Likelihood to buy cryptocurrency in the U.S. 2017-2020, by age
U.S. adults grew increasingly more resolved over recent years on whether they wanted to buy Bitcoin, with younger age groups spearheading this development. The percentage of people indicating they are either "very" or "somewhat" likely to buy Bitcoin in the next 5 years increased by 13 percentage points among 18-to 34-year-olds between the spring of 2019 and the fall of 2020. Note that the survey figures provided were from before the surge in the price of Bitcoin that occurred in late 2020 and early 2021. The source even mentions that despite the price being below the all-time height observed during publication, "a surge in the general population's propensity to purchase Bitcoin" was observed during the survey.
