Familiarity in the Netherlands with alternative digital currencies in 2017

This statistic shows the answers to a survey question about the familiarity in the Netherlands with alternative digital currencies in 2017. In early 2017, ten percent of the respondents indicated they had not heard of this topic before. Bitcoin is a so-called cryptocurrency, a digital currency that uses blockchain technology as a means of security. Because of its design, however, it is difficult to get an insight in the complete size of the Bitcoin market in individual countries. In the first three quarters of 2017, there were approximately 44,000 trading transactions in Bitcoin in the Netherlands.

本统计数据显示了2017年荷兰受访者对于替代数字货币熟悉程度的调查结果。2017年初，有百分之十的受访者表示在此之前未曾听闻此话题。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。然而，由于其设计特性，在个别国家中获取比特币市场的完整规模信息变得相当困难。在2017年的前三个季度，荷兰的比特币交易量约为44,000笔。
