Interesting survey, hopefully it helps you in your studies. Remember, Bitcoin is here to stay

Interesting survey... what I am more interested in, is this :

1. How many MBA students are involved with Bitcoin in your campus?
2. Was this thesis given to you by your lecturer or did you chose it yourself?
3. How does Bitcoin fit into your curriculum? Is there study material about Bitcoin or do you use online resources for research?

Give us a bit of background about yourself and what your future goal will be for Bitcoin or Crypto currencies. Give a little and take a lot...

Survey finished.

I showed a clear online wallet bias. I think that it is the option to go with most non-tech users.

thank you for your time.

I´m a bitcoin enthusiast from 2013.  I´m doing my internship in a Bitcoin startup (my thesis will never be biased on my work)

the thesis was my personal choice and my lecturer was also excited to supervise me about Bitcoin

Im planning for a PhD in Bitcoin (didn't decided about the topic yet) only after finishing my thesis i hope i will have a good topic to do

Finished as well.  Interesting survey.  Please publish your results, it would be interesting to see them for most of us.

I also am happy to see increased increased academic interest in Bitcoin.  There would seem to be HUGE areas for further research.

I've just completed your survey. I would also like to remind everyone that if you lose Bitcoins on a online service then it is your own fault. If you do not own the private keys, then the coins are not yours. I've never lost anything over the years (I think) and the only problematic thing would be a direct hack of my system. However, I do hope that the developers will either integrate better security options or that hardware wallets become cheaper.

well it is a currency and it has value. so as long as it is worth something in fiat and it is being traded and used, you should keep it as safe as possible.
doesn't matter how much the demand is, the hackers and scammers are always at work!

I think that people do not realize that Bitcoin is very valuable until you lose it. Honestly, who would keep a lot of $ on a online service if it could get stolen easily? Offline options are the best for Bitcoins that you do not need at the moment, and a hardware wallet if you do.

Quick questions
How expansive wallet hardware are?
Im thinking of getting one for my own safety purposes

==================
Anyway, i just did the survey hope this helps you on your thesis

I will do this later, im at work right now and don't wanna get caught slacking off while I should be dealing with excel spreadsheets lol. My break is too short to o the survey so I will do it at home. But as far as keeping your bitcoins safe im a good ol paranoid and only trust Bitcoin Core + linux.

hardware wallets are getting cheaper and secure nowadays .

AFAIK Ledger HW.1 is the cheapest  for 18.00 €  (www.ledgerwallet.com).


thank you for answering the survey.
