Topic: Survey on Bitcoin ownership - page 2. (Read 301 times)

The geezer was a computer repair person.

He had a raspberry pi in the corner of his workshop staking or mining or whatever and we got talking.

I mention it pretty often. I find it a bit weird that someone would assume you were a trillionaire and murder you just for talking about it.

It won't reflect any reality, because you ask people directly interested with collecting crypto.
The idea of making google sheets, seems a lot better, but it would have to be slightly convoluted.
Make it about financial system consciousness and spread it as a economy science project on places like redit, facbook etc.
This way, your sample group could be much broader and the study itself could get recognised, even scientifically.

Italian Bob looks like a DOGE guy to me.
You just gave yourself a good example how pointless such survey is in this place.
We can invent whatever data we like, that will only hide the real picture...
However If it somehow helps you, central EU here, I personally know only one person that hodls.

I am 40 yrs of age and started to seek new investment and i stumble on The Crypto Lark's Channel then that is the start of my bitcoin journey... Earlier this year, at first, I really don't know what this crypto space is... I watched the video of Lark explaining why btc made a drop of $4 around the month of April. I forgot the title of the episode but he mentioned there to "accumulate more btc for the future", then i asked to myself: "Why would anyone will do that?", "Do these coins out of thin air really has value? or "People are so stupid believing something will replace money (I'm referring to fiat)" that 3rd question leaves me with a doubt on how money in the 1st place created, used and eventually abused... fast forward... now that i learned from what causes the inflation and the inevitable economic crisis, this fiat system must be abolished, crush, murder, any synonyms to these word will do.

Now to answer the survey, I am very honest to the best of my knowledge that in my province bukidnon (place in Mindanao) in the Philippines I am the only hodler of BTC as far as i know (within my community). My parents, siblings and relatives, do not believe me when i told them that btc will be the accepted global currency in the future. Even though the implementation of the regulation on bitcoin is still far-fetched but I do believe that the blockchain technology (hence giving birth to bitcoin) is the most transparent innovation there is.

P.S. In my community, I continuously ranting on this bitcoin and how to awake people of what's going on in the current financial industry. If they knew more about the system maybe, they will think this as a conspiracy theory but the main thing is, my continuous ranting will create curiosity and never to mention that's how I started to awake.

Live life with Bitcoin!

Can you please quantify this? 3 out of?
And please don't quote my entire post.


Pure curiosity, how did you met this guy/girl or how did this encounter happen? Of course, if it's not something way to personal.
I never encountered somebody who has cryptos by chance and to be honest I would pretty much keep it a secret from a stranger. I also avoid those so-called bitcoin conferences, I don't really feel comfortable going to one.

I am from Argentina, I and three of my friends have Bitcoin, DASH, EOS. I hope this helps you

Only one of my relatives holds cryptocurrency and that only because I have introduced him to this revolution a few years ago. Most of the people here don't even know what Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are... I won't specify my region, but I think most people are too "busy" with their mundane lives and too lazy to even research about a worldwide shift in how we send and receive payments. The right word for this would be ignorance. However I know local communities that do have a decent number of crypto enthusiasts. So in conclusion if you ask the man on the street about cryptocurrencies he is not able to tell you a thing about them. You need to go very specific to find someone who knows, maybe luckily someone who actually owns Bitcoin.

In all my years of wandering around the UK I have only met one other real person who had any BTC or mentioned it who wasn't infected by me.

These surveys about 20% of Turks overflowing with BTC are a fucking joke and I'm amazed they had the balls/shamelessness to publish them. For somewhere like Turkey 0.2% feels more like it.

DON'T quote the entire message when responding.

Of course, this is not about which of the forum members own bitcoin, as I supposed you all should hodl some coin, even if only a few satoshis.

The idea for the survey comes from the never-ending news that 10-20% of the people in a country are holding coins.
As I truly believe those numbers are at least overhypermega inflated, I tried to picture a survey that would shed some light on a larger base, even if it is a little biased since the starting point is obvious a holder.
Dunno if it will be effective if this topic will even get some traction in the first place, but hey, worth a shot.

So, what I look, simply post what you know of crypto ownership in the friends and relatives circle and if it's not a secret the region you live.

Example:
2 our of my friends hold some bitcoin or altcoin or 6 out of 12 relatives also hold some coins, I live in Bartovia
But put a bit more spirit in it.

I thought about doing it on google sheets but I really can't stop that from getting abused by somebody bored so..this is it.
I'm seriously curious about those numbers and if the mentioned percentage is reached even when centered around a bitcoin community.

Oh, and please be honest about it.
