[Survey] Have you ever heard of cryptocurrency?

[boss1dg]

this data shows that many people have heard about cryptocurrency which is normal bcoz many time news sites published it . also it shows that only 5-10% people own crypto as of now and many of new people want to invest in crypto . for this they are preferring specialist website as per data , it means we need to educate people more about cryptocurrency to convince them . they also seeking for right entry point of bitcoin .
entire data is favorable for crypto market only need is to spread more words about it , we should discuss it with other people so that they know why it is the future .

This is a great research and very well presented and it all shows that the adoption of Bitcoin and crypto currency in general is on the increase on a daily basis. Although it's value since the beginning of the year has been on the decline but that doesn't deter people from not investing their money in crypto currency.

Social media, especially twitter and facebook were a major influence in the spread of cryptocurrencies to the general public. It's quite an awesome news that Facebook has lifted its ban on cryptocurrencies. Without scam ICOs we would have been years ahead of our current status in terms of popularity.

It's great to see the popularity of crypto is rising, but a bit sad to see that not many people owning crypto, and I believe most of the people want crypto because of the price that keep on rising, but I still happened to see the data, with increasing popularity there will be more developments for crypto in the future

Every people managed to know about cryptocurrency even when they are young like in college or highschool days but not everyone can manage to invest because they did not have money money or they are just not interested.

i think this will help us in gaining trust rating and therefore adding popularity of bitcoin but i guessed the correspondents are already rich countries, business minded and economically stable countries, i think they are less interested in cryptos because they have other sources of income, maybe the best way is to include 3rd world countries to really be fairly represent globally.

[zakariajaki]

data and surveys are fairly complete, and quite accurate although the source of data retrieval has not yet been described in detail and age, but I think the data here is sufficient to include and complement secondary data for a future economic analysis, additional my opinion about cypto in the future is one of the alternative economic practices and can be one of the future investment alternatives, I hope there is an avenue for future economic progress may be useful and successful for all of us

[Jannatul Shefa]

That's a great survey. According to the survey most of European are known about cryptocurrency. But other country people are also heard about it. If they find proper facilities they will surely invest in it. And that will make cryptocurrency successful in future which will be pleasant for all of us.

I think that people who know about the crypto currency are much more than what statistics show. In social networks, ICO advertising is actively promoted and people are increasingly interested in passive income.

It's a survey conducted by ING Bank and the respondents are from Europe, The U.S.A, and Austalia (15 countries in total ~15,000 respondents)
The results are not bad for the reputation of cryptocurrency. I mean, look, in Europe, 66% have heard of the technology, 25% indicated they expect to own cryptocurrency, 35% in Europe agree Bitcoin is the future of spending online.
To me, cryptocurrency is more mainstream than what we can think and hear. Sure, it's not yet in each house but it isn't bad as of now

This is really good and shows how many people are interested in. Bitcoin in this our current world. The last question on where to get information if one ever gets interested in it, I think heading to a specialist website is the best.

No better place than to get online and read different opinions from different groups of people and also get to know what they think about it, that would be really much helpful than other options that were given. Eehm… As for the how many people that owns bitcoin🤔Mehn… they are not much, but anyway Bitcoin is mainly for investment and nothing else.

Behind the crypto currency future - the transition from fiat currencies to digital money. This process of preparation for such a transition is everywhere, therefore every month more and more people on the planet will own such information. Today, the Crypto currency is an opportunity to make money, mainly for investors.

This are all European countries that was surveyed. So I guess Europe has a vast knowledge and experience in cryptocurrency. I also hope to see some surveys done outside Europe, like Asia and other part of the globe.

In the future, I'm pretty much sure That the cryptocurrency would have expand the global coverage perhaps replace the fiat currency.

What's going on in Belgium for awareness to be so low? And what's going on in Turkey for such a ludicrously high percentage of owners? I wonder if the samples per country were of the same amount of people and the same method and demographic.

The differences in some cases may very well be related to the economical situation in certain countries. Turkey has been dealing with a depreciating currency for quite a while now, and it seems to get worse with every month that goes by. It might have triggered people to research what the alternatives are to park their capital in and avoid further loss of purchasing power. In the last 12 months the Lira lost like 28% in value against the Euro, which is horrible for anyone that works hard for his money. It might also be something else adding fuel to the fire, but this is the most plausible from what is publicly known.

Indeed, almost everyone that possess crypto keep it because of price rising. In other words, for them crypto is an asset and not currency. Which is sad indeed, but that will continue as such until crypto becomes as usable as fiat currencies. But that I don't expect to happen soon.  Also with increase of crypto users, everythiny becomes better.

But, I do not think crypto can be used like fiat currency for various reasons. But if only to be used to transact online might be better implemented in the future. With its high popularity, it is very likely to happen in the future. With the bitcoin is definitely going to make it easier for shoppers between countries, because with bitcoin we do not need an intermediary like transact using fiat money that tends to be inhibiting and will take longer.

[jlong187]

In my country this survey would be looking completely different,  there are so many advertisements last days about cryptocurrencies blockchain and all those companies providing their services, so I can thing that almost everybody in my country is knowing.

[ice18]

Results are not bad indeed its only 2018 right now and many countries are starting to adopt and noticed the power cryptocurrencies I wonder how many percentage it may increase in the next 5 years?

If you compare Belgium which has about 10 million citizens and France which as about 65 million citizens, it's not so bad. The difference is only 2%. See also the UK and The Netherlands. I think the high percentage of Turkey is because of a situation like Venezuela, myself I was surprised with Turkey. Overall the stats are not bad
