As we all know, Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency world may just have hit critical mass. BTC has soared past $2,500 in most American and European markets, not a shabby moon at all. It turns out, though, that some Asian and African markets are far ahead. ### Nigeria With a population of 175 million, Nigeria is by far Africa's most populous country. In Nigeria, BTC has soared past 1 million NGN. The current price is equivalent to **$3,300**. ### South Africa South Africa is Africa's largest economy, and BTC is mooning pretty well there as well. The current rates are ZAR 40,000, which is **$3,100**. ### India Interestingly, while official figures suggest India is the second most populous country in the world, many dispute that China's claims are exaggerated and India is in fact the most populous country in the world. Either way, at nearly 1.3 billion people, its population is comparable to the whole of North America and Europe combined! It also has the second largest English speaking population after the USA. BTC demand has truly mooned in India. The top BTC exchange app in India now has 500,000 users and exchanges struggling to cope and facing extended downtimes and delays. That hasn't hampered Indian traders one bit. Currently, the price is closing in on INR 220,000, which is **$3,300**. ### Japan Arguably, it was Japan's legalization of BTC that kickstarted this recent boom. Due to relatively greater adoption, Japan appears more stable than some of its Asian counterparts, but at the equivalent of **$3,000** it's well ahead of the US markets. ### South Korea There's no place cryptocurrencies are exploding as in South Korea, however. I have read reports that, like in India, exchanges are struggling to meet demand, with delayed withdrawals etc, but I can't verify it. Hope some Steemians from the Korean community can comment. The current price in South Korea is an eye-popping **$4,000**! Even ETH is approaching $350! What do you folks think? Is this sustainable? Will the US BTC price catch up to its Asian and African counterparts?
