Leading reasons consumers Netherlands not to own cryptocurrencies 2018, by age group

This statistic shows the answers to a survey question about the leading reasons for consumers in the Netherlands not to own cryptocurrencies as of 2018, by age group. Respondents from the age group between 18 and 34 years old (14 percent) indicated they had no knowledge about digital currencies, more than the age groups of 35-49 years old (nine percent) and 50 years and older (eight percent). Bitcoin is a so-called cryptocurrency, a digital currency that uses blockchain technology as a means of security. Because of its design, it is difficult to get an insight in the full size of the Bitcoin market in individual countries. Because Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies reached the news often in 2017, approximately 60 percent of the households in the Netherlands who invest in cryptocurrencies started doing so in 2017. In the first three quarters of 2017, there were approximately 44,000 transactions in Bitcoin from the Netherlands on a trading platform called BTC Direct. In addition, Belgium and the Netherlands have several Bitcoin ATM installations.

本统计数据显示了截至2018年，荷兰消费者不持有加密货币的主要理由调查问卷的答案，按年龄段划分。18至34岁年龄段的受访者（占14%）表示他们缺乏对数字货币的了解，这一比例高于35至49岁年龄段（占9%）以及50岁及以上年龄段（占8%）。比特币作为一种所谓的加密货币，是一种利用区块链技术作为安全手段的数字货币。由于其设计特性，难以对个别国家比特币市场的整体规模进行深入了解。由于比特币及其他加密货币在2017年频繁出现在新闻报道中，大约60%的荷兰家庭在2017年开始投资加密货币。在2017年的前三个季度，荷兰在一家名为BTC Direct的交易平台上进行的比特币交易量约为44,000笔。此外，比利时和荷兰还安装了数台比特币自动取款机。
