Seventy-three percent of U.K. consumers don’t know what a cryptocurrency is or are unable to define it, according to a new survey from the country’s financial watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Announced Thursday, the research indicates that those who are most aware of cryptocurrencies are likely to be men aged between 20 and 44.
The survey, which polled 2,132 British consumers in association with London-based market research firm Kantar TNS, further found that only 3 percent of those surveyed had ever bought cryptocurrencies.

For me personally quite astonishing information, given the fact that it is one of the most developed countries in the world or in top 5 largest world economy. I assume the information is available to people, but maybe UK media is not forcing too much things which are related to cryptocurrency? Is it factor of relatively favorable financial security in the world's top countries reason why people are not overly interested is something like bitcoin?
Data shows that UK have 200+ crypto ATMs at this moment, and it is on 4 place by number of ATMs in the world.
