This and other questions are part of a questionnaire that we, a research team from the University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL) are doing. It seeks to understand the drivers' usage of cryptocurrencies by the end user such as you and me. Considering 10 different dimensions, from perceived usefulness to privacy to profitability, among others.
It takes on average 3 minutes to answer.

Here is the link for the questionnaire:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cryptocurrencies_usage

More details if you want to know more about it:
For this, it was created a questionnaire with Likert type scale questions. These dimensions will then be used to construct a model, based on the traditional Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed in 1989, and some others developed afterwards, but with more adapted to the cryptocurrencies ecosystem. Then it will be done some data analysis and compilation of results.
This questionnaire has some focus on the financial area, but this does not mean it is the most important. We know there are some other dimensions not being addresses in this questionnaire, such as decentralisation/government influence, that may be addressed in the future.
After analysing and publishing the thesis and papers I will post on this forum with infographics and the most important conclusions of the study.

There are no open questions, but you can post here or message me about this.

Thank you for your time! Best Regards,
The University Institute of Lisbon research team

Thank you for your input. I may do that after getting the first early results and may reshape some parts of the survey with some different dimensions due to some feedback I've been getting.

Academic research about cryptocurrency adoption

Hi everyone, I’m part of a research team at the University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL) and we are currently doing a research about the adoption determinants of cryptocurrencies.
Due to the lack of academic research in this area and in the cryptocurrency and blockchain areas overall, this topic was chosen for my Master’s degree thesis and for a couple of scientific papers.
The goal of this research is to understand what drives people to use cryptocurrencies and it goes a lot beyond of the “I’m here for the money” or “I’m here for the technology”.
For this, it was created a questionnaire with Likert type scale questions addressing different dimensions. These dimensions will then be used to construct a model, based on the traditional Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed in 1989, and some others developed afterwards, but with more dimensions and adapted to the cryptocurrencies ecosystem. Then it will be done some data analysis and compilation of results, there will be a lot more but I won’t complicate.
It takes on average 3 minutes to answer (5 min maximum). Your input is really important for this research and to help us and other researchers to boost academic knowledge in this area.

After analysing and publishing the thesis and papers I will post here again with infographics and the most important conclusions of the study.
We believe that after knowing in detail what drives the population to cryptocurrencies adoption a door will be open to help knowing how this ecosystem should develop in the future.

Thank you all for your participation!

Tl;dr: An academic research team needs your help to answer a questionnaire about adoption determinants of cryptocurrencies that will help boost knowledge in this area. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cryptocurrencies_usage
