Bitcoin investments among users of Italy's GimmeLike 2021

According to a small domestic survey held in Italy, most people were not that interested in investing in Bitcoin in 2021. On the other hand, roughly four out of 10 respondents did want to potentially look into the cryptocurrency but were not sure how. Nevertheless, the survey results led the source to believe that consumer investments in cryptocurrency did not have a breakthrough yet in the Mediterranean country, or, as phrased by the source in Italian: "l’acquisto delle criptovalute non ha ancora sfondato". This is reinforced when combining consumer survey results on cryptocurrency adoption from 55 different countries worldwide: Italian consumers were among the least likely ones to own any type of digital currency. However, Italian companies were likely to accept cryptocurrencies as a payment method. This might be due to how relatively expensive the country's payment system is, and cryptocurrency could be a viable alternative for some.
