⚡️🇫🇷 NEW - This map tracks physical assaults related to cryptocurrencies that have targeted French citizens... and the total has already reached 60 cases. Burglaries, false imprisonment, kidnappings, violence, or attempted extortion: behind each marker lies a case in which crypto holders, their loved ones, or people connected to the industry were reportedly targeted. While these attacks were frequent at the beginning of the year, they have slowed significantly, thanks in particular to numerous arrests, the police’s meticulous investigative work, and crypto holders who are increasingly well-prepared.

⚡️🔎 NEW - After 17 years, Bitcoin is reportedly still held by only about 4.5 to 6% of the world’s population. Estimates presented by Willy Woo put the number of holders at around 370 to 500 million. In absolute terms, India would lead the way with about 68 million holders, ahead of the United States with 50 million and China with 33 million. But the ranking changes completely when looking at the proportion of the population: 17% in Vietnam, 16% in the United Arab Emirates, 15% in Argentina, and 14% in the United States, the Philippines, and Turkey. These figures should, however, be treated as estimates, since one person can obviously own multiple wallets, while an exchange may consolidate the BTC of millions of customers into just a few addresses.
