Cypress, Venezuela, India, Brexit is what drive BTC. More events, bigger events will soon bypass China influence.
Yes, they are way more important than China in my opinion. What makes them more important is that the citizens of these countries will somehow be forced to join Bitcoin because they will not trust the local currency again, or they got a limit of money they can go abroad with so they need to find some other way of doing it. And what's easier than printing a simple paper wallet on which you can put billions? The demand will keep growing especially with each event and crisis like these. It's bad that it happens, but we can do nothing about it.
