The most surprising here are India and Indonesia. I thought compared to how popular is internet in India and how popular are Gold and cash there, Bitcoin is way behind. I guess just news dont come out.

India and Indonesia alone account for what, 20% of the world's population? If this map is accurate, even at 1% that is around the 15 million mark, in just these two nations.  I am not sure whether to be sceptical, or blown away.

To extrapolate: with the rest of the world rolled in, if true this means many tens of millions of people - turned on and tuned in.  When I first was on this forum it was like being in a fringe group of nerdy anarchic oddballs.  Bitcoin getting a tiny mention in a major newspaper was a thing

Now there are more Bitcoin users than the population count of most European countries.
