Is there a relationship between psychopathy and cryptocurrencies? This is indicated by researchers from the University of Toronto and the University of Miamiwho published an article where they claim that those who possess digital assets may exhibit personality traits associated with the narcissism, Machiavellian thinking, psychopathyand even sadism.
The study involved the participation of about 2,001 adults living in the USand it was found that among 30% of respondents, there were high scores on indicators of “chaos, paranoia, schizotypal attributes, dogmatism, victim mentality and psychological reactance (motivated by feelings of loss of freedoms).”
Despite this, there was also a significant group of interviewees who showed traits of humorous self-criticism. This has led to certain scenarios that could lead to other types of negative reactions in ordinary people being taken much more calmly.
