According to Finder.com research, 8% of the US population owns digital currencies. Company employees conducted a survey among 2,000 Americans using the Pureprofile website, which rewards users who take part in surveys
The largest share of cryptocurrencies is in the hands of millennials - 17.2%, Generation X (people who were born shortly after the end of World War II) owns 2.24% of digital currencies.
Of the 92.05% of Americans who do not own cryptocurrency, 8% are planning to change this and buy it in the near future. If we look at the ratio by gender, then 11.86% of cryptocurrencies are in the hands of men, and only 4.27% are in the hands of women.
With the help of this survey, it was also possible to find out the reason why Americans do not want to buy cryptocurrencies: one part of the population does not consider them interesting and necessary, and the second cited high transaction fees as the reason.
Women trust cryptocurrencies more than men. The latter consider them to be pure fraud and deception. Among those who called digital currencies “too difficult to understand or use,” the percentage of men and women is approximately the same.
The most purchased cryptocurrency in the United States is Bitcoin, followed by Ethereum by almost 4%. Bitcoin Cash takes third place in the ranking.
