Bitcoin in Asia is quite popular compared to the western Continents. This is all because of the increased acceptance and the people easily using it an way for getting an additional earning based on its legitimacy. In my thinking bitcoin will be growing high than expected as there is tremendous increase in adoption around the Asian countries.

In my country (the Philippines, which is in Asia), bitcoin is recognized but not yet accepted accepted as a paymnet system in establishments unlike in the other countries. However, their are exchanges and just recently, two more exchanges will open up. Hopefully this would pave the way towards more adoptions of bitcoin in the country.

I'm not so sure with the other asian countries, but I heard that it is accepted and cryptocurrency is recohpgnized as legal in Japan. Efforts have been made to adopt it as a legal currency, so I've heard.

Bitcoin is Asia is being accepted one of the reasons why is because Asia country has a low paying job, since altcoin/ico campaign pays more than usual job many people has a day time job and a campaign job.

If in my country bitcoin is increasingly used in use as a means of exchange of cash replacement. But only for online shopping. But use bitcoin more in use for investment

I think bitcoins is more popular now adays specialy here in asia now that japan already accepting bitcoins koea also amd some asian countrys like here in philippines also more and more people are joining everyday as more people will use bitcoins will cointinue rise in asia

Asia is a very large continent, I have been in an Asian country for a while, there is no Bitcoin Stock Exchange in the country I have been in, and the businesses did not accept Bitcoin, so I think the overall situation of Asia is like this, with many innovative steps for China and Japan for Bitcoin.

Much of the mining activity takes place in Asia, that's for sure. In terms of usage and acceptance, the more advanced countries seem to have warmed up really well to bitcoin, leading the way are Japan and South Korea. These two countries have significant contributions on the rise of bitcoin usage over the past few months,which has also led to higher demans which in effrct pushed the price higher.

and for the reason that most people around asia always looking for some ways to earn extra. I'm also part of a third world country from asia and see here that bitcoin is not yet been popularized but those who knows about it already taking advantage.

The countries in Asia are currently the global leaders in Bitcoin mining {China} and adoption {Japan} .... India might become one

of those leaders, if their government can come to a decision about the regulations regarding Bitcoin. India are currently so focussed

on the negative aspects of Bitcoin that they are completely missing the advantages that it might have. {tax income & jobs & the

alleviation of poverty} 

Asian regions has a larger influence regarding bitcoin usage and here are the top countries where has high a regards of bitcoin usage and trading :

1. China - there's no doubt it is the center of semiconductor manufacturing and most mining hardware are manufactured in china whether it is ASIC or GPU. large portions of mining pools are located in china. it has a concentration of 81% of mining pools.
2. Japan - this is where the Asia's largest bitcoin trader and has a huge acceptance of bitcoin payment system to merchants and retailers. The former Mt-Gox the largest bitcoin trader is located in Japan.
3. South Korea - the second asia's largest bitcoin trader where the Kraken was located.
4. India, Indonesia , Russia, Philippines, are among other countries that engage in bitcoin trading and mining.
