There is a thread about why there seems to be a lack of women in the crypto world but it seems there are quite a few we just do not know about it. Maybe they are quiet about it and hodl. Maybe they know something we don't Grin

I am pleased that there are so many women. Anyone is welcome and the more the better.

What do you think?

I am very proud of Americans even though previously the government in their country officially banned the use of bitcoin or other cryptocurrency to invest but that did not make them stop adopting bitcoin, even now more cryptocurrency users in America than last year I hope President Donald Trump to lift the ban cryptocurrency.

WTF shit are you talking here? You proud america is placing tighter and tighter restrictions under the guise of protecting us when really they want tax money and a piece of the actualy. You don't know wtf you talking about and bitcoin is not banned in USA. Stop smoking through your sweat socks there buddy.

This news is not surprising, we know the reason why rising the nunmber of american own crypto, simply to understand and explain that happen, americans know the future of the new technology meaning crypto is part of new technology so nothing doubt american people continue to patronage crypto for their future.

In that case, bitcoin well be able to be more famous all over the world. It's a big change in just one year. It really clear now that Bitcoin is not only for men but also for women as well. The government may no longer think of banning cryptos this time and yet we are already in the mainstream which is bitcoin having a massive adaption. I hope all countries are like this showing support to Bitcoin and it will boost the Bitcoin price soon.

You're right because in other for cryptocurrencies (especially bitcoin) to the mainstream of payment more people have to own some portion of crypto and with the research I did almost 7 million Americans now own crypto all because of the benefit (upcoming halving) and ease of making payment through cryptocurrency.

What kind of research did you do to claim that 7 million Americans own crypto and in that you are claiming that they are holding that in regard to the upcoming halving and that means all of them are holding bitcoin, if you could publish your studies everyone could see that and have a clarity rather than closed studies and fictions of imagination Tongue

. For bitcoin to become a mainstream payment there is a lot of development needed and if majority of the merchants starts accepting bitcoin then you will see major adoption as a mode of payment .

I am not surprised at all about this news, I think it's not anything special to this platform, here this news is very much emphasis on the participation of the American people, you should know that the major population has not come from the USA, it's China and India, it's true that the USA citizen may have more money than Indian people, but I think American people can't only develop this platform alone, but I appreciate this rising popularity regarding Bitcoin and cryptocurrency around the first world country, this also impressive that The major portion of women are getting involved in this platform because they have much more time and money.

This is a good development which means that many women who understand cryptocurrency and already have cryptocurrency can at least show that the demand from the public is increasing and can provide many benefits to the price of cryptocurrency, hopefully as soon as there is information that America can accept cryptocurrency as a legitimate payment.

You should all think how many people who were asked to participate in the survey declined because they did not know what a cryptocurrency is. This would be my reaction if they asked me to participate in a survey. I'd say ok fine and they'd say it's about my opinion about chemo in treatment of children with melanoma. I'd be like Shocked

no thank you I don't have an opinion really.

Those who participated know a lot about crypto. Those who did not declined to take the survey.

We also have to consider those who decline because they want more privacy and they don’t want to expose themselves as a crypto hodler. Well, the numbers is easy to say but its hard to believe that they surveyed for 13 million women, maybe there’s an online consensus about this one but its good to know that more people shows interest about cryptocurrency.

Both of you are correct. Bitcoiners are a specific group of people who value privacy. There's also a factor of the government and taxation each of us has to consider. Most people don't want to disclose their bitcoin holdings because some bitcoiners became targets of home invasions and threats. People see bitcoin holders as easy targets because they have all the money at home and it's harder to track and easier to carry than a bag of cash or jewelry. If I were asked about bitcoin in the street I wouldn't want to tell them too much because you never know who's going to watch these things. Maybe that junkie who lives one block from you and sees you walking to work every day. Now he'll know when you're not at home and that you're saving up in bitcoin.

This is a welcome development to both bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency community. But I think is kind of development is happening all over the world even down here in my country many people are now joining the cryptocurrency revolution. Hopefully, by the end of the year 2020, the people using cryptocurrency will reach two billion.

