Almost none of bitcoins usage is by the people that need it.


What makes you say this? Nigeria, a country with a currency that loses purchasing parity power every year, has the highest per capita usage of Bitcoin in the world.

Sounds like the people that need it ARE using it...


Are you suggesting that most Bitcoin users live in Nigeria (or a place like it)?


No?

I'm saying that Nigeria has per capita the largest Bitcoin using population on Earth compared to other countries, which is a counterpoint to the argument that people that need it (escaping local currency controls + inflation) are not using it. I am arguing that people that need it ARE using it.


Do you have a source for that?
