One of the key principles behind cryptocurrencies is the notion that their value is controlled not by a central institution, but by the people using it, which I think has a major affect on people becoming more interested, amidst Brexit and global trade tensions. Not so surprising?
The forbes article is pretty interesting, but it shows that 20% in the UK think that cryptocurrencies will become as common as cash and cards. While it is not nothing, 'a nation of crypto believers' sounds too loud if we look at the poll data. If the poll really allows us to extrapolate data not only on young and educated middle class UK citizens, but on the whole nation (and we shall hope that it can, since it's not just a random sociological poll conducted by noname company), with England's population being 55 million, about 11 million people should be crypto believers there. Compared with the amount of blockchain wallets, this could be a huge support of the community in the future.
