How low is the proportion of people investing in Bitcoin in Russia? Only 2%

According to a recent survey released by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) on April 9, only 2% of Russians currently invest in Bitcoin (BTC).

VTsIOM is Russia's oldest polling agency after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The agency revealed that Bitcoin is not popular in Russia. Two-thirds of Russians consider this cryptocurrency to be a very bad investment option.

However, in this report, the research center did not provide a time frame for the survey, nor did it provide the total number of people involved in the survey (the details of the survey process were rather vague).

According to the survey, 56% of Russians claim that they know Bitcoin, and 18% say they have only heard of Bitcoin. However, only 12% of people who know Bitcoin say that Bitcoin is banned in Russia.

However, by the end of 2018, the bill passed before was returned to the first review stage. There are also reports that the bill lacks a concept for cryptocurrency mining.
