A survey published Feb. 15 by the German Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media (Bitkom), found that just over two thirds of Germans are aware of Bitcoin (BTC).Read more: https://cointelegraph.com/news/64-of-germans-aware-of-bitcoin-says-it-association-bitkomAwareness of the most popular cryptocurrency has doubled since 2016, when 36 percent of German citizens were familiar with Bitcoin, and quadrupled since 2013, Bitkom reports.
According to this year’s survey, 4 percent of the 1,009 respondents actually own Bitcoin, 19 percent said that they have an idea of how to buy Bitcoin, and 72 percent stated they had no interest in the digital currency.
On the economic significance of cryptocurrencies and Blockchain, Bitkom CEO Bernhard Rohleder stated:
"Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are a good example of how the digital age is able to change the financial world. This is not so much about the individual currency itself as it is about the underlying blockchain technology. It will have an impact on the whole economy.”
Of course Germans know about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is doing what Germany tried to do and so many times and failed at. Bitcoin is taking over the world!

Although many Germans may have heard of Bitcoin and many do have debit and credit cards, nonetheless, it remains the land where cash is still king. I think the population to watch for a move towards embracing cryptocurrencies are the Millennials and the generation to follow. Thanks for the post.
