from countries where you can afford to invest at least 1-5k yearly from your annual wage.

The more that i stay longer in this forum,the more that ive known that there were some of my countrymen who is being  a part of this bitcoin community.I think this would be a good start for our country to finally adopt bitcoin.Through our knowledge and experiences we would be able to introduce it to some of our closest friend or families because cryptocurrecy is not famous in our country and not everyone used smartphones or laptop not like Japan that has its advanced technology that can truly adopt bitcoin as their source of payments etc.Population of Japanese helps alot on bitcoin fluctuations of price.

In my country Indonesia most of those who know about Bitcoin are teenagers interested in the Crypto market, they are looking for Bitcoin through mining and making articles, signatures, etc. accessing them via the Internet.

Because my country is the main sector of focus where everyone is not very conscious or have confidence in it despite the technological improvement.

This is a good chance to earn more bitcoin and hold it because theres a lot of country especially japan already  know about bitcoin and i think bitcoin price will going increase more in the next year or in the future.
I think the rate of population in my country that heard about bitcoin is 75% and 30% ever 75% they are using bitcoin. Many of them heard it but some of them never try to use it, i think because they dont know what to do and how it works, or they dont have knowledge about it.

In my country most of them who know about bitcoin are teenagers who are interested In crypto market or have heard about by accessing internet because our country is primary sector focused in which all are not much aware or do have faith in them inspite of technological upgradations.The country is developing so is the population so it will take some time for majority to be concerned about this crypto king.Although the prices are very high due to great demand but still wonder that majority don't know about it still bitcoin captures a huge market that's the real power of it.
