Monero interest seems coming from offshore countries

Data from google trends.
As pointed out here it could be VPN locations. But on an other side we also can see tax heavens who's may struggling over coming regulations.
What if we target this userbase ?
Yeah heavy tax heavens, it could be VPN locations. But honestly, I never seen a Virgin Island VPN tho or that could be very costly in hosting bills 🤔
This might be non trivial to figure out. You’d need to compile a list of VPN IP ranges or ASNs and then look at average traffic rates for those locations to then account for the baseline.
This is gonna get hairy pretty quickly jsyk - even whois records are questionable in validity sometimes so you might be poisoning your own data
Heh google trends won't allow you to get this valuable data :)
