What’s Going On with Bitcoin in Southeast Asia?
summary
Southeast Asia hosts 673 million people with roughly 70% underbanked and six of 11 countries piloting CBDCs; weak currencies and repeated double‑digit inflation drive risky local investing. Peer‑to‑peer markets and mining (hydro and geothermal sites in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia) grow alongside community hubs: 30+ meetup organizers, 400+ merchants onboarded, and 12 million Indonesians own Bitcoin. Fedi builds federation tools and app mods that let minors stack via mobile money and support local P2P flows.
