@Eochaid I take a rather relaxed view of the demos... Take a look at the figures and see what percentage of the population say they don't know what Bitcoin is. And I don't think there's any change where you won't find any "opponents". Wait and see what happens at ground zero
@Eochaid The question is always what "knowing" means. How is this defined in the study? I suspect that it was measured via self-reports. The fact that price stability is a counterargument shows that many of the respondents are not "in the know". After all, the stability of the Bitcoin network increases the more people use the network. So the higher the adoption, the better the network becomes. This is called network effects. Limitations of studies are almost never mentioned in such publications. You would have to look directly at the paper. However, self-report would be quite a big limitation here, as many people tend to overestimate themselves, for example in terms of their understanding of new technologies.
