1.7 billion people ranging from 200 million in China and India each,
These two countries are why every country wants to join the BRICS. They are the ones who have a significant and rising economy and they are the ones who have contributed heavily to the New Development Bank. China has banned Bitcoin and India has placed a tax that has placed a shadow ban. Since I am from India, to use CBDC you do not need to have a bank account. The government as we all know is able to control CBDC without much effort.
100 million range in Pakistan and Indonesia, 45 to 65 million range in Mexico, Bangladesh, Nigeria etc.
Most of the data provided by these countries is incorrect. I assume the numbers would be more than what the world bank has reported. Already we have seen within the forum so many users are from these countries. I am certain these countries would benefit with adoption. I agree they are the ones we need to focus on.
Hence with 1.7 billion people staying unbanked
This figure is incorrect as two big countries wont allow or put a shadow ban on Bitcoin.
