Turns out we're all very curious about how bitcoins work.
Ireland is showing more of a interest in cryptocurrency according to a new report.
Gemini, a cryptocurrency company based in New York has published their 2022 Global State of Crypto report.
Over 1,700 Irish people were interviewed alongside other countries like South Africa, the UK and Australia.
It was revealed that Irish people were the most "crypto-curious in the world" at 58%.
The report defined crypto-curious as people willing to learn more or willing to buy cryptocurrency over the next year such as bitcoin.
Germany wasn't far behind at 53%, with Columbia in third at 50% and our neighbours the UK at 49%.

Around 18% of Irish respondents also said they had owned cryptocurrency in the past, with Gemini saying the average Irish crypto owner is 36 years old.
Most of these owners are men, but the majority of those who were "curious" about it are women.
The report's release comes as bodies like the EU are tightening down on transfers of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
What do you think about cryptocurrency? Would you ever invest in it?
