I wanted to see what the visitors of this website thought. So I put together a poll last week that was pretty straightforward: The proposed NYDFS Bitcoin Regulations...

Although almost half of US citizens know what bitcoin is, only 13% would choose it over gold as an investment vehicle, suggests a new survey. The poll - which received responses from 2,039 adults aged 18 and over - was conducted by Harris Interactive, in partnership with a financial management company Yodlee back in December 2013.

A recent poll completed by the Public Opinion University Institute, part of the Simeon Canas Centroamerican University, has found that El Salvador is still not attracted by the idea of bitcoin as legal tender. The poll results indicate that almost two-thirds of the population has a negative impression of bitcoin, with only a quarter of Salvadorans having used the cryptocurrency. El Salvador Still Cold on Bitcoin Adoption While El Salvador made bitcoin legal tender last year, being the first country in the world to do so, Salvadorans are still not completely sold on the idea of introducing....
Camarasal, a well known entrepreneur association in El Salvador, announced the results of a poll made this month.