It's simply unrealistic; according to a survey of 2,068 participants commissioned by Finder. That means roughly 36.5 million Americans own some form of crypto.
2068 participants don't represent 36.5 million Americans, how absurd, this study does not make sense.
If the study report how much Americans registered on some major exchanges in the U.S like coinbase, gemini, bitstamp etc, it would be more rational to conclude how much people involved and have invested in crypto.

Exactly, something in this study doesn't seem to be right. Numbers are strange, exaggerated and don't fit although at first glance the results look nice. But somehow I don't think that the sample and method were correct and therefor this survey isn't reliable.

The fact that the number of people who at least own a cryptocurrency in the United States has doubled, is a very positive signal for cryptocurrencies, 36 million people already represent a very strong market, because it is a population larger than that existing in In many countries, what is needed is to organize that market, to unify it if it can be said in some way and to ensure that these people can have a strong impact on the economy using cryptocurrencies in everyday life.

I think this is normal since, with a lot of technologies out there and the internet being mainstream, bitcoin will always be introduced to anyone increasing the awareness of them about these currencies. Though there are a lot of them there are still those big population that don't want any part of this and they even call crypto currencies scam.

Americans who own a cryptocurrency has almost doubled from 7.95% in 2018 to 14.4% in 2019, an increase of 81% in one year,
according to a new survey. That means roughly 36.5 million Americans own some form of crypto.

In addition, the survey by Finder said,

Quote

While an increase of people with a cryptocurrency is positive for the industry,
the vast majority of Americans are not investing in digital currencies.

Since US regulations make it more difficult for citizens to participate in crypto investments the growth shows an underlying interest.
If regulations loosen up in the coming year this could spur growth for the global crypto market.

What do you think?

I think the Americans is already adjusting in the bitcoin technology, we know that the bitcoin technology is already getting popular in the past years and a lot of country was already recognized it and make it as one of their assets. The country japan already started using it as a money and you could pay using bitcoin in a store in Japan. The Americans, in my opinion, is starting to use bitcoin as the bitcoin community was already starting to adjust in the technology for sure the bitcoin community will continue to get big. Male American in my opinions are more on a business-oriented person and as soon as money is a concern they will be interested in a good investment like bitcoin.

This is evident that American interest in Cryptocurrency is very high, we know that the American government does not allow concessions to its people to play Cryptocurrency, but the growth of Cryptocurrency users in America has actually increased.
I hope the American Government sees this, and can provide leeway to Cryptocurrency there. And I am optimistic that America will have a big impact on the development of Cryptocurrency globally.

81% in a year is a pretty big change. We know that regulations limit some crypto transactions in the US. However, this cannot prevent US society from learning and understanding crypto. Because understanding cryptocurrency deeper will be more fun.

Do some basic math. If that were true, and knowing that USA holders are only a small percentage of total holders (no one knows for sure due to the global aspect of blockchain tech), that means that the "average" world wide holder only holds a dismally small percentage of a BTC. Those of us that have been around for many years then hold the average of thousands of collectors. Everybody has to start on their BTC journey somewhere, but the majority of holders are not going to get all "excited" about holding 0.001 BTC.

At roughly 18,000,000 BTC mined at the current time, if each holder held 0.333 BTC there could only be 54,000,000 holders world wide. Math doesn't lie. Whales and old time holders would not even bend down and pick up 0.333 BTC (metaphor - like seeing a penny laying on the ground while walking by). In reality .333 is over 3K so YES you would pick that up every time. My point was a whale isn't going to spend much thought about only .333 BTC at all.

I totally agree with what you affirm that by clearly defining the issue of regulations the growth of participation and investments will be high, however, the people of the government know it and feel the pressure because on the one hand they observe that cryptocurrencies are growing and on the other hand, they know that legislation favorable to cryptocurrencies will weaken the dollar, in fact many investors are looking for cryptocurrency projects.
