In Mexico, the UENI research firm conducted a study, in a field composed of 1287 Mexican microentrepreneurs, that is: supermarkets, restaurants, clothing sales, accessories, among others. In which it was concluded that 67.1% of respondents were unaware of the world of cryptocurrencies. The remaining 32.9% who said they knew the concept of cryptocurrencies, were asked another question, in which they were asked, if they would be willing to accept cryptocurrencies as a method of payment? and the result was that 50.4% of respondents he said no .

-Why does the population know cryptocurrencies?
-What would happen if at least 67.1% of microenterprises accepted Bitcoin as payment methods?
-Could it be that there are more countries like Mexico in which the population does not know or fear this new technology?
Its not surprising really and its not limited only to Mexico. The reason is not far-fetched. Majority of the businesses that would have been part of the survey would have been established by people who are advanced in age and they have been running their businesses before the advent of bitcoin which is a little above ten years. In all of these entrepreneurs, only few of them would be up to date in terms of technological advancement. The survey would give a more representation if focus is on businesses established within the last decade, run and managed by millennials.
