Week 9: Perceptions of Bitcoin (Part II)

In Week 8, we explored how people imagine bitcoin’s future. This week, we turn to the present: how do people actually see bitcoin today? Across 25 countries, the data shows a mix of hesitation, uncertainty, and opportunity.

Key findings:
- 30% say bitcoin is easy to buy or sell; most remain neutral on usability
- 25–30% agree bitcoin protects privacy or is prone to fraud
- 34% find bitcoin difficult to understand

Fewer than 20% feel they have the resources or knowledge to use it. Perceptions remain cautious — but not closed. Building trust, improving usability, and expanding education may prove just as important to adoption as price or policy.
