工业化经济体的金融机构中的许多人都对比特币和其他加密货币持怀疑态度，认为这是一种投机性和高度波动的趋势，只能以糟糕的方式结束。
美国和欧洲监管机构已就加密交易的风险发出可怕警告。在中国，监管机构严厉打击加密货币挖矿，迫使加密货币公司关闭业务。
不过，在欠发达国家，有迹象表明加密货币正在悄悄建立更深层次的联系。特别是在有金融脆弱性历史或越来越无法使用银行账户等传统支付服务的国家，加密货币的使用正迅速成为日常生活的一部分。

60% 的尼日利亚人对比特币的未来持乐观态度（金融时报）。
根据数字支付公司 Block Inc. 进行的一项调查，受访者评估自己对比特币的了解程度越高，他们对比特币的未来就越抱有希望。
调查还发现，与西方人相比，欠发达国家的人对加密货币的未来更加乐观。

例如，尼日利亚人 (60%)、印度人 (58%) 和越南人 (56%) 对比特币的未来最为乐观。
分别只有 29% 的美国人和 22% 的德国人对加密货币的未来充满希望。这与较贫穷国家普遍存在的乐观情绪形成鲜明对比。
收入较低的人，无论他们住在世界的哪个地方，都承认比特币作为支付基础设施的价值，将其视为汇款和购买产品和服务的一种方式。
这些结果并不意外，因为尼日利亚、印度和越南在 Chainalysis 2021 年全球加密货币采用指数中也名列前茅。
根据 Chainalysis GCAI 2021 调查，包括上述国家在内的许多新兴市场国家在其指数中排名靠前，这在很大程度上是由于点对点 (P2P) 网络上的大量交易。

根据对这些国家专家的采访，大量公民将点对点加密货币交易所作为进入加密市场的主要切入点，通常是因为他们无法访问集中式交易所。

与此同时，比特币是整体和跨地区最知名的加密货币，88% 的受访者听说过它，是听说过其他加密货币的 43% 的两倍。
