Many Americans are interested in Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

According to a survey conducted by the peer-to-peer Bitcoin marketplace – Paxful, people are seeing digital assets as an alternative to the traditional and “faulty” financial system.

Cryptocurrency awareness soars amid global pandemic

Talking to prime xbt, Artur Scahabck, chief operating officer and co-founder of Paxful said:

“It’s interesting how many people believe mainstream use will be within the next six to 10 years. In contrast, during the same period (6 to 10 years) survey respondents thought the crypto bubble would burst. And I very much hope the first scenario will happen. So in my opinion, we should focus on making more products suitable for real life needs, which will promote widespread use among the public.”

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Paxful believes that both cryptocurrencies and the traditional financial system are in the process of being tested. This fact partly explains why the price of Bitcoin is gradually increasing, as it has become a safe-haven asset.

Scahabck emphasized that understanding of cryptocurrencies is more advanced than ever:

“I remember when I first started, no one knew about Bitcoin or even remembered what the word “Bitcoin” was. However, from the survey conducted this year and last year, the results indicate that more and more people are hearing about cryptocurrencies and are associating with them according to different concepts, currency or technology. We still have a long way to go, but I’m excited to see more products that will drive mainstream adoption.”

Although it is still facing many difficulties when it comes to adoption, the survey also highlights that 53.8% of respondents believe that lack of knowledge is a factor restraining the spread of cryptocurrency adoption.
