Abstract

Virtual Currency is a peer-to-peer platform, whereby it conveys an entirely different approach compared to the traditional banking system. Virtual currency is not guaranteed by any government or organization because nobody owns the platform. Under the context of the increased adoption of virtual currency across North America among different groups, this study emphasizes the evaluation of the acceptance and benefits of virtual currency among people of different age groups in North America. The researcher applied a quantitative research approach as the preferred research method of the study. The purposive sampling was utilized to obtain a sample size of 12 individuals who are involved in the virtual currency market in North America. The findings of the study illustrate that there is a profound association between the acceptance and benefits of virtual currency and age. Young people between the age of 18 and 25 utilize virtual currency more frequently compared to other age groups.
