as the local currency, the lira, lost a considerable amount against the USD, nearly 20% of Turks now say they own cryptocurrency, the percentage is about 9% in the developed (rich) world , similarly, Venezuelan are scrambling to get their hands on crypto, as dollars are harder to get and inflation ballooned above a million percent per year,, with this in mind we can tell what has been expected by many in crypto had actually happened, third and second world economies are leading the way in crypto adoption, and there is now hard data to back this up.This is hardly surprising as the fiat systems of these sorts of countries are far less stable.
I expect this trend to continue, as the need for solutions like bitcoin are far more needed in these places.
