BSV BLOCKCHAIN’S ANNUAL BLOCKCHAIN BAROMOTER REVEALS THAT THE UK IS HOLDING BACK IT’S FUTURE WITH DISMAL KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

Study of over 2,200 UK adults revealed only 13% of respondents understood what blockchain technology is76% had no trust in social mediaUK men are 3x times more likely to own digital assets than women (18% vs. 6%)ZUG, Switzerland, Nov. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, BSV Blockchain launched its annual Blockchain Barometer in partnership with renowned research house, YouGov. The national survey reveals the UK’s shocking lack of knowledge and understanding of key emerging technologies, including AI, cryptocurrencies, Chat GPT, blockchain, metaverse, Web 3, and IoT. The individual technologies that fared best in the UK have been widely reported in global media recently. AI ranked top, with 53% claiming to understand the technology, compared to 30% who understood cryptocurrencies, 26% the metaverse, 13% blockchain, and only 6% who said they understood Web3.
As part of the study, the BSV Blockchain spoke to over 13,000 consumers across the UK, Spain, Germany, France, Sweden, and the US to take a pulse check on perceptions and trust in emerging technologies to understand knowledge gaps and priorities for education.
Cyrille Albrecht, Managing Director of BSV Blockchain, commented, “As stewards of the BSV protocol and as a membership organisation, The BSV Blockchain wanted to get a sense check on the broader sentiment towards new technology globally and, particularly in the UK. The BSV Blockchain commissioned this survey to assess whether the UK has disparities in understanding, knowledge, and trust in emerging tech, including blockchain.”
Brits in last place for trust in emerging tech (AI, Metaverse, ChatGPT…)
54% of UK consumers surveyed do not trust any emerging technologies listed in the survey (AI, Metaverse, Chat GPT, Web3, etc.). Spain and Sweden demonstrated higher confidence levels in the technologies and their use in everyday life. 34% of those surveyed in Spain trust and use AI in everyday life vs. 14% of US respondents and 15% of those based in the UK. Almost 2 in 3 (65%) Spanish 18–24-year-olds demonstrated trust in AI. 29% of German respondents and 37% of Spanish believe they will use blockchain technology in their daily lives within five years if they don’t already. However, it isn’t the only technology the British public struggles to believe in; 56% deemed the media untrustworthy, and 76% distrust social media.
British men are at least 3x times more likely to own digital assets than British women
There were notable differences by gender across the survey. Despite a lack of knowledge in the UK, men were three times as likely to have invested in some form of digital assets (18% vs. 6%). Across the board, women frequently expressed less use or belief in the technology than their male counterparts. For example, when asked Which technologies you trust to adopt and use in your day-to-day life (e.g., banking, paying bills, shopping, etc.), whether more cautious or savvier, 55% of UK women versus 52% of British men say they would not trust any technologies.
Gen Z are flagbearers for emerging tech
While the overall research findings paint a gloomy picture for the future of emerging tech, the results for Gen Z are much more positive. Globally, the 18-24 age group were much more open to learning about the technologies; 26% believed it would be part of their everyday life within five years if they were not using it already. In the UK, Gen Z was most likely to understand the differences between crypto and blockchain, as well as being more trusting in the technologies, especially AI and Web3, this age group was globally most trusting in social media (48%), compared to 76% of UK respondents deeming social media untrustworthy.
What’s in it for customers?
Respondents were united in their response when asked what would make them more likely to gain interest in using blockchain technologies more widely for day-to-day finances. In the UK, there was a better understanding of the benefits, with:
35% said they would be most interested in understanding its benefits30% wanted to understand the technology better30% want to gain a better understanding of how the is currently being usedCyrille Albrecht added: “One of the BSV Blockchain key pillars is to provide the necessary education on blockchain technology to augment widescale adoption, and the research results highlight the need to continue our commitment to fostering learning and training. It is abundantly clear that within the UK, we must double-down our efforts to build trust in the technology through informative education programmes, collaborating with schools and universities, whilst also continuing our engagement with regulators and policy makers.”

