Today we're releasing a new national research survey with
@Cygnal and Neighborhood Bitcoin on how Americans respond to Bitcoin messaging.
Our findings:
-> 94% of registered voters had heard of Bitcoin, and 61% wanted to know more about owning Bitcoin. Moreover
-> 74% had little to no trust that the dollar would retain its value in the years ahead.
-> The most persuasive messages are the ones that answer people's actual concerns.
-> Messages about personal control and starting small, like "you decide how much, even if that's just $10," performed best.
-> Messages built on industry framing performed worst. "Digital gold" confused focus group participants and ranked near the bottom of all 19 messages tested.
-> The most trusted sources of Bitcoin information are not media figures or executives. Respondents said they would trust a financial advisor they have worked with (33%), a retirement planning expert (25%), or a friend or family member who owns Bitcoin (23%) ahead of any public figure.
The messaging worked: After reading the tested messages, the share of respondents who said they were not interested in Bitcoin at all fell from 39% to 32%, and the share who were very or extremely interested rose from 19% to 24%.
