Title: Poll: Bitcoin Demographics Highest Education Level Post by: abercrombie on July 19, 2014, 04:05:33 PM Just wanted to see how a mostly Western audience compared to BTC-e (China) survey conducted in 2013. I'm going to add "trade school" and "undergrad or some college" to the list.
National average is 27% for those holding a university degree. Approximate BTC-e China results for highest level of education out of 44k participants: 75% University Degree 16% Masters Degree 03% PhD or higher 07% High School 02% Middle School Title: Re: Poll: Bitcoin Demographics Highest Education Level Post by: EchoZulu on July 20, 2014, 09:13:51 PM I would answer 'High School' but I can't figure out how to vote in the poll.
I'll let the reader decide whether I'm joking or not.

I'll let the reader decide whether I'm joking or not. you can't vote, you need more activity points. Newbies can't vote.

this pattern follows the guassian distribution well, except the bottom one Title: Re: Poll: Bitcoin Demographics Highest Education Level Post by: Swordsoffreedom on July 23, 2014, 12:32:55 AM So far it looks similar to the standard education curve
Undergrad and University levels right now take the list and then some early adopters in Middle and High School who know a lot about technology It will be interesting to see how this chart fills out. (wonder if a polytechnic is some college or a trade school) Title: Re: Poll: Bitcoin Demographics Highest Education Level Post by: QuestionAuthority on July 23, 2014, 03:10:55 AM I answered Masters. I have a double major undergrad in Political Science and Sociology from SFSU and an MPA from USF.

Title: Re: Poll: Bitcoin Demographics Highest Education Level Post by: Wesley on July 23, 2014, 09:24:14 AM High school for me. :)
Just a side note; many of the people involved in the dot-com crash had degrees. And the bankers, etc. who were responsible for the 2008 recession also had degrees. So the fact that intelligent people who hold degrees comprise a significant proportion of the Bitcoin community doesn't necessarily mean that Bitcoin as a whole will translate to a success (although it certainly helps). I would answer 'High School' but I can't figure out how to vote in the poll. I'll let the reader decide whether I'm joking or not. you can't vote, you need more activity points. Newbies can't vote. I'm one of the newbies but I just voted. ??? You're a Jr. Member.

I'm not sure how else to explain the lack of sophistication in the abuse which is rife in many threads of this forum! ;D |
