I don't know exactly about the other regions but from ASIA you cannot take gold away. They are crazy about gold and they are ready to invest in gold any time. I think this year investors are more interested in Gold as compared to crypto currency. Now Let's wait for the mid January to have an idea of BTC price.
not all countries in Asia have good internet connections, so indeed for regions that are still underdeveloped it will be very difficult to be able to trade bitcoin, for some regions they are not familiar with bitcoin, so they are more interested in gold investations, but for regions urban areas, especially in developed countries such as Korea, Japan, Singapore and other countries that are already advancing, then the public starts infesting in crypto, there needs to be comprehensive socialization in all regions regarding the experience of bitcoin currencies, if this happens then the public can start investing in crypto currency.
