The paper examines the main hypothesis: the influence of socio-demographic characteristics of economic agents on investment, or the intention to invest in cryptocurrencies in the future. For the purposes of researching the main hypothesis, 6 auxiliary hypotheses were set up, which were tested through the work, and they relate to a number of socio-demographic characteristics, namely: gender, age, the highest level of education achieved so far, the level of monthly income, the level of financial literacy of the respondents and risk propensity. Total of 216 respondents accessed the servey via online research. The Chi-square test is used to test auxiliary hypotheses. The results of this research showed that socio-demographic characteristics have an impact on respondents' investment in cryptocurrencies and on their intention to invest in the future, which confirms the main hypothesis. The only auxiliary hypothesis about the level of education of the respondents was not confirmed through the work, which concludes that the education of the respondents has no influence on the investment of the respondents in cryptocurrencies.
