Not surprising though, because bitcoin has been created in 2009, it is the first cryptocurrency.
When you ask in my country about bitcoin, im sure that you will get answer yes mostly.
Bitcoin popularity is very high, i think it is the most well known crypto in the world, thats why the value of bitcoin is the highest.

This was to happen if it is today or tomorrow. It feels good that Americans are also being aware of the most potential market in the world, the crypto-space. It will create a new plot of the potential investors in the cryptocurrency market, though Americans usually is lack on behind, still now.
I think that it is no surprise after last year's bitcoin rise a the popularity and the number of people that know or at least have heard about bitcoin has risen significantly, not just in the us but in the whole world, and this has lead to the number of people using it rising as well, and i am pretty sure if it was not for the hit that it took from governments after that it would have grown significantly both in price and in terms of investments.
At present, there are many people who know Bitcoin and bed as it is popular in almost all countries but only a few countries accept Bitcoin. However, this sign is a blessing to Bitcoin and hope many countries will accept Bitcoin in the future.
It is possible because the are the most developed country and all the people of this country are very much updated and they always accept the new.
Increasingly popularity of Bitcoin is growing. In the United States, the parcentage what you mentioned is fine is good. As well as USA Bitcoin is growing its popularity in other countries day by day. And investors are encouraged to invest in Bitcoin.
Most Americans have heard and known about Bitcoin. Because here people know that, what economic technology is the necessary for a country's development. Hopefully people from all over the world will know Bitcoin well and will be motivated to invest.
This is good and more so, news is easily spread in America than any other country. Which gives crypto currency and other altcoin to gain more popularity from there.
It is acceptable that a country like United States is well advance in technology and the people are also updated. 80% of them have heard about bitcoin is acceptable. But the main thing is, most of them really don’t know what a bitcoin really is.
This is great. The more spreading of news about crypto will cause great potential to build a vast market worldwide by including more people and thus more opportunities will be found to invest on crypto market
In recent time peoples are crazy to invest on bitcoin because so many people are earning profit from bitcoin. We all know bitcoin supply is limited but its demand is too much high. That’s why its price rising.
This is why crypto continues to grow. More and more people see, look and learn about crypto which increases its market value throughout the world. This shows that crypto would not die, at least for now. It is controlled by the users, and the more users, the more growth it can show.
This survey actually shows us a mixed reaction of people towards cryptocurrency. Positivity and negativity of Bitcoin totally depend on the people who are using it. I hope soon people realize the power of this technology and take it positively.
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.

Not a secret if america is the largest cryptocurrency community followed by china.
I think there are some group of american that rule the crypto movement, and they know what will happen next.
There was a significant growth in the attention towards Crypto industry in last few years. However, to be specific, the year 2017 was the year when Bitcoin and blockchain technology went mainstream. Thus, it has the potential for exponential growth in the coming years. We will be able to see Bitcoin accepted here boards hanging in most of the corners around the world in next 5 to 10 years from now.
It's great that so many people have claimed to have heard of bitcoin or at least cryptocurrency. It would be interested to give a survey to countries a little less developed to see if the idea has been floating around at all there. It's interesting how many of the younger generation claimed that they would be willing to switch their USD currency into crypto. Also, it would be interesting to give a survey that asks people if they are familiar with how exactly the system works.
Good for America people because they now have heard about Bitcoin and I hope this number will be increasing day by day and follow by people from other countries as well. I think the American will accept bitcoin as their payment for their living needs.
I think this survey proves how popular Bitcoin as a virtual currency in the United States. But in general, other countries except the United States are a little bit lagging behind this popularity of Bitcoin.
Americans are always one step ahead in everything and specially whatever new comes they always welcome it and thats why they are number one.
