The Biggest Barrier Preventing Online Investors From Purchasing Cryptocurrency

[Zed0X]

Lack of good educational resources - that is the biggest barrier preventing online investors from purchasing cryptocurrency according to this article from CCN.

eToro’s managing director Guy Hirsch said of the survey:

Late 2018 has seen the cryptocurrency market take a huge tumble, but that has not stymied investors’ interest in the asset class and its potential. Online investors are still keeping their eye on cryptocurrencies, but this survey revealed that there is a serious lack of educational resources available to those who would like to invest in or learn more about crypto. As we move toward a future where assets will become increasingly tokenized, it’s important to give investors access to the resources they need to invest in the assets they want and truly consider cryptoassets as part of their long-term investment plan.

Once again, the importance of education for crypto mass adoption has been highlighted in the survey conducted. Let's try to help spread the word about crypto. We will all benefit from it.

Education has always played an important role towards mass adoption of any product. Just take computers or cellular phones as good example.

That barrier may soon be broken since I see more platforms now focusing on education.

Well a lot of universites are having classes on blockchain. I think the most important thing is to get older people involved in the crypto space. Many don't understand it or are outright resistant to it.

It is true that the lack of education about crypto greatly hampers the emergence of investors who want to invest in crypto, I hope that many people will understand the importance and benefits of investing in crypto.

No doubt about it. Up until now, some friends of mine are still asking questions like "what is bitcoin?" and "how can I earn in bitcoin"?
This just shows that we are still at an early stage despite bitcoin being 10 years old already.
