Grayscale has investigated who those people in the US are who are interested in bitcoin. One of the conclusions from the research is that there is a growing interest of Americans in Bitcoin as an investment. A surprising result is that the majority of those interested are already parents. Majority is an understatement, as many as seventy percent say they already have children.

Grayscale draws the cautious conclusion that this group has more experience and is more tolerant to risks than average investors.
