Week 10 is live — and with it, the conclusion of our 10-week data release. Across 25 countries, people are weighing whether bitcoin is a tool for financial freedom — or not.

We asked: What drives adoption? What holds it back? And what would it take to reach the next bitcoin users?

Key insights:

- Belief in Bitcoin’s financial freedom potential is highest in 🇳🇬 Nigeria, 🇻🇪 Venezuela, and 🇺🇦 Ukraine

- Intent to use bitcoin is strongest in 🇦🇪 UAE, 🇨🇳 China, 🇮🇳 India, and 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia

- The top motivators to own bitcoin among non-owners are more money (42%), more knowledge (35%), and easier usability (32%)

- Education and accessibility appear to matter more than regulation or reputation

Bitcoin’s path forward isn’t guaranteed — it’s shaped by perception, practicality, and participation.
