Methodology

• This survey was conducted by Ipsos on behalf of the Centre for International Governance Innovation
(“CIGI”) between December 23, 2016, and March 21, 2017.
• The survey was conducted in 24 economies—Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany,
Great Britain, Hong Kong (China), India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Poland,
South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States—and involved 24,225 Internet
users.
• Twenty of the countries utilized the Ipsos Internet panel system while Tunisia was conducted via CATI, and
Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan utilized face-to-face interviewing, given online constraints in these countries
and the length
• In the US and Canada respondents were aged 18-64, and 16-64 in all other countries.
• Approximately 1000+ individuals were surveyed in each country and are weighted to match the population
in each country surveyed. The precision of Ipsos online polls is calculated using a credibility interval. In this
case, a poll of 1,000 is accurate to +/- 3.5 percentage points. For those surveys conducted by CATI and
face-to-face, the margin of error is +/-3.1, 19 times out of 20.

Q30. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are a new way to conduct financial transactions in a way that is very hard to track. The price of these
currencies can be volatile. Yet transactions using cryptocurrencies avoid many of the fees imposed by large financial institutions, leaving
more money in a person’s pocket. At the same time, they can also be used by criminals to launder money and illegally trade in guns, drugs or
other illicit goods and services. How likely are you to use a cryptocurrency in the next year? Base: All Respondents (n=20,084) 233
There is greater propensity to consider using cryptocurrencies in the Middle-East
