A poll conducted by Gallup and Wells Fargo revealed that nearly three-quarters of the US investors think that bitcoin is a "very risky" investment.
The week-long study which surveyed nearly 2,000 adults in the country who have invested either in retirement savings account or through any other account unveiled that only two percent currently own bitcoin, while more than 70 percent "have no interest in ever buying bitcoin."

I won't bother to doubt the report because even on the forum, the general feeling is that cryto currency investment is risky based on the advise to newbies to only invest what they intend not to use long term or an about they are prepared to lose but the 'very risky' part is where I would likely express displeasure because despite the risky nature of crypto, it has always compensated in for it in terms of returns within the specified period of time one is looking to invest that no other investment could turn out. However, reading the article, it shows that mainly the old and women have not heard about bitcoin which I would conclude that old also would be responsible for larger part of the people that claim its 'very risky' as its going to be difficult for crypto to appeal to the seniors as its very against whatever they have come to believe about investment all their lives.
