I'm in the UK. I've never met anyone else who uses BTC and because no bank will give a crypto company an account, the scene is pretty pitiful compared to elsewhere in Europe and the US.

That said there are a couple of big and useful companies that accept it but it's not where it could be in comparison to elsewhere.

In my country very least people are aware about the bitcoin as a virtual currency. And it makes me worried that though my country is technology advanced but still many of them don't know what bitcoin is all about. So I am just worried that would be the future of bitcoin in my country.

Thats true same is the situation in my country but I am sure that govt will not be supporting the fact of btc as they support the fiat currency more as they are the owner of that currency and they are holding the power so they would never support the bitcoin as a currency.

Hi!  Smiley
How BTC bitcoin developed in your country? Are there many people in your real life that you know that use BTC ?

No, sadly hardly anyone uses btc here. Im not saying there are no bitcoin users, but they sure are just a few. There was an outbreak when bitcoin price was
jumping into hype, but that lost traction soon after, along with the price.
Any particular reason why you are interested ?

cheers

Bitcoin is running at a slow pace in my country. I live in somewhere in south east asia part  Smiley . There are about 10 % of the entire country population that use bitcoin, for trading and other purposes and like 20 % of the entire population that know it . There are only 2 Bitcoin ATM here and only thre BTC-fiat exchange here , which two of them is not popular and only 1 exchanger is reliable for the exchange to fiat

As for me , I only know few people that use bitcoin, in my university especially my major, there are only two people that know bitcoin, me and my friend which I teach him about

I live and work in both the North and South hemispheer. In my home town, Bitcoin is well developed, with a lot of ATM's and merchants accepting the currency. It's a whole different story, when I work on contracts in Africa. The 3rd world countries are clueless when it comes to Bitcoin, BUT they do use digital currencies in the form of M-Pesa.

When I go to Africa, I feel like a alien on another planet. You get so used to having the comfort of using Bitcoin every day, and then suddenly you have to go without it for a month or two.

After a while you get used to it, and you start to use M-Pesa too or just fiat cash.  Grin

My country is a baby kitten in the middle of the rail road tracks that sees the BTC express barrelling towards them at a 100 mph.

No from my 300+ facebook friends only a couple know about it from what I can gather which is a shame I only have one person in my family who has any interest in it. Looks like we are the outsiders lol

I'm from the second smallest city/country in Asia. Yes a city and a country - Singapore. It is a first world country and.. I believe more than 50% of the people here know Bitcoin. I remember there was lot of "Bitcoin" in the news in the 2013/14 Bitcoin bubble. Slowly.. there is less and less news when the price keep on getting lower..

Question: is bitcoin still widely-known in your country as it was back then? Well I did a Google Trends analysis about bitcoin and it seems that the attention about it diminishes over time since the 2013 ATH of bitcoin's price.

I'm not sure. I rarely talk with people about Bitcoin. I remember I saw one physical outlet with 'Bitcoin accept here' on their glass door. Well.. that was in the Bitcoin bubble prior. Yes, only once.

Looking at my local thread, there is still people who use Bitcoin in Singapore.

Well that's still good. Smiley

Are there still any exchanges in there in SG wherein you can trade bitcoins to fiat and vice-versa? Here in the Philippines, there are many exchanges and most of them are still in service at the time of this writing. Also, there are different facebook groups here in our country wherein Filipino bitcoiners talk about the current situation of bitcoin, the economy and whatnot.

Yes there is. One of them is CoinHako which I just know them few weeks back in the local thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214887.640. When I Google for Bitcoin.. there will always be exchanges advertisement came up. I rarely (I mean.. never) click on them. This is because I'm using other oversea exchange which have greater volume.

Oh speacking of Bitcoin ATM. If I'm not wrong, Singapore was the second country to have Bitcoin ATMs. And we have two Bitcoin ATMs! Never used them as I dont need them.

Due to the nature of my work, I travel all over the world. I have not found one country, apart from the UK, where people actively use Bitcoin. Sure they have heard about it, but they not using it. Most of the time, they only heard the bad news, so they scared to use it. The biggest concern - Hacking. ^sniff sniff

There are bitcoiners in Romania, but I don't know personally.
In my city I didn't see yet any "bitcoin accepted" shop.
There was an exchange - btcxchange.ro - where you could trade, it died, nothing replaced it, afaik.
At least you can buy BTC from payment terminals (ZebraPay).

Most of my friends don't care or don't trust Bitcoin.. Sad
