Reasons to own crypto in U.S. and UK

Consumers from both the U.S. as well as Great Britain mentioned that supporting blockchain developments were not a major motivation to own cryptocurrency. Rather, the survey respondents were more motivated by growth prospects or to own digital currencies just for the fun of it. Plenty of cryptocurrencies witnessed significant price increase in 2021, with Bitcoin (BTC) naturally the coin that hit the news the most. The price of Ethereum (ETH) and the price of another popular cryptocurrency called Ripple (XRP), however, also grew substantially over the course of this time period.
