08:56:04 <midipoet> rucknium: that is really helpful - thanks again. 
08:56:22 <midipoet> looking into those reports, i found this pretty interesting table in the 2023 report (the latest one)

11:53:28 <m-relay> <b​asses:matrix.org> here's the pic
12:02:36 <m-relay> <m​onero.arbo:matrix.org> 2021 was the last bull market top. 2022 was all red and sentiment in 2023 was still pretty negative despite the relative recovery as we were still pretty far down from the ATH at the end of 2023
12:03:18 <m-relay> <m​onero.arbo:matrix.org> all to say it makes sense that the proportion of people responding that it's an investment would crater
12:03:49 <m-relay> <m​onero.arbo:matrix.org> going from 0.3 to 2.3% re: anon payments seems big though
15:29:36 <m-relay> <r​ucknium:monero.social> More data analysis from more surveys is here:

16:04:00 <m-relay> <c​haser:monero.social> to what extent do you think these survey results are indicative of reality? I suspect the absolute values to be very unreliable for our purpose (gauging Monero adoption). most people who use crypto for anonymous payments probably steer clear of these surveys, and even if they don't, they probably self-censor out of caution.
16:07:25 <m-relay> <r​ucknium:monero.social> chaser: I did some basic data quality checks on some of the data here: https://rucknium.me/posts/financial-marginalization-and-cryptocurrency-payments/#sanity-checks-on-data-quality
16:07:48 <m-relay> <r​ucknium:monero.social> It's probably less reliable on the privacy-sensitive questions.
16:13:01 <m-relay> <b​asses:matrix.org> it would be interesting to see “Don’t trust banks/government/USD” chart in 2025.
16:13:40 <m-relay> <b​asses:matrix.org> 2024 for banks/govs and 2025 for USD 👀
