...Latin America is the world region where most cryptocurrency users are located,...

They must have their methodologies and methods and all. They must have a random sampling and I hope it was scattered as it should be. But, without any prejudice, the result was kind of surprising to me. The second spot, for example, where cryptocurrencies are most common, goes to Colombia, together with Brazil. I haven't heard much of cryptocurrencies being very widespread in Colombia. I think I must have missed a lot of news.

Don't you find it funny they say Japan is at the bottom? You know, home of defunct Mt.Gox, first country to legalize Bitcoin, etc, etc...

that is the problems with statistics that are based on surveys! they always mess things up in their participant selections and end up with false results which is why these types of statistics are never reliable to begin with. in fact there is a ton of research gone into the "selection" process where you find groups of people to answer your questions. in simple terms if you go to bitcointalk and ask people how many of them used bitcoin and then go to blablahtalk and ask them the same thing you can't compare the results!
