The future isn't here: most Russians know almost nothing about cryptocurrency Source:

The Official status of cryptocurrencies and the ICO in Russia is not yet defined. It seems that many citizens don't really care. According to a study of the holding company «ROMIR», the Russians do not understand the principle of the crypts and do not seek to buy it. About it writes .

Why cryptocurrency

Recall that in March the discussion of cryptocurrency was first made at the level of the state Duma. The draft law on the regulation of digital assets the first reading, but further work on it in the fall. While the crypt is not considered legal tender in the country.

At the same time, the Bank of Russia eliminates any possibility of the coins can be exchanged for rubles. According to representatives of the companies, this practice can lead to various dubious operations of money laundering. But the Russian ICO in the Bank give the green light, allows the Central Bank to exchange their tokens for currency, only if they do not have a payment function.

In the survey Agency «ROMIR» participated 1.5 thousand of Russians over the age of 18 years.

The results showed that despite the increased attention to the problem, some idea about cryptocurrencies have less than half of Russians — 44 percent. The majority of respondents — 56 percent — said they don't know what is.

It Turns out that only a third of respondents had a General idea of the crypt. To tell you more about the digital assets are only 13 percent of the people.

The answer often given by the survey participants from low-income groups (less than 10 thousand rubles per family member) — 38 percent. Interestingly, in the group with the highest income (from 25 thousand rubles and above per family member), the share of those who has a clue about cryptocurrency was even lower average figure is 26 percent.

Among active cryptoendoliths most young people aged 18 to 24 years. While men among them, two times more than women. However, even with a clear understanding of the crypts, many Russians do not want to invest in it.

87 percent to purchase their plan. To invest not away only 11 percent. That the cryptocurrency they have said only 2 percent of respondents. Given the proportions, we can say that the number of holders is within statpogreshnosti.

But those who still got , spoke about the desire to make money on the crypt. While more than half of them reached their financial goals. 24% of the inhabitants bought a cryptocurrency out of a desire to follow the fashion. 16 percent intend to use it to purchase real goods and services.

The Study demonstrated that some important financial instrument cryptocurrencies have not yet become. Moreover, Russian society, earlier times bigasstease on various schemes, demonstrates in this case a healthy skepticism.

The Most popular coins among respondents was Bitcoin and Ethereum. It seems that the cryptocurrency is not yet widespread in the world. About this including evidenced by the foreigners in Moscow during 2018 world Cup.

If anything, the situation correct .
