Purpose: Bitcoin, the most prominent among cryptocurrencies, is a peer-to-peer (“P2P”) electronic currency and payment system used based on mutual trust. The study aims to measure awareness of Bitcoin, which has recently become popular among investors with its rapidly increasing use. To this end, a questionnaire was applied to the participants to evaluate their opinions and preferences regarding Bitcoin. With this purpose in mind, a questionnaire was applied to the academics of Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University in Turkey. Methodology: In the process of analysing the obtained data, frequency analysis and the chi-square test method were used by using the SPSS 26.0 software package. Results: According to the results of the study, it was observed that 51.6% of the academics (159 persons) had knowledge of Bitcoin, and while 31.5% of the academics participating in the study (97 persons) considered they would buy Bitcoin within five years, 57% (176 persons) conceived the use of Bitcoin would increase within ten years. Despite all these positive attitudes, it was also observed that 45.5% (140 people) considered Bitcoin as unreliable and 51.6% (159 persons) would prefer gold instead of using Bitcoin. As for the opinion of academics, it was concluded that gold and other different investment tools would be preferred instead of Bitcoin despite its increasing use. Conclusion: This research is important as it is the first research study in the field, which means that no similar study has been conducted in Turkey before, and it is thus expected to greatly contribute to the literature within the context of the importance and originality of the study.

“…According to Arli et al (2021), a vast amount of research on cryptocurrencies has been conducted in technology and business, and studies devoted to trust are rare. Two important exceptions are the studies carried out by Marella et al (2020) and Steinmetz et al (2021). The former examined online discussions related to Bitcoin and identified functionality, reliability, and helpfulness as the main constructs.…”

PurposeCryptocurrencies put consumers at the heart of a potential revolution by shifting central authority to a distributed peer-to-peer monetary system. This study aims to perform a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis within the topic of cryptocurrencies and consumer trust.Design/methodology/approachThe Web of Science database has been selected, and the analyses performed allowed us to identify five research trends obtained from the bibliographic coupling analysis: (1) Understanding consumer's (non)acceptance of cryptocurrencies, (2) Ethical aspects and trust in cryptocurrencies, (3) Blockchain technology as a trust-free technology, (4) The blockchain/trust economy, and (5) Blockchain technology: challenging trust.FindingsFindings uncover the intellectual structure in the field of cryptocurrencies and consumers' trust and offer insights on the pros and cons of consumers' willingness to trust the digital currency.Originality/valueThe study proved a great gap in the current literature in linking cryptocurrencies and trust theories in a consumer context. The authors also outline several gaps that allowed us to propose future research guidelines.

“…En ce qui concerne la question de savoir si les cryptomonnaies peuvent remplacer l'argent liquide ou les cartes de débit à l'avenir, l'étude de la Deutsche Bank montre que parmi les répondants des États-Unis, du Royaume-Uni, de la France, de l'Italie et de l'Allemagne, 27 % (argent liquide) / 25 % (carte de débit) le pensent, tandis que 44 % / 46 % ne sont pas d'accord. En revanche, 44 % / 44 % des répondants chinois sont d'accord avec ces affirmations, tandis que seulement 27 % / 26 % ne sont pas d'accord(Laboure et Reid, 2020) Steinmetz et al (2021). ont soulevé des éléments concernant notamment les facteurs qui peuvent favoriser la confiance.…”

Mieux comprendre le niveau d’adoption Des cryptoactifs au Québec

Les cryptoactifs se développent de façon exponentielle au sein de l’économie mondiale. Les cryptomonnaies représentent la principale composante des cryptoactifs dont la plus connue est le Bitcoin. Les cryptoactifs partagent bon nombre des caractéristiques des cryptomonnaies mais il y a généralement une deuxième couche de fonctionnalités comme les contrats intelligents. La technologie liée aux cryptoactifs présente certes de nouvelles opportunités mais également des risques. Dans ce contexte, il est important, pour un régulateur de mieux comprendre le niveau d’adoption des cryptomonnaies de la population afin d’orienter les campagnes d’information et les messages de mise en garde. Dans ce projet de recherche exploratoire plusieurs méthodes d’acquisition de données ont été utilisées. Une revue des enquêtes de différentes organisations sur le niveau de connaissance et le profil des utilisateurs de cryptoactifs dans plusieurs pays a été mené. Pour le Québec, des questions spécifiques sur la connaissance et l’adoption des cryptomonnaies ont été ajoutées aux enquêtes 2021 et 2022 du Baromètre CIRANO qui sonde la population du Québec sur des enjeux de société. Afin d’affiner l’analyse, un échantillon d’investisseurs possédant ou ayant possédé des cryptomonnaies, membres de groupes de discussion sur les cryptomonnaies a été sondé. Enfin, une revue algorithmique a montré très nettement une augmentation du nombre de publications académiques sur le sujet, notamment associées à la technologie. De plus, le sujet des cryptomonnaies a été de plus en plus couvert par les médias grand public, ce qui a suscité l'attention et la sensibilisation de la population et notamment sur les réseaux sociaux. L’analyse des conversations sur Twitter a montré que le nombre de gazouillis, qui était stable jusqu’en décembre 2020, a augmenté de façon importante et a porté sur la variation du prix des cryptomonnaies et souvent avec des recommandations d’achat et de vente.
