Abstract

Cryptocurrency has been around since 2008 when Satoshi Nakamoto issued a white paper. Satoshi also claimed to be the creator and developer of Bitcoin, the first type of cryptocurrency. This research looks at Bruneians' understanding of Crypto-currencies, their perceptions, and their awareness and acceptance of cryptocurrency in Brunei Darussalam. This research used questionnaires as a method of gathering data. Who would have thought that cryptocurrency was known to almost all levels of age, it did not only focus on higher education respondents, and that the fact it was male-dominated? Cryptocurrency in Brunei is not widespread yet. The awareness of cryptocurrency in Brunei is deficient because information is inadequate. Bitcoin is yet to be the most well-known cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is seen as an asset instead of currency by the general public. Information primarily obtained is mainly from social media, family, friends, word of mouth, and press releases from AMBD.
