Let’s first look at the US and Europe. Bitcoin is, understandably, extremely popular. If we look at the global distribution of Bitcoin nodes, we see that the top six in the world are in North America or Europe.

This is partly due to Bitcoin’s invention, which was essentially, despite Satoshi Nakamoto claimed Japanese background, first used by Americans, and certainly originally took off in the US. That means there has been more time for growth. There is readily available internet and power for miners. In the US there is also a strong libertarian streak among those on the right politically, and an anti-Big Bank attitude that was a big part of Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign. These attitudes help drive Bitcoin because of its decentralized nature, and the avoidance of banks. It also helps that in Europe and North America, governments don’t over-interfere in Bitcoin, but still try to regulate it to ensure stability and safety for users.
