Topic: New Survey Shows 80% Of Americans Have Heard Of Bitcoin - page 4. (Read 2840 times)
The American community is law-abiding. The opinion of regulators is very important for them. Moreover, now the media does not say anything good about cryptocurrencies. Therefore, most americans are negatively disposed towards cryptocurrencies.
A few years ago, bitcoin was a niche tech toy for nerds. Today, bitcoin has grown to become a household name.
The vast majority of people in the developed world have heard of bitcoin. That idea was reinforced this past week with the release of a survey from YouGov.
That survey indicated that 79% of Americans have heard of bitcoin. Additionally, nearly half of millennials wish to invest in bitcoin.
The online survey collected information from 2 million respondents across the United States. You can view the full study here. YouGov is an international online-based market research company headquartered in London.
Some of the most interesting facts gathered from the survey include:
- 79% of Americans are familiar with at least one kind of cryptocurrency
- 71% of Americans have heard of bitcoin
-The next-leading cryptocurrency is Ether/Ethereum, with 13% of Americans claiming they’ve heard of it
- Men are significantly more likely than women to report hearing about a cryptocurrency: 27% of women claim
they have not heard of any cryptocurrency, while 16% of men chose the same answer
- Litecoin was the third most recognizable cryptocurrency, with 18% of men reportedly knowing about Litecoin and 5% of women
- Despite the widespread acknowledgement of bitcoin, few respondents were directly involved with the world’s largest cryptocurrency; of those who had heard of bitcoin, 87% have had no interaction with it, which means they haven’t bought, sold, or mined bitcoin
- Approximately half (49%) of respondents said they were “Glad I didn’t buy bitcoin earlier, and I don’t plan to buy it”; 15%, meanwhile, wished they “had bought bitcoin earlier, but I feel like it’s too late now”
Relatively few people have any immediate plans to buy bitcoin, according to the survey, despite the fact that over one third (36%) of respondents believe cryptocurrency will become widely accepted
- Cryptocurrencies continue to have a stigma associated with illegal transactions, with 25% of respondents claiming that they believe most cryptocurrency transactions are for illegal purposes; an additional 19% said cryptocurrencies were used equally for legal and illegal purposes, with 17% reporting that cryptocurrencies were used more for legal than illegal purposes
- Among millennials, approximately half are interested in cryptocurrency: 48% reported being interested in cryptocurrency, with 50% claiming they were not interested
- A narrow majority of respondents (57%) said they would not be interested in converting into crypto away from the US Dollar, with one third (36%) claiming they would be interested in converting the majority of their funds to cryptocurrency
Overall, this study provides one of the best views of public opinion towards cryptocurrency. With 2 million respondents, the YouGov survey was bigger than most other crypto surveys to date. You can take the survey results in an optimistic or pessimistic way. Optimists will point to the fact that 36% of respondents would be interested in switching their funds to crypto, for example, while pessimists will mention that 50% of respondents had no interest in cryptocurrency.
It’s also important to note that YouGov is an online data analytics company. That means the results are inevitably skewed towards representing people who are already on the internet. 79% of respondents reported knowing about bitcoin, for example, but those respondents are all connected to the internet. If we were to take a more representative study of America as a whole, it seems unlikely that 4 in 5 would have heard of bitcoin.
While the crypto landscape changes, we’re still a long ways away from widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies as a unit of account. This survey, however, shows that the public is interested in crypto – or at least aware of it.

After large jumps and falls at the beginning of the week, the rate more or less stabilized. At the same time, it still keeps the growth trend, and it is very pleasing. I hope wave is still long.

Wow, that's a pretty interesting fact. While 71% of Americans have heard about Bitcoin, only 13% of them have used Bitcoin in some sort of form. Would be nice to hear why they haven't used it.
- Despite the widespread acknowledgement of bitcoin, few respondents were directly involved with the world’s largest cryptocurrency; of those who had heard of bitcoin, 87% have had no interaction with it, which means they haven’t bought, sold, or mined bitcoin

Everybody has heard about it,sure, But that's about it. I have asked so many people if they know what bitcoin is,and they are like yessss! and when you ask them to explain what they know,they look at you with their dumb faces!

of course it's very good, because the more people who know about bitcoin will have a positive impact, because with more and more people who know it will open up big opportunities for many people to buy bitcoin and invest.
Organize the same survey in other countries, especially in the states of the African continent, and you will get another result. less than 5-8% of people will say they have heard of the crypto.
Hearing about bitcoin and having knowledge about it is not the same thing. People hear stuffs, and eventually forgets about it or ends up just knowing the "word" and nothing else about it. Thus they do not have enough knowledge about what they "heard". The same thing goes for the case of bitcoin. They heard about bitcoin a lot, but does not know anything about it. Thus, no interest has been generated. Moreover, they got to know about bitcoin through the media which usually spreads negative news through exaggeration which is one of the reason why most people know about bitcoin but is afraid/ignoring its potential.
I always thought that per the development of USA, the percentage of people who have heard of bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general are more than 90%. I guess I'm wrong but what it means is that a lot needs to be done to increase the statistic of cryptocurrency awareness.

Each country has its own statistics about people who have heard about bitcoin. In my country, too, many people have heard about it, but most of them do not even know what it was created for and are very skeptical about it. I hope that in time they will change their minds.
it would be better if 80% of people will use Bitcoin as an investment tool or as a mean of payment in everyday life.
80% of americans have heard about it, just like probably 99% of americans have heard about the negative effects of being obese and yet few do anything about it.
In time everybody will switch to Bitcoin, just like those obese people will be forced to diet when they find out they're about to have a heart attack.

Know doesn't mean understand. Yes, after bitcoin crossed 1000 $ point it became more mentioned in the mass media and normally a lot of people generally heard the word 'bitcoin' or/and 'crypto currencies', but I believe that this know lage is still the end for many of people. They are not interested or simply do not understand how everything works here and simply continue to count everyone who has a business with crypto as nerds.
More and more people know about bitcoin every day. Unfortunately, not all people are positive about him, but the fact that they at least imagine what he is - is already good.

According to time people are getting know about bitcoin. And they are coming towards the crypto market to making an investment. And it's a good thing now people are being aware of this thing and be sure after a certain time later these people will make good profit with the use of cryptocurrency.
It's good that more and more people are at least just familiar with the cryptocurrency and know about what it is. And there is nothing wrong with the fact that they do not invest in bitcoin yet. Over time, they do, I'm sure.
It's great that so many people in America have heard about cryptocurrency. In my country, things are quite different, most people do not even imagine the existence of cryptocurrency. But I hope that over time this trend will improve and people will get more information about modern technologies.
Yes, they heard about it, but no one invested their money in it, so I can say that cryptovalts still have great potential for growth
I am surprised seeing the stats, I was expecting it to be on the higher side. I would like same trend in developing countries.
This data did not prove anything. Although 80% of people may have heard of Bitcoin, I am sure that 90% of them just heard but they have not really used Bitcoin once. We need not only heard of Bitcoin, but more people are using it.
But in order for more people to use Bitcoin, Bitcoin needs to optimize a lot of things, the transaction speed needs to be accelerated, and the handling fee needs to be lower.

I think that if you survey people all over the world, the statistics will be high too, because every day the market for cryptocurrency and Bitcoin attracts more and more people
