As Per Google Search Trends Data Past 5 Years Show Bitcoin Searches on Worldwide

1. Nigeria
2. Ghana
3. South Africa
4. Slovenia
5. Austria
6. Netherlands
7. Singapore
8. Switzerland
9. Australia
10. Pakistan

I didn't expect to see a top 3 of African countries here. On the other hand it could be that bitcoin is even more stable then the local currencies.

Just checked the top 10 countries with the highest inflation:
Venezuela   -2358%
Zimbabwe - 761%
Sudan - 167   %
Lebanon - 120%
Argentina - 39.2%
Suriname - 38.3%
Iran - 30.4%
Congo - 28.73%
Angola - 23.41%
Haiti   -23.4%

A lot of African countries but not the one of the top3. Maybe we will see the countries of the top 10 back in the Google Search Trends within a few months/years.

Back in the day when I was selling my original BTC GPU mining cards on Amazon I had a lot of buyers from Venezuela and other countries that used forwarding companies to ship mining hardware. Distribution wise Venezuela might not be up there but from a use case standpoint I can see the citizens preferring that as opposed to their overnight worthless currency.

To this day used video cards still sell well in those listed countries as long as electricity prices are reasonable.
