By early 2025, over 560 million people worldwide have dipped their toes in crypto waters. Thatâs a Netflix bingeâs worth of humanity, but cooler. Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia-places where banks often ghost you-are frontrunners here, using crypto to patch holes in their money game. Folks arenât just hoarding digital coins anymore; they want to spend âem like cash (only less bulky and significantly cooler). Itâs about convenience, control, and saying âno thanksâ to middlemen who charge you arm and leg fees. Suddenly, bitcoin is less about moonshots and more about buying sneakers without awkward currency exchanges.
