Here in India, I guess no more than 10% might have heard about the crypto-currency. There is a lot of negative propaganda going on in the major media outlets here (especially in the newspapers), and therefore we can expect most of these people to have a negative impression about the crypto.

It is been called the bitcoin capital of Asia, Japan continuously making advancement in bitcoin investment and many of the Japanese people knew bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies very well. Other countries, particularly in Asia, might also take Japan as a role model in managing their own crytpcurrency exchanges. In my own country, majority of the bitcoin users are young and almost all of them used social media to to get the latest update on virtual currencies. Sad to say, only a minority knew about bitcoin if you compare it to other countries like Japan.

I consume only 10% for people who really know and get involved in it from all the population in my country. The rest is only 15% who just listen and ignore.

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

a quote:
"A recent survey of 10,000 men and women across Japan shows that 88% of them have heard of bitcoin. Among those that have bitcoin, 47% said that they have used it in retail stores but long-term investment is most respondents’ main reason for purchasing bitcoin."

Japan is one of the biggest players of the crypto world, so it is not surprising that the population is informed about bitcoin and crypto.

japan can be an example for bitcoin use, their Japanese state they accept and adopt bitcoin as legal currency, of course by legalizing its development bitcoin will increase and its users will increase.
but different in my country, government slow in responding technology so bitcoin development is not very visible in my country, only a few percent of its citizens know and use bitcoin and the rest still do not know it

Japan is a country that fully supports Bitcoin. In their country, 80% of people know that Bitcoin is not strange. Unfortunately, in my country, there are very few people who know Bitcoin, and most people know that Bitcoin is a scam or a bubble.

Japan has always been ahead in terms of Bitcoin adoption and use. While other countries have yet to formally take a look into it and craft legislation that would perfectly into the latest innovation in technology, Japan has already done so and has already allowed its circulation and use. As we all know, Japan is a lot more advanced than other countries, including mine. A lot of rich people here in my country have heard of Bitcoin for sure but since my country has a lot of poor people as well, I expect that there is still more than half of the entire population that does not have any inkling as to what it is.

I am from Pakistan and here bitcoin is still an alien term for over 85% of population, but its popularity is growing every passing day and people are now sharing success stories and increasing the awareness and investment in BTC and alts. I too was inspired by a friend who made a fortune through it. and I have further involved 12 more friends into it and the tree grows on .......

This once again proves that Japan is one of the most high-tech countries in the world. I am sure that there are no such indicators of using crypto currency in any country. In most countries, no more than 15-20 percent is known about crypto currency, and the average figure will not be more than 1-2 percent. The crypto currency has a long way to go before it enters our life. I think that the big contribution to this should be made by tokens, which will work in different spheres and areas of our life. It is through them that people should appreciate the convenience and comfort from their use, because bitcoin as a universal coin can not afford this to people.

If 88 percent of Japanese have heard about crypto currency and 47 percent of them used to pay or just have their wallets, I'm sure it's the biggest figure in the world. It is necessary to recognize that Japan is far ahead of all countries in introducing crypto currency.
In the world, I think, no more than one percent of the population know about the crypto currency. Even in countries such as China and Russia, the crypto currency has not heard 80 percent. What to speak of other countries. The Crypto-currency, you can say, is only just beginning to enter our world, and this process will continue to be protracted. Its result will depend on how successful the implementation of the crypto currency is in our daily lives.

In the Philippines i think its 20 to 30% but the 10% know bitcoin while the 10% to 20% heard but they don't give any attention to it, actually some of our banks here does not promote bitcoin because of some reasons they close some bank accounts that is related to it.

Bitcoin is very popular in Japan, and many businesses support BTC's payment method!
BTC is banned in our country! Minerals are also banned, and ico is forbidden!

I would say 90% of people who are using the internet knows about bitcoin. The question is how did they know bitcoin. Its sad that they see bitcoin as a scam. Unfortunately, bitcoin was used in NETWORKING to scam people. The scam was so huge that it only requires one whistle blower to tell the public how they scam. Bitcoin has a stigma in our country. Someday I will prove them that we can earn money on bitcoin without using other people.
March 18, 2018, 11:41:32 PM
half of the country heard bitcoin and its a 3rd world country im living in.
March 18, 2018, 11:40:48 PM
I am not surprised about the percentage of Japanese people who have known or into cryprocurrency. They are the one of the world's leading countries in technology and that's the reason why they don't hesitate to embrace the blockchain technology. I think only 50% of the total population of people in our country knows about cryptocurrency.
March 18, 2018, 11:29:27 PM
i don't know how many percentages people know bitcoin in my country. If I watch around me there are a lot of people who knows bitcoin but they see it as a bad things and have a huge risk even most peoples see it as illegal.
March 18, 2018, 11:26:56 PM
Most people in New Zealand have heard of bitcoin but i find most of the people i talk to have no idea what it really is.
March 18, 2018, 11:24:55 PM
Here in Philippines ..theres maybe about 20% people who engaged and knowledgable in bitcoin/crypto.. But in terms of bitcoin usage..not really sure yet..ive heard there are already 2 banks that accepts process bitcoin ... Maybe crypto has already started to spread out ...hopefully yes...
March 18, 2018, 11:06:39 PM
my country is a developed country and many people do not know some of it but some people know it, and want to trust the people in my country must take time, this investment is very good in use all the economies of society
March 18, 2018, 10:34:07 AM
