— Exeno - Buy by Crypto (@ExenoOfficial) June 21, 2021

The respondents were asked about their focuses and strategies in crypto investing, most important goals of putting money in crypto, as well as about their opinions about the present state of affairs regarding retail crypto usage.

Hundreds of crypto owners shared their views with Exeno. Two thirds of them gave a positive answer on the question about whether they are ready to buy goods ‘such as smartphones, tablets, computers, games consoles’ with cryptocurrencies. 65% of respondents answered ‘Yes’ while 32% are still not ready to buy with crypto.

It’s interesting that people shared different opinions on why they are not planning to spend their crypto. Mostly, they stick to the ‘HODL’ strategy as they are sure that the value of their allocations will increase. This strategy was chosen by 23% of those who answered. Moreover, 6% of crypto owners are going to hold their assets until retirement as they treat them as a reliable long-term investment tool.

While describing their primary targets of buying crypto, people shared mixed opinions. 51% of them are accumulating crypto for extra profits while 50% treat digital assets as a passive income instrument; people were allowed to give more than one answer. 

The advocates of spending crypto on goods also have mixed motivations. Mostly, they are excited by the convenience of crypto for large-scale purchasing: 21% of those who answered treat crypto as an instrument for ‘big deals’. It looks predictable as crypto allows to prevent large transactions from being tracked by tax watchdogs and other regulatory bodies. Meanwhile, 28% are treating digital coins as just another way to spend money. 17% noticed that buying goods with crypto implies zero extra fees (card service fees, VAT, etc.) and therefore looks profitable.

Also, 32% of respondents are using cryptocurrencies as their retirement saving instruments while 10% of crypto owners are ambitious enough to plan purchasing luxury goods with digital coins.

Real estate, cars, yachts: Spending crypto in 2021

The most exciting part of the survey covered the categories of goods crypto holders are ready to buy with their ‘Magic Internet Money’. Surprisingly, luxurious swag isn’t the champion of this race: more than half of respondents are interested in buying real estate objects with their tokens.

45% of crypto advocates are interested in purchasing cars with crypto while 33% wouldn’t mind buying electronic devices. 12% of holders expressed the interest in buying yachts with their crypto bags.

Those who choose the ‘Other’ category shared that they are ready to spend their crypto on groceries or pay for travel expenses. Also, some crypto maximalists answered that they are ready to buy ‘everything’ with digital assets.

What stops strong hands from buying with crypto?

Being a part of a team of cutting-edge crypto-focused businesses, Exeno researchers attempted to indicate the main barriers that prevent retail customers from buying goods with crypto. 

Predictably, a mediocre level of crypto adoption by top retailers was named as the most cumbersome barrier. 36% of respondents answered that cryptocurrencies are not accepted in the most popular online marketplaces.

24% of crypto holders find the procedure of buying goods with crypto irritating and complicated. For 19% of respondents, exchange rates in crypto-friendly markets are unfavorable; so are transactional fees for 14% of crypto holders. That’s why only 22% of respondents actually have an experience of buying goods with crypto.

At the same time, the lion's share of respondents are interested in both increasing crypto allocation and starting to buy goods with digital coins in a short-to-mid-term perspective. 46% of respondents are going to start buying goods with crypto in next year, while 64% of holders shared their plans to increase their cryptocurrency positions. Also, 55% of the survey participants are planning to start spending allocated cryptocurrency in the next three years while 23% don’t mind starting right now. Only 8% of Exeno visitors will keep their assets for 10 years or more.
