Today is November 11th, 2022. As you may know, the crypto industry is called to pay attention to the so-called \u201c<\/span><\/i>Crypto Literacy Month<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u201d these weeks. Indeed, there are some\u00a0interesting\u00a0surveys being held, lectures and speeches being delivered, new articles and overviews being published now. For us, at Evercode Lab, every month is a Crypto Literacy Month. That is why we try to cover the most important crypto phenomena with our analysis and constantly track the most far-reaching crypto developments. We are not alone. Most of our colleagues from other companies do the same.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

What is noteworthy in this respect, however, is that the latest figures show: a lot is left to be done!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

YouGov Survey<\/b>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>This post is intended to communicate the most important findings of the recent survey made possible by <\/span>YouGov<\/span><\/a> in collaboration with the <\/span>Crypto Literacy<\/span><\/a> project<\/span>. <\/span><\/i>The key rationale behind this study was to find out how much BTC-aware Americans — US residents, Mexicans, and Brazilians — actually know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The questionnaire consisted of 17 questions covering such topics as crypto in general, BTC, <\/span>DeFi<\/span><\/a>, blockchain as a whole, stablecoins, mining processes, types of crypto-wallets, <\/span>non-fungible tokens<\/span><\/a>, and respondents\u2019 overall attitudes to digital currencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Results<\/b><\/p>\n

The outcomes generate mixed feelings. As we all remember, crypto was supposed to liberate people, bring them closer to finance, and instill previously unseen trust. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>As Satoshi Nakamoto <\/span>wrote back<\/span><\/a> in 2009, <\/span>\u201cI’ve developed a new open-source P2P e-cash system called Bitcoin. It’s completely decentralized, with no central server or trusted parties, because everything is based on crypto proof instead of trust.\u201d<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>However, if we want BTC to become a full-fledged legal tender in some countries at least, transparency and trust may not be enough. It also takes deeper knowledge to make the best of crypto. And here is still a problem. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>According to the survey, the situation is as follows: <\/span>
