# Announcing the Bitcoin Core Usage Survey

Today I am launching a survey aimed at gathering information about how people use Bitcoin Core.

[Click here to take the survey](https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/6081474/8acd79087feb)

This survey is generously made possible by a grant from MIT's Digital Currency Initiative and is being run with the help and collaboration of the researchers at [Maiden Laps](https://maiden.global/).
A special thanks to Square Crypto [grant recipient](https://twitter.com/sqcrypto/status/1338665428550365184) <NAME> for his input throughout the design as well.

The survey will remain up for 6 weeks, until March 2nd, 2021.
