Bitcoin: Global Economic Freedom

Here's a Google Analytics snapshot of the visitors to my blog over the past two weeks:


What's very interesting is that there is a definite correlation between the dead spots on the map and countries identified as "repressed" by the index of economic freedom, as seen on this map, in red:


This might mean that Bitcoin is being hidden from people in economically repressed countries because of what it represents. At first I thought that the dead spots on my blog traffic map were countries with poor Internet access, but that is not always the case. Iran is a good example, where 47% of the population has access to the Internet. Ecuador is another; a country with 3.3 million Facebook subscribers that is also rated as "repressed."

See the 2011 Index of Economic Freedom, here.

Impressively, 144 of the 196 countries in the world have had a client connected to the Bitcoin network in the past 24 hours:
