    In this episode, Dr. Greg and Bryan dive into the fascinating relationship between personality traits and cryptocurrency ownership. They discuss a groundbreaking study conducted by the University of Toronto and the University of Miami, which examines the dark tetrad personality traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism—commonly associated with crypto owners. The study reveals how these traits contribute to behaviors such as the fear of missing out (FOMO), belief in conspiracies, and extremist views.
