40% of young Koreans enthusiastic about cryptocurrences according to the Central Bank of South Korea survey

According to a survey conducted by the Central Bank of South Korea, up to 40% of young Koreans are enthusiastic about having cryptocurrencies.

The survey was conducted between September and November last year on a small sample of 25,011 people over 19 years of age. We learn from him that every fifth (21.6%) citizen of this country is familiar with the technology of cryptocurrencies.

These values ​​grow when we analyze representatives of the younger generation, amounting to 29.4% and 40.3% respectively for 20- and 30-year-olds. In the case of older people, this ratio was significantly lower - respectively 5.7% and 2.2% among Koreans over 60 and 70 years old.

The willingness to invest in cryptocurrencies was expressed by 24.2% of Koreans between 20 and 30 years of age. In the 30-40 age group, this ratio was 20.1%.

We received a bit more balanced data analyzing the percentage of people who declared having any amount of cryptocurrencies - 5.2% of all respondents

Once again, this value increased in the case of younger participants of the study, reaching the highest (9,4%) level among 30-year-olds and a little lower (6,2%) among 20-year-olds.

According to the survey, Koreans have cryptocurrencies mainly for investment purposes, as declared by 86.7% of all respondents taking part in the survey.

The Central Bank of South Korea survey also revealed that the awareness of cryptocurrency technology is growing among social groups that can boast a higher level of income. Interestingly, however, Koreans with relatively low incomes - below 20 million South Korean won annually (about 18 600 dollars) - declare that they would like to invest the most in cryptocurrencies.
