ChainCatcher news, according to Bitcoinist, Steve H. Hanke, a well-known American economist, has labeled crypto investors as "psychopaths".

Steve H. Hanke cited a study from the University of Toronto, saying that cryptocurrency holders show lower levels of analytical and scientific thinking than the general population and are more likely to show psychopathology. The study involved approximately 2,001 American adults at the University of Toronto, and the study aimed to "explore the psychological and social characteristics of individuals who invest and hold cryptocurrencies for a long time."

It is reported that many members of the crypto community were angry about Hanke's statement and believed that the study was "inaccurate."
