Topic: Academic research about cryptocurrency adoption (Read 127 times)
Thank you for your input. I may do that after getting the first early results and may reshape some parts of the survey with some different dimensions due to some feedback I've been getting.
Hey, I think it's cool that you do such a research and I would be interested to see its results. I recently looked at the results of one of some similar research and it was quite impressive (ING_International_Survey). In general, I think that nothing prevents people from being at the same time both "for money" and "for technology". This is a win-win situation. The main thing is that people are increasingly supporting real shit, including scam. It's not difficult and with a reasonable approach this will not reduce the possible profit and at the same time it's certainly useful for the ecosystem 
And let me suggest one possible improvement of the thread. If you would like this thread to be more alive here, maybe you should shorten the main text a little and/or perhaps change the title to an interrogative. In the title there can already be one of the main questions from your questionnaire, in one or the other way

Hi everyone, I’m part of a research team at the University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL) and we are currently doing a research about the adoption determinants of cryptocurrencies.
Due to the lack of academic research in this area and in the cryptocurrency and blockchain areas overall, this topic was chosen for my Master’s degree thesis and for a couple of scientific papers.
The goal of this research is to understand what drives people to use cryptocurrencies and it goes a lot beyond of the “I’m here for the money” or “I’m here for the technology”.
For this, it was created a questionnaire with Likert type scale questions addressing different dimensions. These dimensions will then be used to construct a model, based on the traditional Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed in 1989, and some others developed afterwards, but with more dimensions and adapted to the cryptocurrencies ecosystem. Then it will be done some data analysis and compilation of results, there will be a lot more but I won’t complicate.
It takes on average 3 minutes to answer (5 min maximum). Your input is really important for this research and to help us and other researchers to boost academic knowledge in this area.
After analysing and publishing the thesis and papers I will post here again with infographics and the most important conclusions of the study.
We believe that after knowing in detail what drives the population to cryptocurrencies adoption a door will be open to help knowing how this ecosystem should develop in the future.
Here is the link for the questionnaire https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cryptocurrencies_usage
Thank you all for your participation!
Tl;dr: An academic research team needs your help to answer a questionnaire about adoption determinants of cryptocurrencies that will help boost knowledge in this area. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cryptocurrencies_usage
