What can be more more worth than a $1000 in Bitcoin? Student loan payment

18 December 2017 21:00, UTC

American students have some real problems with loans, as evidenced by the latest survey made by LendEDU. One conclusion of the research really stands out: 66.8% of borrowers wanted a student loan payment instead of $1,000 worth of Bitcoin, which is a big number, assuming that the current sentiment of the public is optimistic towards the further price growth, as seen in the previous LendEDU survey Bitnewstoday also described.

All respondents at the survey time had student loan debts, which might have influenced their priorities. Many investors, especially from the traditional market, would even say these students know better than to invest in cryptocurrency while already having a debt to pay. The exact question during the interviews with respondents was “Which of the following gifts would you prefer to receive this holiday season instead of an equally valued payment towards your student loan debt?”

When it comes to more physical assets, most American students still prefer student loan payment, but amusingly enough, more people would take bitcoins instead of non-virtual, physical Apple AirPods and Apple iPhone X, the status of which is not being questioned by experts.
