"What do you perceive as the biggest barrier to adopting cryptocurrency?"

Key Takeaways

The most significant barrier to cryptocurrency adoption is the lack of understanding (47.63%). It can be seen that many individuals are unfamiliar with how cryptocurrencies work, their benefits, or how to use them effectively. Security concerns also emerge as a major barrier, underlining fears about the safety of funds and the risk of cyberattacks. This concern is closely linked to lack of trust in platforms, suggesting that people are hesitant to adopt cryptocurrency due to doubts about the reliability and security of exchange platforms. Additionally, regulatory uncertainty remains a significant concern, as many are uncertain about how governments will regulate or tax cryptocurrency, which adds to the hesitation.
