Start of project



Bitcoin awareness and use research

Interesting video on Bitcoin from Mauldin Economics



Two ideas for research
First

A longitudinal study to measure use and acceptance of Bitcoin
A surveyMonkey online questionnaire that we could run every two years push through AIS and perhaps CPA and Universities.  Focused on acceptance and knowledge (maybe TAM).

How does the knowledge of Bitcoin transfer through the levels of employment in an University e.g from Academic, administration and support and also level of discipline through disciplines, for instance from IT, Finance to Nursing.

Second idea

factors affecting success in Bitcoin mining
Maybe

  • Interface types
  • Network needs
  • IT Knowledge
  • Capital expenditure
  • Market variences
Can look at this from the same Acceptance, knowledge point of view or innovation.

Need to look at Trust also
