A recent Gallup poll shows the early adopters of Bitcoin among American investors.
2% might not sound like it's a lot but it's a very good start for such a new investment category. The question is what else needs to be done to get that 2% number higher?

https://bitcoinist.com/quarter-us-investors-intrigued-bitcoin-poll/2% for the world's largest economy is actually an encouraging number for a new asset class like bitcoin. The population is 1.3 billion and it is estimated that around 0.8 million people own bitcoin, so the percentage is around 0.61%. So comparing this, 2% is certainly an encouraging numbers. However, with time it needs to be increased.
The increase in oercentage is only possible with clear legal framework and increased merchant adoption. Unless bitcoin and other cryptos can be used as a currency or a legal tender, the growth will be slumped. Investment is ok but a currency should be used as a currency to help its growth.
