Bitcoin: in Italy many talk about it, but few actually know it

Di Bitcoin there has been a lot of talk for years now. A discussion initially limited to specialists, which, however, with the explosion of its listing, has spread more and more even among those who are continuously looking for investment opportunities.
A trend, the speculative one, which has been asserting itself in a disruptive way over the past few months, putting in second place the purpose for which BTC was launched, namely to represent one tool that can serve as an ideal fuel for online transactions. However, a function that the coin attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto is not able to perform at its best, as recently recalled by Samson Mow, Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of Blockstream and founder of the cryptocurrency exchange BTCC. The queen of virtual uniforms, in fact, suffers from a series of technical problems such as to excessively slow down the validation operations during the transactions.

In Italy it is a small minority to use Bitcoin

A recent study conducted on a global scale by Kaspersky Lab, entitled "Uncharted territory: why consumers are still wary about adopting cryptocurrency", revealed how in Italy 36% of people have heard of Bitcoin and know what it actually is. If these people know the basics, it should be stressed how just 8% know how cryptocurrencies work in general and BTC in particular.
Also in our country, 81% of the adult population has never carried out operations using virtual uniforms and consequently does not know their real functioning. Also among those who are knowledgeable about digital assets, a third party claims that he has no intention of using them precisely because it believes that the mechanism on which they are based is too complicated.

Security issues

Another problem that seems to drive many people away from the digital economy is then represented by the safety. In this case, not only negative opinions from the traditional financial world act as a deterrent, which, moreover, are diminishing with the passage of time, but also the experience lived by those who have already made transactions in BTC, being however the victim of computer frauds, in particular running into fake wallets, or electronic wallets created to art to steal money from the unfortunate. An aspect that continues to slow down the spread of cryptocurrencies and that could continue to operate as a ballast at least until it is possible to ensure greater guarantees to possible investors.

Stability

Finally, the discourse related to the system stability of Bitcoin. For those who consider it a reserve of alternative value, the abrupt ups and downs of which the token is the protagonist can represent an incentive, especially where you know how to juggle the difficulties proposed by the market. An attraction that does not exist for those who would like to use it as a payment instrument, as indeed shown by the data of the Kaspersky Lab report relating to the percentage of people who claim to be able to consider the idea of use it only once Bitcoin has achieved some stability, which arrives at Present in several = 49%.
