The 45-page survey doesn’t contain questions about El Salvador’s government's Bitcoin investments.
According to the annual survey by José Simeón Cañas Central American University in El Salvador, 12% of the local population used Bitcoin at least once to pay for goods and services last year.
The survey was conducted in December 2023, featuring 1280 respondents who were visited at their homes to collect interviews.
Most of those who bought something with Bitcoin last year used it only one to three times (49.7%), while 20% used it ten or more times. Surprisingly, the main expense line in BTC appeared to be groceries (22.9%) and supermarkets (20.9%), followed by veterinary clinics (15%).
