Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka konsumenters kunskap kring och inställning till bitcoin som betalningsmedel. För att uppnå syftet konstruerades forskningsfrågan: ” Vilka faktorer påverkar acceptansen av bitcoin hos svenska konsumenter?”.För att besvara forskningsfrågan genomfördes en kvantitativ enkätundersökning med en grupp respondenter begränsad till åldersspannet 20 till 50 år. 100 personer tillfrågades varav 76 valde att delta. Frågorna i denna enkätundersökning baserades på befintlig teori och forskning kring ämnet, vilken också ligger till grund för analysen av resultatet. En regressionsanalys genomfördes på resultatets utfall, vilken påvisade en signifikant korrelation mellan svenska konsumenters acceptans av bitcoin och sysselsättning. Svårigheten låg i att hitta förklaringar till detta utfall och de potentiella sådana som diskuterats är rent spekulativa. Detta trots att resultatet styrkts av befintliga teorier. Det är därför upp till framtida forskare att svara på VARFÖR sysselsättning påverkar svenska konsumenters acceptans av bitcoin med hjälp av de riktlinjer som presenteras i uppsatsens slutsats.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this report was to investigate consumers' knowledge and attitude towards bitcoin as a payment method. In order to achieve this purpose the following research question was formed: “What factors affect the acceptance of bitcoin amongst swedish consumers?”.To answer this research question, a quantitative survey study including a group of respondents limited to an age span of 20 to 50 years was conducted. 100 people were asked to participate, of which 76 chose to do so. The questions in this survey were based on existing theory and research in this field, which was also used as a basis for the analysis of the result. A regression analysis was performed on the outcome of the result, which indicated a significant correlation between swedish consumers acceptance of bitcoin and occupation. The difficulty lay within finding potential explanations to this outcome and the ones that have been discussed are based on pure speculation. This in spite of the outcome being strengthened by existing theory. It is therefore up to future researchers to answer WHY occupation affect swedish consumers acceptance of bitcoin, using the guidelines presented in the conclusion of this essay.
