26Million of American own a cryotocurrecy.

[Tambu]

in 2018 people who invest in the crypto currency will be much more than in 2017, because this is a very promising investment although very risky

It could be. Social media a good medium to carry information about cryptocurrency. That's why the number of people own crypto increases every year.
Not just because people found it as good investment but many people put their hope to be rich on cryptocurrency.

I'm glad that the crypto industry is developing and people have begun to understand the fact that crypto is our future. The more people are interested in crypto, the higher the demand and the price of coins. That's what we wait for.

How did they count? IMHO there is no such quantity of people here in crypto. If we count top exchanges how can they handle this quantity of users just from the USA)

They did the survey. All of the of the numbers mentioned are all estimation close to reality.
I don't think so they will do that in exchange. They could violate some rules if they do that.

[chenjkai]

Probably those are just numbers that do not have any weight, probably that percentage is not accurate and there is less percentage of them. And, some of the markets are banning US citizens, I do not know why, but this is the reason which can probably exclude 1% of them. (my opinion)

[lovemsngr]

Yes, and we have to be happy about it. More clients and more people involved is good for cryptocurrencies, so for us. People have to be educated about it. Sometime it might get over everything in the world.

[midorichain]

And in 2018 we will see even more people who will invest in the crypto currency , because they will see in this huge potential!

[BitcoinMarshal]

We can say its good figure but not all good and experienced in trading most are going to try this cryptocurrency and taking knowledge about this hopefully this could be very helpful in future as its spreading and need more good and experienced peoples in this community which can bring new ways and good fortunes for millions of peoples around the world

The survey shows that huge number of American are into cryptocurrency and 8% of the population planning to buy a crypto.
This is an indicator that many people around the world are crypto-educated. It can boost a crypto market.

many cryptocurrencies are for free sooner or later thats gonna be all americans and all humans that own smartphones having cryptocurrencies.

[BChydro]

Only 2001 people were surveyed, but still, percentages are quite impressing but still inaccurate.

Finder’s survey was answered by 2,001 Americans adults using Pureprofile, a site that gives cash rewards to users that participate in its surveys.

That is the flaw of these survey as they are not an exact representation of the fact, if there are 26 million American owns a cryptocurrency then what would be the total number of users around the globe, it looks like there are not much coins for everyone to purchase . What ever it may be we might see more users with time as there will be more exposure regarding the new market.

They have conducted a survey in a site where users earns rewards through survey and almost 2001 people participated in the survey and they have came to a conclusion that twenty six millions American's own cryptocurrency, it is a complete joke and we have seen the election polls where every survey showed that Hilary Clinton was leading and you now know what really happened.

[senne]

This could be more interesting to read if more people would have surveyed for the company. Also, this survey is based upon nearly 2,000 people, so how can we assume that it can relate to 26 Million of American population. Moreover, many users have joined cryptocurrency to stay anonymous and such data can only be misleading and good to read nothing else. One cannot conclude anything from these surveys until global data of users using crypto currency is not analysed.

[KryptoKai]

That is a number which will certainly grow in the coming years. Especially as the younger generation adopts blockchain technology and invests in bitcoin. When the SEC is sorted then we can get even more Americans into crypto, even the privacy coins if they want to do it anonymously

good news given the tax-imposed bitcoin in the US, that would add trusts with bitcoin and investors will increase, which will make the market rise again. considering the last few months bitcoin to be the pros and cons in various countries. which keeps the price down. hopefully for the future there is no more FUD that causes the price down.

I am not surprise...like the 50 million on food stamps also. .. We will see the game changing in less than a year even if we are at the beginning . 2018 is definitely the era of Crypto. Pornhub with verge (xvg)  is the beginnning of mass adoption.

Yes, after so many years of development, digital assets have begun to be accepted by more and more people, especially young people.

[GrandBcn]

I agree that social surveys are not very reliable. However, regardless of whether this is true or not, the fact that cryptocurrencies are becoming more popular every day is a fact. Look at how the number of participants on this forum is growing. Every day people come for whom it is all new and unexplored and attractive.

[JustBetweenUs]

People think that Pornhub and the partnership with verge would be the beginnning of mass adoption. I think the beginning of mass adoption happens when cryptos ard being actually adopted by a broad audience vs niche markets like gambling or porn. When are we goin to see a large retailer offering cryptos as payment?

Yeah, social survey could be a 100% reliable but it can give data to predict the numbers of people holding a crypto. All survey cannot be a 100% correct though.
For this 2018 i guess there more people hold crypto.
