How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value for practical bitcoin acceptance among visible merchants, service providers and local bitcoin circular economies. 100 would mean very broad, current and everyday merchant acceptance; 0 means no identifiable or practically blocked acceptance.

The calculation combines five blocks: visible merchant and community density counts for 78%, general crypto use 8%, legal permissibility 6%, usable regulation 4%, and physical bitcoin access as a small plausibility component 4%.

The core remains the actual number and density of visible acceptance points. High crypto adoption alone is not enough for a strong rating if few shops, restaurants, service providers or local bitcoin communities are visible in everyday use.

Broad bans, payment bans, banking bans or very weak legal status create hard caps. A country cannot rank well only because trading volume is high if bitcoin payments in ordinary commerce are legally or practically constrained.

For countries and territories without complete direct coverage, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values. They are checked against BTC Map, OpenStreetMap payment tags, verified entries, known local bitcoin circular economies, regional peers and the existing Nomadino bitcoin indicators.

Crypto adoption, crypto regulation, legal status, bitcoin cash access, crypto taxation, banking quality and fintech quality are not directly counted as separate targets. These topics have their own indicators and are used here only as plausibility support.

The score equals the raw value. A higher raw value therefore improves the ranking.
