What difference does that make?
Because you're equating reported figures for entirely different things and also the effect you're talking about would only apply to investors holding crypto, not people who just use it intermittently for making payments (in fact, they may well prefer stability over price shifts in either direction).
And what makes you think security.org is "commissioned and funded by organizations with a vested interest in promoting crypto"?
What makes you think security.org commissioned and funded the surveys? All we know is that they carried them out and reported some of the results.
Although I have a feeling I could give you a 1,000 credible sources as you would wave them all away too.
If they were just blogs and news articles repeating the same unsourced statistics then I probably would. If you have any primary research, I'd be much more interested (but then I'm a bit weird like that
).
And I'm completely baffled by how upset you seem to be over the whole issue.
I'm not upset, I just like honesty and accuracy in debates, especially in relation to important things like elections and private investments, both areas where innocent people can be easily misinformed (intentionally or not).
Regardless: literally anybody who owns crypto is going to benefit from a bull market. Period.
Again, only if they exploit that bull market. If prices go up and then later go down again, someone who just sat on their investment throughout will have gained (or lost) nothing. For someone to benefit, they'd need to sell at the top of the market and that means someone else would have to buy, thus loosing out as and when the market drops again.
Again: when he was elected in 2016 crypto went on an insane or run. Regardless of whether or not those two facts are related, most people in the crypto space are convinced that they are and are convinced that the same thing will happen if he's elected again.
I'm not convinced most people involved in crypto are that ignorant, but a lot of those openly talking about it might be. Regardless of the election results, the smart quite ones will find ways to benefit at the cost of the ignorant noisy ones.
It looks to me like you're going by your impression of what I said rather than what I actually said.
Well that's how language works. That is why accuracy and clarity is so important in this kind of discussion.
