In just over five years since it launched, Ethereum\u00a0introduced the world to smart contracts, decentralized finance, yield farming and non-fungible tokens, and has long stood just behind Bitcoin\u00a0as the second-largest blockchain project by market capitalization.<\/p>\n

Dogecoin (DOGE<\/a>) is a meme cryptocurrency which has provided no innovation, has no real raison d’etre, and is only popular because it became the plaything of a famous multi-billionaire during the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

So naturally, as one might expect, the average citizen is already more familiar with Dogecoin than they are with Ethereum. That\u2019s according to the results of a survey conducted by Harris Poll, in conjunction with CouponCabin, which asked over 2,000 adults in the United States to give their thoughts on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

According to the survey\u2019s findings, 29% of respondents said they were familiar with Dogecoin, compared to just 21% who were familiar with Ethereum.<\/p>\n

Of the total 2,063 respondents, 89% said they had already at least heard of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin was already known to a majority (71%) of respondents, with Dogecoin being the second most well-known coin.<\/p>\n

Other digital assets that Americans claimed familiarity with included the stablecoin launched by Coinbase and Circle, USD Coin (USDC<\/a>), of which 21% of respondents said they had knowledge. Some 18% of respondents said they were familiar with Litecoin (LTC<\/a>), and 10% said Stellar (XLM<\/a>) was known to them.<\/p>\n

When asked whether they believed cryptocurrencies would become the future of money, 31% responded positively, and 30% said they thought of crypto as \u201cinnovative.\u201d At the same time, 23% of respondents said they regarded cryptocurrency as a get-quick-rich scheme, while 19% characterized the technology as shady or nefarious. Almost half (44%) of respondents said they\u2019d be open to receiving cryptocurrency as part of an online cashback rewards program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
