In countries with authoritarian governments, currency controls, and failing banks, Bitcoin offers something different: an exit.
The Cornell Bitcoin Club is studying this across 25 countries. The Hodari Fund is demonstrating it in the DRC. Circular economies are emerging in Nigeria and Kenya.
Bitcoin Culture Hub exists to connect these movements, share these stories, and coordinate the people making it happen.

Week 10: Across 25 countries, people are weighing whether bitcoin is a tool for financial freedom, or not. We surveyed our respondents to understand what drives adoption - and what holds it back.
This week, we close our 10-week data release with the big question:
What would it take to reach the next bitcoin users? 🧵👇

What’s holding people back?
Among non-owners, these are the top reasons that would make them more likely to use bitcoin:
💰Top motivators:
- “If I had more money” (42%)
- “If I knew more about how it works” (35%)
- “If it were easier to use” (32%)
🧊 Lower-ranked barriers:
- Environmental concerns (7%)
- Tax complexity (13%)
- Criminal reputation (14%)
📌Key friction: Education and usability could matter more than regulation or reputation.

Conclusion: Adoption Hinges on Trust, Utility, and Access
Bitcoin’s future isn’t just about tech—it’s about perception, purpose, and practicality.
🌐 In countries facing economic instability, bitcoin is seen as a lifeline.
🧠 In wealthier or more regulated markets, skepticism reigns.
📌 Overall takeaway: To drive adoption, focus on education, ease of use, and real-world utility.

In Week 8, we looked at perceptions of bitcoin’s future.
This week, we focus on how people see bitcoin today: its accessibility, security, and readiness.
Across 25 countries, the data paints a picture of hesitation, uncertainty, and opportunity.

📚 Readiness & Support
When asked about knowledge and resources:
🔸34% said bitcoin is difficult to understand
🔸19% felt they had the necessary knowledge to use it
🔸18% felt they had the necessary resources to use it

🧭 Overall Takeaway
Perceptions of bitcoin today remain cautious:
🔸Usability concerns limit confidence in everyday use
🔸Security perceptions are marked more by uncertainty than rejection
🔸Many people feel they lack the knowledge or resources to participate.
The data suggests that more education, usability improvements, and accessible onramps may additionally impact bitcoin’s global adoption.
