Bitcoin survey suggestions needed..

[aysg76]

This idea was pretty well in my mind for long term but i was not having any free time and needed some team members for the same.I was going to conduct Bitcoin survey in my area to know how much people know about the financial revolution "Bitcoin" and how many are aware about it's usage and its functionalty at first phase and make them aware about it if they don't know about it.So now i have got some time from my office work and gathered some support of my team members to conduct the survey.So i was needing some suggestions from you on questions that i should include in my sample qustionare for the survey.This is first phase of survey only and i want to include basic questions only not too much technical ones in the first half only.So please give suggestions according to it and one member should provide only one question which he thinks is best suited for the same.

I will choose some of the best questions which will suit my survey as i have made some of my also.I will lock the thread within 2 days and then go on with survey and then publish it here for all of you.

Since you are just asking for one important question from members, this will be made easier if you can provide a list of questions that you already prepared. We don't want to repeat what's already in there and we could think of other questions.

As for me, Would you rather hold $1000 in your bank account for five years with little interest or would you buy BTC if there's a chance that it could become $10,000 in five years?

In this context, of course, you have to think carefully first because I think for a survey like this it seems simple but in reality it is not. because you have to start by basing the survey to make it look more attractive because this is the earliest step and also the most important step in determining the success of a survey besides if you want to find out how much they know about bitcoin it means you have to do demographic targeting of respondents because there are definitely two possibilities, the first one is someone who already knows about bitcoin and there is also someone who still doesn't know about bitcoin so you need to make a separate questionnaire for each of these demographic targets, you can't equate those who don't know and those who already know about bitcoin, and you need to determine in advance how many samples you want to survey because the larger the sample size used by a survey, the more representative it will be of the demographic population that is the target of the survey.

"Would you rather to trust your money on Bank that someone can control it or be your own Bank with Bitcoin and no one can control it except you?"

I think a newcomer need such questions about the difference between Bitcoin and Bank to make they understand about the basic purpose of Bitcoin. Most of people might interested with Bitcoin due to money or investment, but that's not really correct way to introduce Bitcoin to them.

Since I don't know what questions you already have, then I'll just list some of the obvious ones I remember from various surveys I participated in the last month or so:
- Have ever heard about Bitcoin? From where did you hear it?
- Do you have Bitcoin or do you have a plan to save some bitcoin in the near future?
- Do you ever use Bitcoin to make transactions, or do you plan to use them in the near future? At which marketplace do you used or plan to use them?
- Have you ever talk about Bitcoin with someone close to you? Do they hold some bitcoin?
- What is your plan with your bitcoin (if you have any) for the long term?
etc.

Let's say that the participant at the very least ever heard Bitcoin. If you want to know the awareness about the usage and functionality of Bitcoin I think you can ask something like "Do you see Bitcoin as a currency or an investment". I think that question is the basic thing and it made you know how the participant perceives Bitcoin in the first place, therefore you can grow the question based on that.

Also, What I'd like to know the most is, assuming the participants has ever use Bitcoin, how their point of view in term of ease of usage or user experience when they do something with Bitcoin.

My list of questions:

- What online mode of payment they use when ordering products online.
- Do these ecommerce sites also accept other payment methods like Paypal?

- Are you sending or recieing money to relatives thru remittance services?
-  Did you know that there are cheaper ways to send/recieve money?

And then introduction to Bitcoin.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

1. Have you ever heard about Bitcoin?

2. If yes, when and where?
The where can be a list of sources such as
- Media (TV, radio, Newspaper, social media)
- Someone (Maybe a friend or relative)
- Pyramid schemes hiding behind bitcoin to make adverts etc

3. Do you think Bitcoin is a good innovation or What excites/annoys you about Bitcoin

Just to comment that, regardless of the questions themselves, which are a derivate of the specific goals you want to get answers to, you need to pay attention to some global factors, such as:
 
-   Sample size required to have meaningful results (read https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/sample-size-calculator/ for a comprehensible explanation). A smaller sample than needed will be insightful, but not conclusive.

-   Diversity in the surveyed audience (i.e. if you want to know something on the general population between 18 and 65, make sure you’ve got people of all sorts of backgrounds and age groups randomly, and not all working in the financial district for example).

-   Closed questions versus open questions: The more closed the options, the more quantitative analysis you can do. Open questions lead to a more qualitative approach. Most questions should probably be quantitative, meaning that you have to set the question in the right tone to get a 0 .. 9, or delimit the set of answers of a given question to a list.

I hope the questionnaire is related to financial matters such as knowing inflation levels, the effects of printing money, the reason for currency depreciation instead of Bitcoin price models, invest $100 and you will be rich and so on.
Beginners have weak hands, they will not hold cryptocurrencies for long periods and will start selling as soon as the price drops, thus making more losses.

