Do you plan on investing in Ripple as an asset for the future? Answer - depends when you were born

Have you heard of blockchain? The answer is probably yes. Could you explain to your aged relative what it is and how it works. The answer is almost certainly No. If the answer is yes then you are probably lying or deluded.

These are the results for 18 -24 year olds
