The study that turned social media upside down
Hey guys… In recent days, a very strange news appeared and spread widely:
“Cryptocurrency holders are more prone to psychological disorders”
As soon as you hear the title, you feel like it’s a joke… but the truth is it’s based on studies that were actually published!
Researchers from the University of Toronto and Miami conducted a survey on 2001 people in America in 2022, and noticed that about 30% of them own some form of crypto.
The result?
They said this group has characteristics associated with narcissism, Machiavellianism, and violence...
And that created a very big stir.
When the study was published... the world exploded
The study was quiet and no one was interested...
Until Steve Hanke – one of the most critical people of $BTC
– He published it and said that crypto holders have:
• Less analytical thinking
• Conspiracy mentality
• And tendencies towards psychological disorders
Of course, as soon as he said that...
The topic has become a trend, memes started circulating, and people began joking:
“So we not only lost money... but we also developed disorders?” 😂
But not everything in the study was negative.
An important aspect that no one talked about
The same study said that crypto people:
• Their education level is higher
• Their income is above average
• More religious
So the issue is not just 'disorders'... there are positive aspects that no one focused on.
And there was also a study before it in 2022 that said that FOMO feelings among traders are linked to certain traits like impulsiveness... and that's logical, because this market is particularly full of volatility, speed, and stress.
The truth that we need to understand
Guys... anyone entering the crypto market must have some stress, some pressure, some fear...
That's very normal.
But that doesn't mean that everyone investing in $BTC or cryptocurrencies 'has a psychological disorder'.
The truth?
This market needs:
• Patience
• Nerves
• Understanding the psychology of traders
• And risk management
And you also need a mindset that can handle gains and losses without fainting the moment the market drops by 5%.
So the summary is:
This study offers 'explanations'... not 'judgments'.
Why is this important for you?
Because every reader on Square – especially those who start trading – must understand that stress is part of the game...
It's not evidence that you are 'disturbed' or 'not normal'.
The important thing is how to manage your feelings...
And how not to let the market play with you.
And thus you can enter calculated trades and learn... and over time you'll profit.
A final word
It is certain that crypto is not for everyone...
But that doesn't mean that everyone inside has a problem.
Those who have a real problem… are the ones entering the market without knowledge or capital management.
So hold your nerves... and understand the market...
And always stay aware and attentive, not just a number in a study.
