Still think you are in the "early adopter" phase of this "new" technology? Well I have news for you. More than 20% of college students already are in crypto, and what is more hilarious is that they are using a fucking student LOAN to buy in. What kind of company are we in /biz/?

you bitch.

Still a few accept bitcoin as payment.

Facebook, twitter, youtube, those are owned by everybody, anyone has a fucking FB profile.

That's the type of mainstream adoption we are talking about.

Not just people hearing about Bitcoin and knowing it. It's about owning the fucking bits.

i can't imagine how people use student loans or loans to buy shit without having a plan. i used a loan to buy LINK at 15-20 cents but i also had a part time job that can pay for the monthly due, i didn't have to cash out my investment to pay for it. i didn't need to hope that it increases, i just needed to accumulate at that price point before it blows up. i think that was a great decision, seeing as i'm up 100% on a loan that i won't be ruined with in case crypto instantly dies for some reason

This is based on a study of 2000 people who saw a facebook banner and clicked it.

Heavily skewed towards people who have crypto to show the interest because people who have no fucking idea what it even is are less likely to click.

Just a friendly reminder that South Korea that makes up 1% of the population controls 30-40% of crypto volume.

We are the early adopters. Just imagine when the rest of the world gets to the level where SK is right now when there is still no adoption.

Well done for that insight, of course until prices stabilize crypto wont be used as currency. As for countries do some reading: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United States, United Kingdom.

Main port of entry for all those nations, 10 million wallets. Its also available in limited forms in even more countries.

Nonsense. You can't declare bankruptcy again for 7-10 years after a personal BK, and it stays on your credit report for 7-10 years, you fucking dolt. There is no rule or law that you can't apply for and get credit after a BK. You'll get turned down for the better cards, but after a year or two, if you pay off your bills, and start building your credit rating, you can start getting new credit accounts. I know people who BK'ed and got new car loans a year afterwards.

Don't talk about shit you know nothing about, stupid.

LOL, what a complete crap story. They polled 2k people, out of what's around 20 million college students in the US. And, they're talking about using what's left over after tuition and fees are paid for, and that's about 4k. If 2k people were dumb enough to spend that on crypto, especially after december, instead using it for things like rent, food, books, and gas, then they're just dumbasses. And, they get to pay it back with interest, when they literally threw it away.

Fucking hilarious. With all the shit going on in crypto, this "journalist" went for the lowest hanging fruit with hardly any work involved, no real journalism, and wrote a fluff piece - and there are fucking retards here who think it means something.

You can't make this shit up. Our culture deserves to die.

And 4% of them own 95% of all crypto. That works out to about 1 million Americans holding 95% of the crypto coins in the US. That leaves about 25 million people who own less than 5%.

If you believe the reported numbers. They *think* that's true.

Dummy, most people have less than a thousand dollars worth of crypto. I know the tryhards here like to larp like everyone is a cryptomillionaire here, but it's ALL larping.

But you keep throwing that number around, like it means something.
