Supplementary notes

As of early 2021, no newer version of the survey was available and no immediate outlook of when this arrives. Later reports refer to a "2019 Bitcoin Omnibus Survey" which is the same survey as listed here - "2019" there refers to the publication date, not the survey version.

The source mentions that respondents "match the 2016 Canadian Census, with respect to the following demographics: age, gender, region, education, marital status, employment, and income."

The source does not provide information on the original wording used during the survey. Thus, the wording chosen for this statistic may differ slightly from the one in the survey.
