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?

You can read about the poll and the other results of the survey here: 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.

where is your maths.
where you getting 1.3billion.. where are you getting 0.8mil own bitcoin.

its 2% of american investors.
so 325mill population(america).. 54% are investors.. which is: 175mill american investors.
2% of that basd purely on that article results in 3.5 million americans have bitcoin
