On the 4th, the exchange Kraken released a survey report about cryptocurrency FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), targeting 1,248 cryptocurrency holders in the United States, exploring how emotions influence their investment decisions. The results show that most people's trading behavior is affected by emotions rather than rational decisions. (Background: Financial Times apologizes: If 14 years of negative reporting on BTC made you miss the opportunity to buy Bitcoin, very sorry about that.) (Additional context: Will Bitcoin correct significantly after breaking 100,000? Analysts: Don't be too pessimistic, the heat of altcoin season will be even higher.) On the 4th, the exchange Kraken published a report on cryptocurrency FOMO, targeting 1,248 cryptocurrency holders in the United States to explore how emotions affect their investment decisions. Up to 84% of respondents made investment choices due to FOMO. In the survey report, Kraken summarized several questions and found that most respondents let emotions guide their trading rather than rational strategies. Among them, 81% of respondents admitted to making decisions based on FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt), and 84% of respondents made investment choices due to FOMO. Additionally, the survey results showed that cryptocurrency holders are particularly concerned about missing potential gains from their existing assets (personal investment portfolios), rather than worrying about missing new investment opportunities. When asked about the situations they fear missing the most, 60% of respondents said they were most worried about missing the chance for significant price increases of their existing assets, and this fear also affected their trading behavior. Moreover, the survey found that investors are more focused on the gains when prices are rising rather than opportunities to buy at low prices. This behavior may lead investors to impulsively buy at market peaks. Not only that, but in the highly volatile cryptocurrency market, this behavior may cause investors to miss potential long-term gains on assets. The report also pointed out that 63% of cryptocurrency holders acknowledged that emotional decision-making had a significant negative impact on their overall investment portfolio, highlighting the real consequences of overly relying on market emotions (such as fear and greed) for investment rather than adopting cautious cryptocurrency trading strategies. Comparison of investment emotions by gender and age group: Although many respondents experienced FOMO or FUD, a majority still remained optimistic about the future of cryptocurrencies. Data shows that 64% of respondents strongly believe they missed out on substantial gains in cryptocurrencies, but at the same time, 68% of respondents firmly believe that cryptocurrencies still have significant growth potential in the future. Additionally, the survey made more detailed emotional distinctions based on respondents' age and gender, and the results are as follows: Feeling of missing out and optimism across age groups: 18-29 years old: 41% feel they missed the biggest gains, 36% are still confident about the future. 30-44 years old: 54% feel they missed opportunities, 49% believe there is still potential in the future. 45-60 years old: 78% believe they have missed out, but 74% are optimistic about the future. Over 60 years old: 67% believe they missed early opportunities, 73% believe there is still significant growth potential in the future. The results show that the 45-60 age group has the highest feeling of missing out (78%), but at the same time, they are also the most optimistic group about the future of cryptocurrencies (74%). Frequency of emotional decision-making by gender: FUD: 83% of men made investment decisions based on FUD, while for women it was 75%. FOMO: 66% of men made investments due to FOMO, while only 42% of women did. Additionally, 70% of men believe they missed out on the biggest gains in the cryptocurrency space, while only 48% of women feel the same. These figures also suggest that men may be more impulsive and irrational in their investment decisions compared to women. Related reports: Bitcoin crashed after breaking 100,000 dollars!
