1) A government who isn't actively resisting cryptocurrency
2) Most of the population has internet or phone access
3) Has a weak/inflating fiat currency (not necessarily hyper-inflating)
The problem I'm seeing here in the United States is that the US dollar is VERY trusted because of its stability and ease of use.
If I ask my sister for $100 she can transfer it to me via Paypal, cash, check, and even via email if we share the same bank. USD token is incredibly easy to transfer so Americans aren't likely to try a new currency. Merchant adoption in America means spending 3 and a half hours explaining what decentralized currency is, why it's volatile, how to use it safely, what the future's potential is, etc. In other words: there's no NEED for americans to try a new currency so we have to teach them or they wont go out of their way to use one.
Excluding an economic crash the only way Americans will trust Bitcoin Cash is in the event that adoption starts exploding in the areas of the world that actually need the currency.
Additionally the US government doesn't appear to be super friendly to the idea of decentralized currency and have been steadily adding roadblocks on the fiat to crypto on-ramps, like tax rules and KYC requirements. This makes crypto harder to obtain and with the trusted US dollar people aren't as likely to want to try.
And finally, the USD is one of the most traded currencies in the world. It's not the best currency to try to dethrone first.
With my above 3 factors in mind the question is: what area of the world needs decentralized currency the most?
Note: I am continuing to advertise locally. I also want to help organize development in specific areas outside my country.
