How does cryptocurrency work? Are people using it, and if so, who? We wanted to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who already understand how cryptocurrency works may have been watching the news closely as of late: in late July, Amazon published a new job posting. This, in and of itself, is not overly interesting or surprising. What is interesting is what the job is for: a digital currency and blockchain product lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many believe that this job posting indicates that, at a minimum, Amazon is interested in expanding its cryptocurrency knowledge base. But despite the rumours, the company doesn\u2019t currently accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment. It has also not confirmed that it plans to do so in the future.<sup>1<\/sup> Cryptocurrency is also finding its way into the mainstream in other places. In late July, the Circle K chain of convenience stores also announced plans to implement Bitcoin Depot ATMs at their Canadian and American locations.<sup>2<\/sup> At these kiosks, people can exchange fiat currency for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Several-types-of-cryptocurrency-on-top-of-a-smartphone.jpg\" alt=\"Several types of cryptocurrency on top of a smartphone\" class=\"wp-image-5058\" width=\"601\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Several-types-of-cryptocurrency-on-top-of-a-smartphone.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Several-types-of-cryptocurrency-on-top-of-a-smartphone-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Several-types-of-cryptocurrency-on-top-of-a-smartphone-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW DOES CRYPTOCURRENCY WORK? A (VERY SIMPLIFIED) OVERVIEW<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re not cryptocurrency experts, and we can only explain so much in a short blog, but here is a brief overview if you\u2019re wondering\u2026How <em>does<\/em> cryptocurrency work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that you can buy and sell online. It is independent from banks and governments and works using a decentralized technology called blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With traditional purchases, the buyer\u2019s bank records the money being deducted from their account, and the seller\u2019s bank records the money being deposited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With blockchain, when a purchase is made using cryptocurrency, a common online ledger (in this case, a chain of blocks) records all transactions and enables them to be chained together over time. Furthermore, no central authority is needed to maintain the ledger, as it is distributed across multiple computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When new transactions are added, cryptocurrency miners race to validate the information by solving numeric problems. If they are the first to do so (and they\u2019ve verified a certain number of transactions), they can also earn cryptocurrency. There are multiple kinds of cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Polkadot, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHO USES CRYPTOCURRENCY?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to exploring how cryptocurrency works, we were also interested in how popular it is and who uses it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our survey revealed that 8% of Canadians and 14% of Americans use (i.e. buy, sell, trade, etc.) cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cyptocurrency_EN_LEO-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Usage Among Canadians and Americans\" class=\"wp-image-5117\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cyptocurrency_EN_LEO-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cyptocurrency_EN_LEO-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cyptocurrency_EN_LEO-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cyptocurrency_EN_LEO-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cyptocurrency_EN_LEO-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cyptocurrency_EN_LEO.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following groups of people are more likely to say they use cryptocurrency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Canadian and American men<\/li><li>Canadians aged 18-34 and Americans aged 30-39<\/li><li>Canadians and Americans whose household income is over $100,000 per year<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will be interesting to see whether cryptocurrency continues to gain momentum or fades into the darkness with other passing trends in the coming weeks, months and years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">DO YOU THINK CRYPTOCURRENCY IS THE NEXT BEST THING, OR OVERRATED?

The data was analyzed and weighted by our statisticians using 2016 Census reference variables (for the Canadian data) and 2010 US Census reference variables (for the American data) to render it representative of the opinions of Canadians and Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>LEO is not affiliated with any of the cryptocurrency companies mentioned in this article.&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Sources<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><sup>1<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/07\/26\/investing\/amazon-cryptocurrency-job-posting\/index.html\">https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/07\/26\/investing\/amazon-cryptocurrency-job-posting\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><sup>2<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/circle-k-deploys-bitcoin-atms-in-stores-across-us-and-canada-over-700-machines-already-installed\/\">https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/circle-k-deploys-bitcoin-atms-in-stores-across-us-and-canada-over-700-machines-already-installed\/<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/blog.legeropinion.com\/en\/surveys\/how-does-cryptocurrency-work-and-who-uses-it\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"reverse_time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is cryptocurrency?
