Which country has most number of bitcoin users, miners and vendors? And in which country bitcoin is accepted the most? Like in at institutes or super malls or stores etc.
Has such data been calculated and available on the world wide web?
I would think that the most amount of users and miners would be a split between the United States and China. I feel that the US has more users but China has far more miners than the US. There are many Bitcoin friendly countries in the world, most countries have rules and regulations about it and others don't have any regulations on the use of Bitcoin. There are even some very unfriendly countries that will put you in jail if you are caught transacting Bitcoin.


For example?  I think swiss is the most bitcoin friendly Country in the world imho.  Another friendly country is Netherlands, Great Britain, Japan. Unfriendly Countries are Russia, Bangladesh, Jordon and so on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country
Bangladesh, In September 2014, Bangladesh Bank said that "anybody caught using the virtual currency could be jailed under the country's strict anti-money laundering laws".
Jordan,The government of Jordan has issued a warning discouraging the use of bitcoin and other similar systems.
