TRX Study claims 61% of Americans want to learn about Bitcoin, 74% distrust dollar
A post on r/Bitcoin cites a landmark national study claiming 74% of Americans no longer trust the U.S. dollar to hold its value and 61% want to learn more about owning Bitcoin. The post also says the study found the "Digital Gold" framing ranks near the bottom in voter focus groups, more than half of voters don't know they can buy BTC through major brokerages, and everyday people trust friends, family and local advisors over billionaire CEOs or politicians.
