“Are citizens of the country inclined to invest their savings in virtual currency?” - that was the name of the survey that was recently conducted in the Czech Republic. And the most common answer to the question of what foreign currency survey participants would like to purchase was Bitcoin.
The national currency of the Czech Republic is not strong enough; residents of many countries with a similar situation prefer to invest in the dollar or euro. The Czechs take a different position: they consider Bitcoin a more profitable investment. Neither the dollar nor the euro was in first place among more than 500 survey participants, which is surprising.
Previously, the Czech National Bank stated that banks should not be afraid of digital currencies, since they are not a means of payment. However, a couple of months later, a Russian citizen purchased real estate in Prague, paying for it with cryptocurrency. It is important to note that payment with digital currency was one of the key points of the transaction.
Payment with cryptocurrency is beginning to spread to different areas of life. For example, earlier the state Arizona passed a bill that allows you to pay taxes in digital currency.
