Study Finds Cryptocurrency Owners Tend to Exhibit Narcissistic and Psychopathic Traits
2024-08-28 13:51:40 Primitive Reading

 According to a recent study by the University of Toronto and the University of Miami, individuals who own cryptocurrency are more likely to display traits of narcissism and psychopathy. The study surveyed 2,001 American adults, with 30% of respondents reporting owning cryptocurrency. Additionally, crypto ownership was linked to belief in conspiracy theories, use of alternative and fringe social media, and an aversion to authoritarianism. However, the authors of the study cautioned against drawing strong political conclusions from these findings. Another study found that while many cryptocurrency enthusiasts are known for their libertarian views, those polled tended to identify as Democrats and hold more liberal political views. The researchers suggest that future studies should examine global trends in distrust, populism, and cynicism towards established institutions to better understand their causes.
