Hello, I`m a fan on bitcoin research, and i always have an endless curiosity. I propose a research to reveal the bitcoin demographics.
Here is what my research will uncover:-The number of bitcoin users
-The bitcoin distribution / user (how many bitcoins does the average user, the newbie, and the veteral bitcoin user have)
-The demographics (from which country are the most bitcoin users)
-The age distribution (what age class uses the bitcoin the most)
-How did people learned about bitcoin (browsing the net? from friends? or in other words what is the best medium to advertise bitcoin)
-What do people expect from bitcoin in the future (to the moon or commons tragedy)
-Would they replace their fiat with bitcoin (how attached are people to their fiat money)
-And much more
■ The research will only focus on existing members, so non-bitcoin users won't be asked. The research will be in a form of a survey but it will not target forum users, i want to discover the other part of the bitcoin audience, not just the people that use this forum.
■ The research will be in a form of a survey, that will be advertised on all bitcoin related sites starting from faucets to mining, to gambling and so on, to reach out to as many people as possible.
■ The research will cost about 2-3 bitcoin, if we want to target a statistically significant portion, with 3 bitcoin i think we will have enough funds to advertise it to 1 - 1.5 million people.
■ This research will be very transparent, every deposit into the advertising accounts will be listed here, every satoshi will be accounted, so you don't have to worry about me cheating. Also the funds will be held in an escrow account, until i will need them to advertise the survey.
■ I will only need 2% commission from the funds as a service fee to me, and the escrow person can also get 2% commission for his services. Thus we get 4% commission in total, and 96% will go to fund the research
So first and foremost, is any escrow person here that would like to participate in this project? If yes then create a bitcoin address where the funds will be sent. You get 2% commission of this project funds so please volunteer!
