Really, the US?  I thought China ruled above all as far as that goes.  It doesn't seem like the US has really adopted bitcoin at all.  And I say that because I live in the US and I know of no place around me that takes bitcoin.  And I don't know many other users in real life.  You're very knowledgeable, so I shall take your word for that.  Didn't think England was anywhere near 'Powerhouse' status, but I profess ignorance in many things bitcoin.
