“…According to the TAM, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness significantly impact user attitudes towards new technologies, with intention determined by a person's favourable or unfavourable feelings concerning the technology (Mnif et al, 2021). The TAM has been empirically validated as an instrument for predicting technology use by various researchers (Larasati & Santosa, 2017;Xie et al, 2017;Talwar et al, 2020), and it has also been used successfully in several studies investigating the factors responsible for cryptocurrency adoption (Mendoza-Tello et al, 2019;Alqaryouti et al, 2019;Albayati et al, 2020;Namahoot & Rattanawiboonsom, 2022;Silva et al, 2023). This study uses the TAM proposed by Davis (1989) because it enables investigation into the effect of the antecedents of technology awareness, attitude and motivational factors on the outcome variable of behavioural intention.…”
