Bitcoin and Facebook's Libra were sensitized by US President Donald Trump last week when he tweeted his opposition to both technologies& nbsp; but he may have inadvertently introduced the idea of bitcoin and crypto-currencies to a whole new audience.
A new study by eToro, an American broker, has revealed that while 58% of American adults have heard of bitcoin, the first and largest cryptocurrency, the balance of Facebook is already known to 16% of Internet users.– just a month after it was & nbsp;unveiled.
Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency, has only gained 12% of recognition since it went online in July 2015 and it can be badumed that smaller crypto-currencies, such as Ripple's litecoin and XRP, are even less well known.
"We believe that the crypto and blockchain technology that will underpin it will be critical to tomorrow's economy," said Guy Hirsch, eToro's US General Manager. "By introducing the concept into a new
public, the balance could play a vital role in the evolution of decentralized and more democratized finances. "
The price of bitcoins has risen so far this year, largely because of the interest in cryptocurrencies of Facebook and the world's largest technology companies.
