Can you give some estimates about how much crypto is "used" in the third world, or at least give some sources for this statement?


I have no estimates, only my experience from visiting these countries, but I found an article regarding Georgia [1].

But it's pretty widespread, Navalny, the main Putin opponent uses crypto as the main source of donations since all his accounts were frozen, Ukrainian army accepts donations in crypto, Belarus opposition uses crypto, hundreds of thousands of Russians used crypto to move their savings out of Russia, Iranians, Chinese and Venezuelans use it a lot too.
