New Bitcoin Survey - heir of the Simulacrum one

[Bitcoin Survey]

Hi Everybody,

I am an university student and for my organizational behaviour course I need some data about the bitcoin community. There is already the well done survey by Simulacrum that you can find here: http://simulacrum.cc/2013/03/04/the-demographics-of-bitcoin-part-1-updated/ but it's 4 years old, so I'd like to do a new one.

As the Simulacrum survey has been used by journalists/academics I am asking the same questions (plus some new) in order to have comparable results between the year.

After some time I will publish all the results so everybody will be able to use them for free.

So, thanks to everyone who will be so kind to answer, you are helping the whole bitcoin community  

Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeR8CrlR-x-dV8_vBDLq17BHdoJc7EAaL5ban-i7dXx6a32bA/viewform




If you want to help but you already did the survey, please upvote and comment my posts on reddit so the survey will have more answers   Smiley

I take the time to answers your survey and hope that will help you with your course.

I like how numerous "scientists" and students casually drop by here from time to time. Leave us some survey and then disappear forever.

I completed your survey, overall good questions about bitcoin community (I skipped some more intrusive ones).

Also I noticed you left a clue about your whereabouts Op, you are from Italy, right?

[Bitcoin Survey]

Maybe the people disappears but the data remains 

However yes I am italian, how did you get that?

[Chris!]

I went ahead and did the survey, some questions I skipped over (I'd rather not disclose how many bitcoins I have) but I answered the important ones. Haha no we don't all use bitcoins for drugs. People that do CLEARY have no clue about bitcoins. It's a public ledger. Why would I want everyone in the world to be able to see when I bought illicit drugs!? Cash works much better haha but you won't see those statistics on the mainstream media.

[LeGaulois]

Look good. I completed the survey, it was short. I do hope to see the result shared here. I like statistics.
I think you could have asked lot of more questions about bitcoin. I hope you get lot of datas

Pretty good survey,but i don`t like the first question.I earn bitcoins and spend them for USD.
Does this make me a bitcoin user or something else?

Yes you can be described as a bitcoin user

Always happy to help out any form of learning and research... we all know what little we do about crypto from mainstream media and many of the "unsavoury elements" that unfairly stick out for bitcoin continue to persist. If I may comment, certain elements of your questioning also reflect this existing bias.

I hope your demographic sampling also takes note that users on this forum itself belong to certain specific target users. You may benefit with a posting in other language sections =). Good luck!

Well it depends on the answers    however I remind everybody that except 2-3 of them the questions were chosen by Simulacrum and the survey results were been used by journalists/academics so all the merit goes to him.

Yes I am posting it also in the other language sections, if somebody can help me with the translation of the original post I would be glad so I don't have to publish it in english

I actually like your observation on people just show up, collect data and then disappear, we are not lab rats, I will be glad to see the report of this research after completion.

This is the 4th thread that is doing survey about bitcoins. I have not yet answered the questionnaires, I am still reading them. There are good questions but some needs to be rephrased or must be changed to make the questionnaires good enough. Like the others said number one question needs to be improved. Good luck to your survey and hope it will help the bitcoin community a lot.

Where is the survey?

Yes you will, and the data will be available for everybody so other reports can be done.

There are good questions but some needs to be rephrased or must be changed to make the questionnaires good enough.

I didn't change the questions because there have been more than 1000 answers for the same survey in 2013, so having an updated one would be really important to understand trends and changes over time.

Where is the survey?
