Netherlands: average minutes spent per day on cryptocurrencies, by age group 2018

This statistic shows the answers to a survey question about the average minutes spent per day on cryptocurrencies in the Netherlands as of 2018. On average, Dutch consumers with cryptocurrencies spent 25 minutes per day either trading or talking about cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is a so-called cryptocurrency, a digital currency that uses blockchain technology as a means of security. Because of its design, it is difficult to get an insight in the full size of the Bitcoin market in individual countries. Because Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies reached the news often in 2017, approximately 60 percent of the households in the Netherlands who invest in cryptocurrencies started doing so in 2017. In the first three quarters of 2017, there were approximately 44,000 transactions in Bitcoin from the Netherlands on a trading platform called BTC Direct. In addition, Belgium and the Netherlands have several Bitcoin ATM installations.
