New technologies are often scary. Then, over time, people get to know them a little—and often still wouldn’t touch them with a 10-foot pole. That would be you, cryptocurrency.
The Pew Research Center yesterday released the results of a survey showing that a whopping 88% of Americans have heard at least something about crypto, and three-quarters of those people are either not very confident (36%) or not at all confident (39%) about the safety and reliability of virtual currencies. A mere 6% are very or extremely confident in crypto.
