A new survey by YouGov which is a global data and research firm serving industries, governments and people in different ways – has emerged in the crypto section of our DC Forecasts Bitcoin news site – showing the interest about Bitcoin in the United Kingdom.
According to the research, people in the United Kingdom are aware of Bitcoin (93%) and only 4% of them claimed to understand the most dominant cryptocurrency very well. Almost six times that many claimed to understand it “fairly well” and what was interesting is the fact that more and more young people are aware of and interested in Bitcoin.
About one in six people over the age of 55 claimed to understand Bitcoin fairly well, while 20% of the people believe that Bitcoin will inevitably be “as common as cash or card” as the survey notes.
Another interesting figure is the 6% of all men polled – who said that they had invested in Bitcoin before – and 1% of women that had purchased Bitcoin. This group was overwhelmingly aged 18-24 which proves that the age of digital currency gives birth to a new type of investors, the “young” ones.
The YouGov researchers also highlighted that about 87% of the respondents were neutral or negative on the subject of non-bank currency. The largest group of 25% answered that they were neutral on the subject while another (18%) said they were not sure how to answer that.
