Bitcoin Awareness and Usage in Canada

This paper presents nationally representative evidence on Bitcoin awareness and ownership in Canada, revealing that while 64% of Canadians have heard of Bitcoin, only 4% actually own it. Authors also show that awareness and ownership are linked to distinct demographic factors, and that higher knowledge levels correlate with greater adoption, offering insights for improving future digital currency surveys.
