Why Most Bitcoin Users From Good Economies Countries?
Bitcoin has its roots in two main phenomena:
1.
The cypherpunk movement which sees cryptography (that why the 'cypher', instead of the 'cyber') as a bedrock that can ensure privacy in all our interactions.
2.
Ideas of libertarianism, that advocate individual liberty as the highest ideal and aims for minimal government intervention.
Both these ideas aim for personal responsibility and liberty without the government laying down norms on what to do, how to transact, how much to tax etc. etc. Today if i wanted to start a business, I'd need a hundred clearances from the government departments in my country. I am the one who puts in the hard work in my business but the government gets a share of it in the form of taxation at every stage. They do this by making "exchange of value" a highly complex system that involves banks and law agencies at their core.
Bitcoin does two things to further the cause of privacy and liberty. It is a "medium of exchange" as well as a "store of value" without needing an approval from the government. We, the people give it true value.
Only in developed societies people have had enough freedom, education and personal courage to follow these above ideas so most bitcoin "users" are from developed countries.

How the people of small countries can participate in participation and benefit from it?
On the other hand, people in developed countries are forced to see governments as some sort of a benevolent giant that can crush you anytime but chooses not to. That is because, the level of public services, law and order etc. in our countries is so abysmal that we have a constant need to make ourselves and our loved ones safe from the struggles and dangers of a "normal life". People are too busy trying to earn enough authority or enough money so that they are not vulnerable to the fickleness of such an insecure society.
Bitcoin gives these people a chance for the first time to be their own master. Go peer-to -peer and create your own local economy. In whatever small scale it maybe, you can choose to teach yourself about the technology and the ideas behind it. Let go off the silly notions of creed, race, nationalities and so on. When religion stopped working, people introduced patriotism in the mix. Ultimately, it's only about controlling the population. Those who are lucky enough to get in touch with these ideas have the choice to let go off just be what god/nature/evolution made us. Human.
Take responsibility, Build things, Be Kind and Share.
