I think that's because at the early stage bitcoin was mainly supported by IT-enthusiasts and libertarians who had a profound knowledge and interest in the theme, as you can afford digging into staff like that and invest when your living standatds are high. However, when you live in a poor country and have to toil whole day to make for living, not much time and interest is left.

I find you thought a good one. Another reason is, Bitcoin originated in a country where people are open for a change and technology evolution.

The American adults to help map out the cryptocurrency landscape in the US. It found that 7.95% of the population has invested in a cryptocurrency, leaving much room for adoption to grow among the vast majority of Americans. And among the 92.05% of didnt buy any cryptocurrency, 7.76% do plan to purchase some in the future.

Just 40.01% say they are not interested or they think theres no need for them.
