Don’t go burning your cash or cutting up your credit cards anytime soon. While awareness of bitcoin and other virtual currencies is on the rise, Americans don’t seem in any hury to actually use them. The WSJ reports that a new survey, from the Conference of State Bank Supervisors and the Massachusetts Division of Banks, found that just over half of those surveyed knew of bitcoin and other currencies, yet just 3% had said they used it.
