What does the average person know about Bitcoin? For a decade, crypto has been banging around in headlines, books, and every media outlet imaginable. We think you’re going to be surprised by CoinSpice.io Executive Editor, Hayden Otto’s walk about Amsterdam recently. He finds a broad sample of ethnicity, age, sex to give anyone in the space a real wake-up call for crypto education.

What Do Normies Know About Bitcoin?

Hayden Otto has interviewed crypto luminaries, traveled around the world, and is constantly engaging merchants and assorted curious folk about cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

After a decade, it might be accurate to believe average people would know at least a little about the subject, the basics.

Otto’s sample is diverse, though the universe must pass through Amsterdam in this case. The country is among the most cosmopolitan, progressive, literate. Surely if anywhere can be counted to be crypto savvy, it’s there.

A lot of Work to Do

It does appear there is a lot of work to do. How do we get mom on board? What are the best ways to make crypto more accessible? Are we concerned with how fast we get adoption, or is the quality of adoption more important? Is crypto peer-to-peer electronic cash for the world, or is it simply meant for a techno elite?

Otto’s video will stimulate a lot of discussion, and businesses, devs, speakers, exchanges would do well to watch it with their staff. What are the proper responses to these normies? The better answers will not only spur adoption, but the businesses who get closest to solving the tension are going to be very successful.
