So what's wrong?

I'm always surprised to see people surprised when they discover there are places in the world which are different from the place they live.

None of my friends is on facebook. That's normal to me. I haven't used any of my credit cards for more than a month. That's normal for the place where I am. I hope there will be big differences between countries forever.

Very well said.
In fact, Bitcoin should become mainstream and success first in USA, Japan and EU.
If this happen, Bitcoin will be naturally accepted in other parts of the world over time.

20 million mobile phones that can pay bills with bitcoin if someone starts the service

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_the_Asia_Pacific_region#Nepal

$4.8 Billion + yearly remittances waiting to save time and money using bitcoin ( which by the way is approximately 25% of gdp)

In Nepal, remittance inflows rose 14% over the previous year to $4.8 billion in 2012, according to the World Bank. The bank estimates that fund flows increased another 8.8% to $5.21 billion last year.

and I think Nepal ban any foreign currency on its soil, you cant even use paypal, fertile ground for Bitcoin...
Yeah,bitcoin could flourish well on proper implementation.Paypal services are restricted here and international money transfers and money movement is also abandoned.It's not easy to send money outside the country,But receiving is a very easy task.

oppurtunity it is,the remittance services would be a goo sector of bitcoin business adoption here and same with the bill pay of phones.But the challenge is that to let people know of something that they haven't heard at all and get them use it.And also central bank of Nepal has considered bitcoin illegal,though no any official usage restrictions has been announced/implemented.

This means your way ahead of the pack so try and use this to your advantage.  It will likely be an uphill battle but it could be lucrative for you to be the first Bitcoin business in your area.  You have a chance to educate Bitcoin to others as something positive that will benefit them and everyone else they know.  Instead of the fear and smear campaigns the media brings to the table.  Good luck  Smiley
I am thinking of the same,inception of some bitcoin related business here in my land.Risk is that it would surely take a much effort when people have little or not at all knowledge about the BTC technology

The fact that there is such a small number of BTC users in Nepal is an even bigger reason to try and get involved with any sort of business that will utilize the power and benefits of BTC above adopted fiat.
Yup.  Set up a brokerage to provide a service for people to buy and sell Bitcoin easily

As in the other part of the globe,bitcoin is gaining so much popularity and the part here is still unknown about the term bitcoin.Many people relating to technology doesn't even know the term bitcoin.And I have a assumption that there are no more than 100 people who have ever used or adopted bitcoin as their payment method.

I am talking about is  "Nepal" what do you think?Have your say peeps

But, as I can see, a LOT of buying & selling are taking place in Nepal...

Maybe, the people around u r not into Bitcoin or not interested to speak about Bitcoin.
No localbitcoins have not much people from Nepal but those people who offer bitcoin buy/sell services to Nepal

You can start promoting Xbot coin in countries that don't have internet or computer.
But, they have access to cellphone.
People can use your phone to send tweets commands to buy, sell, trade Xbot coins.

Bitcoin is borderless. The number of bitcoin users in your country doesn't affect you. You can still buy and hold bitcoins from exchanged around the world. In fact, it is a business opportunity for you to promote and sell bitcoins locally, or start a business selling local specialty to the world.

That's an opportunity isn't it?
Find a way to get btc in people's hands and you have the contours of a business
I don't think it is that easy. When starting a business, you will carry a lot of risk. The reasons the people don't know about BTC need to be investigated, such as no internet connection in some area, denial to new technology, lack knowledge to understand it, or the banning of regulation etc.  Whether there are some chances to solve these problems needs to be considers carefully before starting this business.

Arbitrary figure is arbitrary. I would be very surprised if less than 100 people in Nepal use Btc

Where did you get 30%, since you don't need to provide personal info to use Bitcoins?

Anyway, it is always this way. First the developed and innovative countries adopt some innovation, then after some decades or so, it spreads to the not developed world. If it in fact reaches all the world.
