Gen Z Adoption of Cryptocurrencies
According to a recent survey by Capitalize, over 50% of Gen Z believe cryptocurrencies will become widely used in the future, and about 17% of the entire cryptocurrency market is already being occupied by Gen Z.
A notable benefit to Bitcoin SV is how it transacts quickly and inexpensively, scales easily and is far more environmentally friendly than many other cryptos – all features that are important to Gen Z.

To be considered eligible for a chance to win the scholarship, students must be legal residents of the Continental United States who are of the age of majority in their state of residence at the time of entry, and who are enrolled in or accepted for enrolment at a post-secondary college or university in the United States or Canada in the Summer 2022 or Fall 2022. The giveaway runs for 60 days, ending on June 13, 2022 at 11:59 EDST.
