There is no shortage of news outlets hyping up countries and refer to them as crypto hot spots, while in reality there aren't any metrics actually pointing out that there is much happening over there. I haven't seen anything aside from a few local individuals in Venezuela who shared with the world they like crypto, haven't seen anything about Zimbabwe while it was praised for its Bitcoin adoption, etc.

This global 'adoption' that we're reading about seems to be as much of a buzz hype as the blockchain buzz hype itself is. Lots of talk and promises, but next to nothing that actually delivers something.
