Just to add some insights provided by a survey by Disruptiva on 1233 locals, concerning the Bitcoin Law:
The survey consists of over 30 questions, of which the following seem relevant to me:
- 77% of the population do not consider it to be good decision to make bitcoin a legal tender there.
- 64% are not willing to receive their salary in bitcoins.
- Nearly half of them do not know anything about bitcoin. 48,2% declare knowing bitcoin somewhat, and 4,9% state they know a lot about it.
- 75% have got a smartphone to connect to the internet, but 23,5% have no means to connect.
- 67,14% of the respondents that were also merchants, declare that they are not willing to receive payments in bitcoin.
- 60,7% are not in possession of a bank account, and 67,5% do not have a bank card (credit/debit).
- 95% believe that the dollar gives them financial stability (vs 1% that believe bitcoin will).
- Only 2,5% of the respondents have experience performing crypto TXs previously.
- 40% consider the Bitcoin Law favours large companies/businessmen.
- 25,6% believe bitcoin will improve the economy, but 43,6% believe it will make it worse.
- The more the age, the less people know about bitcoin, and the less positive they are about it.
Quite a bit of pedagogy is still going to be required over the coming months, and at a fast rate too
