Poll: one in four Americans would back Bitcoin legalization

27% of Americans expressed a positive view of the hypothetical scenario of recognizing Bitcoin as a payment method. The results come from the research organization YouGov.

The survey included 4,912 respondents.

Only 28% of respondents were firmly opposed to such an initiative, 11% would not welcome it, and 34% were undecided. One in nine Americans would fully support the idea, and one in six would prefer a stance of moderate support.

The main supporters of the first cryptocurrency were respondents aged 25 to 34, while those over 55 were opposed.

Among women, 41% had no knowledge of Bitcoin, among men this figure was 27%. Almost one in three men would view the legalization of the first cryptocurrency positively, with women this share at 21%.

The survey also found that the share of Bitcoin supporters and awareness of it grows with higher annual income.

As reported by GamblersPick poll, 37% of American crypto investors will not sell their digital assets even to pay bills, and a little over half would not spend them on luxury items or holidays.

Earlier, a study by payment processor BitPay and the news aggregator PYMNTS showed that 60% of U.S. digital asset holders consider cryptocurrencies suitable for everyday purchases, despite existing barriers.
