A study made by the german Postbank has concluded that 29% of the Germans are looking towards Cryptocurrencies as a potential investment even though Bitcoin and Ethereum took a heavy plunge during 2018. Postbank has made a study labeled ‘Digitalstudie 2018’ between February and March this year, during the time when the Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies were in decline from the January highs.

The age group in question was between 18 and 34 and the answers pointed out that almost every second (46%) of the answered were interested in Digital Assets.

The original article also points out that Bitcoin and other Digital assets have been in media focus during the last year and citizens are still finding growing interest even though the price has been dropping and banks have came out with negative statements.

Dr. Thomas Mangel, Chief Digital Officer found it fascinating that so many Germans are into these new cryptocurrencies even though they are labeled as high risk investment instruments, but he also added that most people are under risk of losing money with these volitional assets.

One of the most interesting things that the study found out is that most people who answered the study found financial independence as the most important quality of Digital Assets. Another interesting aspect was anonymity and privacy, as every third answered that this is very important.

Another thing the study concluded is that these new innovative technologies are growing in popularity with the younger age groups, this is probably not something that shocks many people as back in February Christopher Giancarlo, Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has also came out with a heart warming story about his kids being more interested in crypto compared to traditional markets.
