The survey showed that the majority of US investors who own cryptocurrencies are between 18 and 49 years old, with the male population having the highest tendency to acquire the digital currency. Likewise, the consultation evidenced the existing gap between investors who obtain more capital: they prefer the stability of the fiat currency than the fluctuating growth of cryptocurrencies. Most see crypts as a risk.
A survey conducted by Wells Fargo / Gallup revealed that only 2% of investors in the United States have bitcoins among their assets, a finding that, according to the optimists of the cryptographic ecosystem, shows a huge potential of the currency, while the most critical They consider that the result is a disappointment.
However, interest in Bitcoin remains high: 26% of US investors surveyed said they were intrigued by the cryptocurrency, although less than 0.5% of respondents indicated that they will buy it in the near future.
According to the survey, one of the factors that potentially impedes investment in the cryptocurrency is the perceived risk of trading with it. According to the query, 75% of investors in the US consider Bitcoin to be a very risky asset.

Only 2% of the respondents answered that the trade with the digital currency was not too risky, while a negligible number argued that it was not risky at all. The entry of younger investors could, however, change the situation in the future.
"But, as the Wells Fargo / Gallup polls conducted in the past have shown, most US investors prefer to play safe with their investments, preferring stability over growth," wrote Lydia Saad, Gallup's senior editor, at a report and add:
Looking to the future, however, there are many younger investors who say they are currently intrigued; These can become the majority of investors once the currency becomes more conventional. "