Methodology
This survey has been conducted using an online interview administered to members of the YouGov Plc panel of individuals who have agreed to take part in surveys. Emails are sent to panellists selected at random from the base sample. The email invites them to take part in a survey and provides a generic survey link. Once a panel member clicks on the link they are sent to the survey that they are most required for, according to the sample definition and quotas. (The sample definition could be “GB adult population” or a subset such as “GB adult females”). Invitations to surveys don’t expire and respondents can be sent to any available survey. The responding sample is weighted to the profile of the sample definition to provide a representative reporting sample. The profile is normally derived from census data or, if not available from the census, from industry accepted data.
All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 13047 adults. Fieldwork was undertaken between 8th – 19th September 2023. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all surveyed country adults (aged 18+) in the UK, US, France, Spain, Sweden, and Germany.
While 57% of those surveyed claim to understand AI, only 38% understood cryptocurrencies and 13% blockchain. 71% have not heard of blockchain at all, 60% don’t know how to describe it, and 48% don’t know if there is a difference between blockchain and crypto.

Global Methane Hub Announces the Enteric Fermentation Research & Development Accelerator, a $200M Agricultural Methane Mitigation Funding Initiative

The Largest-Ever Globally Coordinated Funding Investment in Livestock Methane Mitigation Research Announced at the COP28 Business & Philanthropy Climate Forum
The public, private and philanthropic partnership includes Bezos Earth Fund, Quadrature Climate Fund, Gerstner Philanthropies, High Tide Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Zegar Family Foundation, Danone and more
DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, at COP28, the Global Methane Hub (GMH) announced a more than $200 million funding initiative between public, private and philanthropic partners including the Bezos Earth Fund, Quadrature Climate Fund, Gerstner Philanthropies, High Tide Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Zegar Family Foundation, Danone, the Governments of Ireland, New Zealand and the United States, for research and development (R&D) technologies to meaningfully address and reduce methane emissions from livestock.
The Enteric Fermentation R&D Accelerator, or Accelerator, is the largest-ever, globally coordinated investment of breakthrough research tackling livestock methane emissions. The Global Methane Hub announced the intention to establish the Accelerator at COP27 as an AIM for Climate Innovation Sprint. The Accelerator will unite funders, guided by a science oversight committee, to invest in a globally coordinated research plan. This strategy aims to address gaps in current research and enhance existing efforts. The strategy includes work on exploring new and alternate livestock feed additives, tools to breed low-methane livestock, immunological studies for a methane vaccine, understanding the organisms in the rumen and their functions, and lowering the costs of measurement, essential to generate evidence for regulatory approval and validation of mitigation technologies.
About 40% of the world’s methane emissions come from agriculture, and 70% of that is due to enteric fermentation. This process happens in cows’ digestive systems when sugars are broken down into methane and released through belching. Unfortunately, current research on enteric fermentation is not extensive or coordinated enough to provide efficient and transformative solutions to significantly benefit farmers.
This is the latest milestone to mark the impact GMH is having on global methane reduction efforts since its founding in December 2021.
“The Accelerator is a prime example of the role philanthropy can play in driving substantive climate action and strategically aligning the key players working to solve the most pressing issue of our time,” said Hayden Montgomery, Agriculture Program Director at the Global Methane Hub. “With this effort to synchronize and consolidate public-good research on enteric methane, we aim to make multiple solutions to reduce enteric methane available quickly and provide proof of the efficacy of livestock mitigation technologies.”
“We know that cattle are responsible for most agricultural methane emissions. Promising technological and scientific solutions exist, but for too long, monetary and regulatory barriers have slowed progress and prevented critical research,” said Andy Jarvis, Director of Future of Food at the Bezos Earth Fund. “The Global Methane Hub’s Enteric Methane R&D Accelerator stands to change all of this, unlocking the resources needed to discover and develop low-cost solutions that will dramatically reduce methane emissions from livestock by 2030.”
“Through the Accelerator, we are poised to make a significant impact in driving innovation towards solutions to reduce enteric methane globally,” said Richard Lawrence, director and co-founder of High Tide Foundation. “I would like to thank Danone for stepping up as the first corporation committed to the Accelerator and I encourage others to do the same.”
“As a dairy company, curbing methane emissions is the fastest and most impactful way to slow down global warming,” said Olivier Verdelet, Vice-President Agriculture Cycle at Danone. “To do so, collaboration will be instrumental as we seek for new solutions, speed and sizable impacts. We are eager to collaborate with the Global Methane Hub and other partners to accelerate and test scalable innovations in the field. We believe this will help us build a sustainable, future-fit dairy category that is at the core of our mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible.”
Agricultural methane is projected to increase 40% by 2050. We would have to reduce emissions by 50% in order to meet the accords of the Paris Agreement to keep the global temperature rise to a maximum of 1.5 degrees Celsius. Reducing methane emissions from all sectors, including agriculture, is the fastest way to mitigate climate change.
