uncover the personality traits that are most common among crypto nuts.<\/p>\n<p>They identified that many investors exhibit signs of the \u201cdark tetrad\u201d, a group of four unsavory traits made up of narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy and sadism.<\/p>\n<p>In plain English, that means dark tetrads have an inflated sense of self-importance and derive pleasure from the pain of others.<\/p>\n<p>They also find it difficult to empathize with others and are sly and manipulative.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists at Queensland University of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a> described their findings in research published in the journal\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0191886921008321\">Personality and Individual Differences<\/a>\u00a0earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>They asked 566 people to complete personality surveys as well as answers questions about their attitudes to crypto.<\/p>\n<p>Of the participants, one in four reported that they owned crypto and two-thirds showed an interest in crypto investing.<\/p>\n<p>All four dark tetrad traits correlated with an affinity for investing, each for their own reasons.<\/p>\n<p>According to the researchers, dark tetrads are partly drawn to crypto because they are prepared to take risks.<\/p>\n<p>Digital assets such as Bitcoin are infamously volatile and the feast-or-famine nature of investing is particularly enticing to some.<\/p>\n<p>Study lead author Dr. Di Wang wrote in\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/impulsive-psychopaths-like-crypto-research-shows-how-dark-personality-traits-affect-bitcoin-enthusiasm-180782\">The Conversation<\/a>: \u201cDark tetrad traits are \u2018dark\u2019 because of their \u2018evil\u2019 qualities: Extreme selfishness and taking advantage of others without empathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dark tetrad are also often related to risk-taking behaviors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The link between the traits and an affinity for Bitcoin is also driven by the fact that the currency does not have a central authority, meaning it is separate from banks and governments.<\/p>\n<p>Machiavellians \u2013 who are good at deception and take a calculated <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\"

because they distrust politicians and government agencies\u201d, Dr. Wang said.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cMany crypto supporters believe governments are corrupt, and crypto avoids government corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Narcissists, on the other hand, are drawn to the technology because they tend to focus on the positive side of life.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that narcissists like crypto because of their great faith in the future and confidence that their own lives will improve.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, impulsive psychopaths and sadists like crypto because they are thrill-seekers who fear missing out on the rewards of investing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo them, perhaps both the pleasure from seeing another\u2019s pain and the fear of missing out are related to selfishness,\u201d Dr. Wang wrote.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a crypto fan yourself, don\u2019t fear \u2013 investing doesn\u2019t suddenly make you evil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe studied only a subset of people interested in crypto who do have these traits,\u201d Dr. Wang said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you happen to be a Bitcoin or other crypto holder, you may or may not exhibit them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on
