Topic: why most of btc users are russians? - page 13. (Read 9259 times)
I don't know if your statement is backed with real data, but most of the ponzi mine cloud scams are deeply Russian based. Just my 2 cents here.
I have never realized that most btc users are russians, and now that you mention it, I still do not realize 
Where are you getting this information from? Or what makes you think that.
Yeah I also do not understand how they see this data actually you can find out who the most bitcoin members in google. I also often find members of this forum of russia. perhaps this is a picture of the users out there. russia has a lot of users in this forum Where are you getting this information from? Or what makes you think that.
here the statement is most of the bitcoin users are Russians.. but i have heard various Russian authorities and organisations has taken action against bitcoin.. how they are indulging here???
why most of btc users are russians? 
and why most of russians are scammers?
Do you have a basis of what you are saying? If you have been scammed or have a bad experience with a Russian that doesn't mean all of them or most of them are scammer's. and why most of russians are scammers?

Russia's FIAT is extremely unstable. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more "serious" users because of this, but I still think the majority of people are in the US and China.
I don't think so, i think the most of bitcoins users are USA and China. Russians also have many people who use bitcoin, but not much as on USA and China, that's my opinion.
It is not that there are so much russians. Thing is (I think) that when you use say, a russian faucet or HYIP or "cloud mining", you see the russians characters and immediately think there are lots of them.
There are also quite a lot of hispanic-latino people, chinese...etc, but as they write with same characters as english people, one tends not to notice.

not right, btc users are from all the world but I think the most are Asian for Chain , Hong kong ......
The most of btc users are Chinese not Russians. However, Russians are very interested in BTC because of their currency's situations recently.
as i know chinese is the most user in the world at bitcoin price now is manipulated by china market, so i think most bitcoin users are not the people of Russia.
I didn't know there are lots of them here. and so they still are using bitcoin even after putin made it clear that btc is not allowed in their country. maybe they launder their money using btc thinking a war between them with china could happen any moment
That's total bullshit. Everyone knows that most Bitcoin users are Asians because Bitcoin now comes in shrimp flavor! Yummmm.
Maybe because their currency isn't that strong so they would prefer to keep something that is currently stronger. (Bitcoin)
Not strong and getting weaker too

I think it is not true, i did not saw russians at large amount on bitcoin.
but there are a large number of westerns, especially from UK and USA using bitcoin.
and about scammers!
They are available at some amount in every community ,

It is basically impossible to determine who the fraudsters are and who owns what Bitcoin address. Something I did pick up from this forum is the activity under the different languages are the most
active under the Russian section with 514795 Posts and 23881 Topics. Is this proof of your statements? Nope. The majority of the discussions are under the English section and many Russian people
talk and write English too. Let's see some proof of these statements, before we debate this even further.

I don't know how true the OP's claim is. If it is true though then it's probably because Putin & their government closely monitor where they spend their money & with bitcoin it's a lot more difficult to be monitored.
OP's claim looks more like an speculation rather than with hard facts.
besides there is no sure way to tell which country has the more bitcoin users, because there is no way of tracking who sends bitcoin from which IP for example using services like online wallets, TOR, and broadcasting TX through some online service (other nodes) make it impossible to know it.
what you are telling is right but i think OP is really wrong because in russia bitcoin is illegal and in US and Europe Bitcoin is accepted and their are ATM of bitcoins, trading shops and coffee shops are their but no one heard about anything in russia. OP have to clear his message how he concluded that Russian are most in bitcoin and they are mostly scammers.
No Russian companies, no Russian developers, no Russian exchanges (maybe btc-e). What's the OP smoking?
