[SYDNEY, 17 December 2020] As the price of bitcoin surpasses its previous all-time high, a new report released today shows that attitudes toward bitcoin are improving with almost one in five Australians now owning some cryptocurrency. Conducted annually, the Independent Reserve Cryptocurrency Index (IRCI)  is a nationwide survey providing a benchmark for the awareness, trust and confidence that everyday Australians have in digital currencies. Bitcoin is still the best known cryptocurrency, with 88.8 percent of the Australian population aware of it.

The fork itself is expected; the network forks every 6 months, however there is a potential for this fork to be contentious due to some conflicting ideas about the future direction of the cryptocurrency. A contentious fork will sometimes lead to two resulting blockchains and cryptocurrencies.

At time of writing it appears the vast majority of miners are signalling in one direction, so it is possible the fork will not be contentious, but time will tell and we will keep you up to date.
