Bitcoin Forum

Dear Forum members,

I am a postgraduate student researching the adoption of virtual currencies.

I have compiled a short survey for forum members at the following link:

    Bitcoin forum Survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Bitcoin_forum)

This questionnaire is conducted purely for academic purposes, answers are in complete confidence, and no personal information will be published, or be used for any other purpose.

After the survey is completed you will be able to view the results.

Thank you for participating in this educational survey on virtual currencies. Your feedback is very important for my research.

John

Okay I've completed the survey without leaving any information about myself. The survey is short and takes less than two minute to complete (dependent on ones reading speed). Finally something different for a change. If you need any more information or help with anything feel free to ask.

done.
took longer than I expected. hope that helps.

Done.

Left my email address.

Done.
I hope all of the responses help you.

Thank you to everyone for your time in arranging the survey.  :)

Your participation is crucial in our research and hopefully the results will add to a better understanding of virtual currencies.

Done and thanks for making the results available. Would be interesting to see it once more members have completed the survey.

can someone give me a link to the result?
want to see it again but I already closed mine...

EDIT
nvm. you can just do it again without answering the questions.

Hi Jhanzo

I think if you launch the survey again and scroll through without answering questions you can get to see the results again.

Great survey ! Good seeing the results

Excellent Survey. Hope the info helps you.

Very good questions in there mate. Answered, and I wish for good luck.

Edit: you could also post on reddit.com/r/bitcoin

Ok, Done... I like the layout and the ease of use... It was a good call to use SurveyMonkey.  ;D Of all the questions this is the question most people miss, when they do these

survey's --->   Q14 " In your view if a company sells goods the virtual currency price should be: "

From the results so far, it seems as though Bitcoin users are a lot of American Men in their 30's working in IT.  ;D ;D ;D ;D Good luck with the survey and please post the final

results in this thread, when it's done.  If you want, you could place a link to this survey on BitBiz.io too.  ;)

Hello and thanks for taking interest in our world. I have just completed the survey. I encourage the other members of this forum to spend 5 minutes on this. This is another way of reaching the outside world.

If you need anything else feel free to ask!
Cheers!

Filled the survey
Good luck in your college man :)

Hi Gio.  Thanks very much for the recommendation.  I have posted the survey on the Bitcoin section of Reddit.

Hi Kprawn,

I appreciate your feedback.

I have taken up your recommendation and posted the survey on BitBiz.

Your comment on the demographics is amusing  :)

 Done took me less than 5 min

Best Regards to you

I just finished the survey, very interesting question and i wish you good luck in your researching.
What i was shocking a bit was the result at the Q3
What is your gender? Answered: 122 (96.72% Male & 3.28% female)

Done the survey, It's good to see a lot of 18-24 yo of bitcoin users

I think you should include and <Younger than 18. There are many geeks that are under 18 (even some successful CEO at 15), don't discriminate them.

Done with it Thanks  ;D

Hi prodigy8,

You make a valid point that the under 18s should be taken into account. This survey question is certified by the survey platform I am using and gives no options for under 18.  I will ask them why they don't give an option of under 18.  I may change the question to incorporate this age group if I can figure out how to do so without interfering with the existing results.

Ok then just add a blank field like other and saying it: "Other: ____ " by putting the user manual their age. This should be the only way to solve.

The biggest problem with this is that you are not allowed legally to use exchanges to trade your bitcoins under 18 right? I would be reclutant to disclose my age if I was in this group.

You can not exchange maybe but you can use it, and earn in different ways, so that will not be a problem.

I wonder how many of those replies are truthful  ::)
You might like this thread - Do girls use Bitcoin? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=261598.0;topicseen)

Well i think the replies are truthful, it's reasonable.
I don't think any Male would declare itself as female in survey lol.
Yeah i saw that thread and we should accept that girls use bitcoin but the number is small.

I think that if we expect mainstream adoption of Bitcoin, that is all sexes and all ages, using and storing bitcoin has to be made seamless.

For example this morning I downloaded the bootstrap.dat file from bitcoin.org (https://bitcoin.org/bin/block-chain/) to my new Bitcoin Core wallet to help speed up synchronization and found it's over a year old and dated 24th August 2014 !  This is certainly not seamless technology!  :)

Thanks for making the survey results available to us...can you post the link or details on this forum when they are available?

I'll participate in your survey because you'll make the results available to us.

I took your survey. Good luck with your research.

I completed this survey
I hope you will do well with your research

Thanks everyone that has assisted with the Research Survey.

I am happy to report responses have so far reached 152, which is slowly climbing towards a good sample size.  :)

Ideally I need about 385 responses to make the survey sample size statistically significant, so if you haven't yet completed the survey you can find it here:

Thanks

Surprised to see Ripple isn't the best known virtual currency!  LOL

Hi Ripple,

Though each digital currency has it's own merits, I guess it's more useful for wider international adoption to have a single best known brand, like Bitcoin, while the marketplace has still to become mainstream. Who knows for certain how the market will develop in future?
