so an interesting thing is that since we
00:00:01
started collecting this data in early
00:00:03
2023 it has steadily increased but
00:00:06
there's some really interesting
00:00:07
asymmetries in it so for example people
00:00:09
are far more willing to pay in
00:00:11
cryptocurrency than they are willing to
00:00:13
be paid in cryptocurrency that tells you
00:00:15
that there's still some wobbliness in
00:00:17
there even if they say they're very
00:00:19
confident in it I think that when we get
00:00:21
to the point where consumers say okay
00:00:23
it's okay for me to receive my wages in
00:00:26
cryptocurrency then we're seeing really
00:00:28
strong level of confidence this is a
00:00:30
legitimate way to exchange value people
00:00:33
still do recognize that it's extremely
00:00:35
volatile but some of them find that
00:00:37
exciting and I would say that is
00:00:38
probably the core finding if we were to
00:00:41
step back from our data as a whole we
00:00:42
would say there's massive heterogeneity
00:00:44
in people's perceptions
