Reddit post asks what objections keep savers from buying Bitcoin
A Reddit post by a financial engineering grad student at Stevens says they have been asking regular savers about Bitcoin for a project and that many do not own any. The post cites JPMorgan selling five-year notes tied to Bitcoin, options on BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF listed out to January 2029, and a Gallup finding from June that only 9% of American adults own any crypto, down from 14% the year before.
