LOS ANGELES, June 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- CreditCoin.com, the fastest and easiest way to buy
cryptocurrencies, today announced the results of a new study that
shows the greatest obstacle for obtaining cryptocurrency is the
complicated purchasing process.
With Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrencies dominating
headlines across the world, CreditCoin surveyed 1,000 consumers in
the United States who were
somewhat familiar with Bitcoin to better understand who owns
cryptocurrencies, how they are being used and cultural perceptions
around ownership.
Almost 40 percent of Millennials surveyed reported owning
cryptocurrency, with males twice as likely (48 percent) as females
(26 percent) to own cryptocurrency. Even though Millennials
dominate crypto ownership, 24 percent of Gen X and 15 percent of
Baby Boomers also reported owning Bitcoin or altcoins. Roughly 60
percent of those who do not own cryptocurrency wish they did.
For those that don't own cryptocurrency, 44 percent of
respondents stated their biggest concern is how difficult they are
to purchase. When it comes to owning cryptocurrencies, 64 percent
of Millennials worry about security, compared to 55 percent of Gen
X and 54 percent of Baby Boomers.
"Purchasing cryptocurrency at other exchanges can be
technologically challenging," said Jennifer
Hansen, spokesperson for CreditCoin. "Cryptocurrency is
undeniably here to stay so we created CreditCoin to make it
possible for everyone to participate without being required to know
anything about eWallets or connecting their bank account to an
exchange."
The survey also showed that respondents have an opinion on their
romantic partner's involvement in cryptocurrency. In fact,
three-quarters of people surveyed stated that they would be more
likely to date someone who is knowledgeable about
cryptocurrency.
However, respondents do have some reservations about dating
someone who is obsessed with cryptocurrency. Surprisingly, the
majority of people surveyed would choose to date a person who is
divorced with a child over someone who has all their savings in
cryptocurrency and 12 percent of respondents said they would rather
date a non-violent felon.
Other interesting facts include:
- 80 percent of those who own cryptocurrency do so for investment
purposes
- Over half of respondents can imagine having 10 percent of their
savings in cryptocurrency in 10 years
- Three-quarters of consumers would like to be able to use
cryptocurrency in brick-and- mortar stores
- When asked what they would do if given $10,000, more people (39 percent) would buy
cryptocurrency than a down payment on a house (33 percent) or a car
(28 percent)
- Some of the most interesting items respondents have paid for
with cryptocurrency include a dog, a wedding and 4 cases of
Sriracha