I was just thinking that with this excersize you would need to know a little more
from people you are questioning but keep it imple so that people dont feel that
their privacy is invaded.

I would also suggest keeping the questionaire short so that you get a good response
and people dont feel they have to commit too much time.

You will have to figure out if you want simple questions answered or if you want
more detailed answers, as above closed or open questions.

My suggestions for some questions would be something like:

Q1. Have you heard of Bitcoin? Y/N

Q2. Do you think you will ever own Bitcoin? Y/N

Q3. Do you think Bitcoin can be used by people like yourself? Y/N

Q4. What age group do you belong to? 18-30, 31-50 or 51-70

Q5. Are you currently employed? Part Time, Full Time or No

Measuring the extent to which people are aware of Bitcoin is a very good idea, because if you have given the stimulus first to those you want to ask questions.

Why? To be honest, the internet world and the Bitcoin part in it will be very difficult to understand for people who usually work on plantations, factory workers, traders and also freelancers. How can you be sure that the survey will reach your target? then what is your initial hypothesis for now before the launch of the survey?

Before conducting a survey, you may already know much more about what procedures should be used as a reference for those who are still new to understanding the concept of Bitcoin as a whole.
There are various alternatives in conducting surveys, one of which is by applying the stimulus first, as I have stated above.

Because it would be a waste of time, if you spend time doing a survey, but at the end of the conclusion there is no value or learning to take. Then if you want to take a survey sample to several people closest to you, use random sampling, or there are various options:
1. Snowball Sampling
2. Purposive Sampling
3. Quota Sampling
4. Accidental Sampling
5. Systematic Sampling
6. Saturated Sampling Technique

[capcaypro]

I think the questionnaire that must be asked for a survey like this should be a rhetorical questioner and not an opinion because basically if you do a survey but use opinions with a small sample, it will definitely bring up some opinions which will be very confusing for researchers to narrow down the results of the answers from the survey. .
This is different from rhetorical questions which only need to answer yes or no and this will make it easier for researchers to conclude the survey results.
why a rhetorical question? it is very clear that if the sample needed by the researcher, for example there are 100 people, the results will definitely answer between yes and no, it will be easier to differ from a questionnaire that uses opinions, at least the researcher will get 100 opinions and it will be very difficult to conclude and need additional questions that can make research becomes out of sync and takes a long time

[bosede1]

Since is on a beginner level the first question should be; have you heard about bitcoin, how and when? what is your take on the subject Bitcoin? Do you want to invest in it or you are already an investor.

[aysg76]

I have kept all the factors in mind to conduct this survey in my area like :

1) The number of people who will be needed for this is ideal not less which could affect the final conclusions.

2)The survey will be conducted with age group ranging from 18-60 so that each age group idealogy about bitcoin is generated.

3) The survey will b conducted with sample size of both age groups coming under 18-60 age category.

Rest thanks all for giving your suggestions and methods needed to accompany my survey and will choose surely some of your questions and include them in my survey.

[NeuroticFish]

please give suggestions

If the answer to "did you hear about bitcoin" is yes, I would add a question like "What you think, is bitcoin dirty/drug/illegal money, or is it clean/as good as any (USD)"?
I mean that you could also see if the old "bitcoin is bad" narrative is still catching...

[Wexnident]

I'd actually use a questionnaire with rating instead-but the same questions can be applied, instead of letting the recipients write their answers in a short essay format (just so that it would be a LOT easier to manage the data and you can use it for a larger survey base). It'd probably be best to ask about Bitcoins properties as well as comparing it to the current fiat system that we have right now. Ask about how good is the decentralization, store of value, profit possibility, your own bank feature, compare it to the current bank system we have, etc.

I was also having something similar in my mind and one of the purpose of this survey is to know still people believe in such bullshit and living away from reality and will guide them towards reality of bitcoin.

[lovesmayfamilis]

I thought about asking the people I would like to survey.
For some reason, I'm sure that the very word "bitcoin" is familiar to so many people. And I would start by asking what they know about him? And what do they not understand? First, having determined the points on what further questions you should be guided by, you must subsequently understand what kind of category of people it is.
If you ask about medicine, you will start with the simplest questions, won't you? You will not ask people questions about the intricacies of a particular operation, knowing that people may not be familiar with it at all.
Therefore, in the same way, start with the simplest questions. And then divide the categories into those who know something and those who hear about Bitcoin for the first time.

I was going to conduct Bitcoin survey in my area to know how much people know about the financial revolution "Bitcoin" and how many are aware about it's usage and its functionalty at first phase and make them aware about it if they don't know about it.

The only way you'd be able to properly achieve the bolded parts is with the use of a dynamic ^[automated] survey, as opposed to a survey that comes with a single set of questions.
^{- In addition to those, you have to find a way "within the survey" to provide appropriate sources for your respondents [easier said than done].}

This is first phase of survey only and i want to include basic questions only
