After El Salvador confirmed Bitcoin as legal currency, Yougov America Inc., an international research data and analytics group based in London, conducted a survey Thursday (September 9) to determine whether consumers were adopting Bitcoin as legal tender in the United States. Four thousand nine hundred twelve adults in the country took part in the survey; 61% had no objections.

Respondents were asked, “Would you support or oppose the US to make Bitcoin a legal currency? That means companies accept Bitcoin in exchange for goods and services and continue to accept US dollars. “

According to the results, 11% said they were “strongly supportive,” and 16% said they were “somewhat supportive.” Meanwhile, 11% said they were “slightly disliked,” 28% said they were “strongly disliked,” and 34% said they “don’t know.”

Among the male respondents, the number of strong supporters of accepting Bitcoin as a legal currency rose to 15%, and 17% said they supported something. On the women’s side, only 7% were firmly in favor of this and 14% somewhat in favor.

The top age groups who strongly prefer Bitcoin as legal tender in the United States are 25-34 (20%) and 35-44 (19%). On the other hand, 26% of the 18 to 24-year-olds and 24% of the 25 to 34-year-olds supported this somewhat.

These countries will accept Bitcoin like El Salvador.

Grayscale CEO says emerging markets are starting to be attracted to Bitcoin.

In one Video Recently, Michael Sonnenschein believed that some areas of the world would accept Bitcoin whether their governments act or not.

“Acceptance rates are currently highest in emerging markets, in countries like Africa, Southeast Asia, and parts of South America.

But indeed, we see the appeal of Bitcoin regardless of the actions of these governments because there are so many citizens who either have no access to financial services … or maybe the local currency has been lost and the government’s inability to control it. “

Sonnenshein said Grayscale predicts that one day an emerging country will support BTC and that other emerging countries could soon follow in El Salvador’s footsteps.

“There will be a country like El Salvador that will make Bitcoin legal tender; I mean an incredible milestone for this community.

We have long believed that emerging markets will be an important place for Bitcoin adoption, and I think this will ultimately impact countries looking at it. “

Grayscale is the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC), founded in 2013, and the first equity fund to invest exclusively in Bitcoin.
