New Survey Shows people still don’t understand Crypto 

“All but 2% of survey participants across the US, Mexico and Brazil failed to score 60% or better on a quiz of basic concepts related to bitcoin, stablecoins and NFTs, helping to quantify the extent that the general public still does not understand crypto.  

Seventeen percent of the respondents in the US own crypto, according to the survey, while 15% and 14% of those surveyed in Brazil and Mexico, respectively, are invested in the space. About two-thirds of the respondents across regions do not believe purchasing crypto is easy.  

Owning cryptocurrency is associated with higher performance on the crypto literacy test, the results show. Those who own crypto are twice as likely in the US to answer questions correctly, while crypto holders in Mexico and Brazil are 50% more likely to answer correctly.”
