Shocking Survey Claims 80% of Americans Want U.S. to Swap Gold for Bitcoin!

Holy smokes! The Nakamoto Project just dropped a bombshell of a survey that's got everyone talking. They're saying a whopping 8 out of 10 Americans are down for the U.S. to trade in some of its gold reserves for Bitcoin. Can you believe it?

This U.S. crypto reserve drama is getting wilder by the minute. The Nakamoto Project, a crew of Bitcoin fanatics, dropped this bombshell on May 20. They're claiming a quarter of Americans are ready to see the U.S. convert its gold into Bitcoin. But hold up, folks are already questioning how they got these numbers.

Troy Cross, the head honcho at the Nakamoto Project, spilled the beans on their method. They polled 3,345 people, making sure to match U.S. census demographics like age, gender, and race. They wanted to make sure their results were legit.

They asked folks, "What percentage of gold reserves should the U.S. convert into Bitcoin?" and let them slide a bar between 0% and 100% to pick their answer.

The exact question was, "Assuming the United States was thinking of converting some of their gold reserve into Bitcoin, what percentage would you advise they convert?"

Bitcoin reserve survey criticized for leading question

But wait, the crypto world is up in arms over the survey's design. People are saying the slider was a sneaky move and that a simple yes-or-no question would've been fairer. Jan Wüstenfeld from Melanion GreenTech called it "unfortunate."

Wüstenfeld blasted, "You framed it in a way that practically forced people to pick a number higher than zero. You even admitted it yourself: People don't like setting a slider to zero."

Troy Cross from the Nakamoto Project owned up to the framing, but argued the survey still gave us some juicy insights. Like how younger folks wanted bigger chunks of gold turned into Bitcoin, while women were more cautious than men.
