This study discusses the acceptance level of cryptocurrency in countries of the world. Study takes a deep dive on what does affect the acceptance level of cryptocurrency and what should be expected if same changes would to happen in countries income level, technological level, financial level, and education level. The study gives an overview of current up to date situation of cryptocurrency. In this research we have conducted a cross-sectional data analysis of cryptocurrency acceptance level for year 2021. Study is focused on both decentralized and centralized acceptance level thus why the research has treated both transactions volume on exchanges and Defi. The study found that countries with higher income could have higher acceptance level of cryptocurrency, but the effect is not that immense. Other factors such as education, financial access and internet access had an inconclusive effect on the acceptance level. The study also shows that there is no prove of that pervious qualitative research result upholds or have any systematic relation with quantitative research results.

We now live in a society where communicating is done mostly through computer-technology based mediums. In Swedish municipal infrastructure a lot of the communication-data consists of geospatial data-collections. This data is generated with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) which usage in Sweden has increased rapidly. This has lead to a competition between developers in designing their systems for a wider user-base. A transition between designs that has its focus on a small target group and designs intended for a wide range of different users puts the developers in a challenge where usability is one of the big concerns. In this thesis we, have adopted a qualitative research approach with contextual observations and usability testing, in order to identify the crucial usability concerns when designing GIS for a wider user-base. Results show that the most crucial usability concerns are related to system feedback and the GIS not being compatible with other GIS data formats. The research has been concentrated within municipalities in Sweden and results presented in this thesis are rough, but true indications. More research is needed to get detailed accuracy of the usability concerns. We hope that this thesis will aid developers of GIS in their design-phase and to be part of a foundation to future GIS-standards.
