Likelihood for consumers worldwide to start using cryptocurrencies 2018
In late 2018, roughly one out of seven respondents to a worldwide survey said they were considering using cryptocurrency in the future. Whilst the majority of surveyed consumers either said outright they were not interested in the digital coin, or were not sure whether they might use it, the source called it "hopeful" that roughly 14 percent said they were willing to try it out. Note this survey was held well before the second price surge of Bitcoin in late 2020 and early 2021.
