The  best way to keep your published results useful to bitcoiners is to post them with your thesis on this Forum. Please commit to us in this request. We spend our time and thoughts giving you your research. We do not ask for payment in return. We do ask for the results of the study to be shared with us so we can be educated by our collective responses.

Very, very few people that come here asking for survey responses post their results. Do better than others before you. Thanks.


will sure post the results with thesis up here. thanks so much for your time.

Interesting survey... what I am more interested in, is this :

1. How many MBA students are involved with Bitcoin in your campus?
2. Was this thesis given to you by your lecturer or did you chose it yourself?
3. How does Bitcoin fit into your curriculum? Is there study material about Bitcoin or do you use online resources for research?

Give us a bit of background about yourself and what your future goal will be for Bitcoin or Crypto currencies. Give a little and take a lot... Wink  

thank you for your time.

I´m a bitcoin enthusiast from 2013.  I´m doing my internship in a Bitcoin startup (my thesis will never be biased on my work)

the thesis was my personal choice and my lecturer was also excited to supervise me about Bitcoin

Im planning for a PhD in Bitcoin (didn't decided about the topic yet) only after finishing my thesis i hope i will have a good topic to do Smiley

Completed, Great survey! Security is definitely a point we should all focus on in developing Bitcoin.

 thank you Smiley

Survey completed ! It was interesting survey though I never had any issue even before as I was already keeping my Bitcoins in different ways to secure them.Hope it will help to complete your project better way.

 thank you !!

Survey completed.

keep the coins safe and use a hardware wallet for example:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=899253.0

thanks for the link and your time. you like to see more secure and affordable hardware wallets .

The survey is really interesting and really puts the emphasis on the different ways you can go about keeping your bitcoins.

thank you that's exactly what i wanted to say in thesis a new bitcoin user should know exactly where he wants to store his first bitcoin.
  
there's an assumption here that to own bitcoins one needs a wallet, which is not the case.

it could be really useful if you can explain more ....

Grin May be sixth, seventh, twelfth options will be better if it is in check box

thanks for your feedback and time. i am afraid it can affect other answers if i change it now.


I just completed the survey. Thanks for reminding me that I've lost bitcoins due to exchange closures, wallet compromise, scams, and theft. Tongue

I personally got scammed back in 2013 while buying my first bitcoins. thank you for your time


done
I have already completed the survey and I think it's an interesting question

thank you  Smiley



Keeping it safe from hackers or any bad element may come to it. I have this feeling that it might as well be very in demand in the coming years so better keep them safe.

well it is a currency and it has value. so as long as it is worth something in fiat and it is being traded and used, you should keep it as safe as possible.
doesn't matter how much the demand is, the hackers and scammers are always at work!

exactly!! as we know we need a strong infrastructure on information security and Bitcoin is here to speed up the process . thanks for completing the survey.  

The questions was easy to answer and I like the fact that you did not need to give any personal information. Some of the first questions should have made provision for multiple answers, but the rest was good. A survey should not take up more than 5 minutes to answer, or people will lose interest.

I would have liked to see a summary of the preliminary results at the completion of the survey to judge your answer against the rest of the people who completed the survey.

I hope you will post your thesis or the result of this survey on this forum.  

Thanks for your feedback, sure the thesis will be posted even i'm interested to see what people think about wallet safety. thank you once again for your time.

Done!

 thank you Smiley


I've just completed your survey. I would also like to remind everyone that if you lose Bitcoins on a online service then it is your own fault. If you do not own the private keys, then the coins are not yours. I've never lost anything over the years (I think) and the only problematic thing would be a direct hack of my system. However, I do hope that the developers will either integrate better security options or that hardware wallets become cheaper.

 thank you for completing the survey. Hardware wallets are becoming cheaper AFAIK the Ledgerwallet H.w1 is available for 18€.

Dear fellow Bitcoiners,
I am an MBA student and currently doing my master's thesis about bitcoin wallet safety.
I have compiled a short survey of 12 questions for my thesis. The survey is completely anonymous. This survey is conducted purely for academic research purposes, it does not collect or require any personal information.
The results will be published with my thesis. My goal is to make this thesis to be useful and informative for new bitcoiners. Especially on topics of how to keep bitcoins safe and to understand the differences between bitcoin wallets.

Here is my survey link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mAaorD25qOZScIdxo3CfR278ttdu6WOaqlBf8DkSlYM/viewform?usp=send_form
                                       

Thank you for participating in this survey,
your feedback is very important for my research. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments about this survey: viknesh.pkb@gmail.com
