Earlier this week I stumbled upon a blog post, where Finnish self-credited "blockchain expert" made a claim that during the last year, term blockchain has passed bitcoin in google trends "clearly". I did not pay attention to this detail, until my co-worker pointed out the mistake. I was surprised to find out that if you use google trends yourself, you can see totally different story:

Over the years the UK has been an important market for LocalBitcoins, especially back in 2012 when we were founded.

The fastest way to buy Ethereum (ETH) is, oddly enough, to first buy Bitcoins and then to convert it to Ethereum. Don’t lose out waiting several days for an international bank transfer, use LocalBitcoins and Shapeshift to make the transaction in less than a day.
TL;DR, how do I do it?
The shorthand version, follow these four steps.

We’re sad to say that due to regulators another region has had to be blocked from LocalBitcoins.
