This study's primary goal was to assess people's attitudes among young people regarding cryptocurrency awareness and investment. Most of the youth have not yet purchased bitcoin, were just familiar with cryptocurrencies, and lack a comprehensive overview of potential risks. The study’s data was gathered from primary and secondary sources of data. The fundamental information obtained by a questionnaire sent to more than 200 active and passive investors. The secondary sources of data used for the completion of this assignment include journals, magazines, internet websites, textbooks, and a review of literature.
