Study Finds Cryptocurrency Owners Tend to Exhibit Narcissistic and Psychopathic Traits
According to a recent study by the University of Toronto and the University of Miami, individuals who own cryptocurrency are more likely to display traits of narcissism and psychopathy. The study surveyed 2,001 American adults, with 30% of respondents reporting owning cryptocurrency. Additionally, crypto ownership was linked to belief in conspiracy theories, use of alternative and fringe social media, and an aversion to authoritarianism. However, the authors of the study cautioned against drawing strong political conclusions from these findings. Another study found that while many cryptocurrency enthusiasts are known for their libertarian views, those polled tended to identify as Democrats and hold more liberal political views. The researchers suggest that future studies should examine global trends in distrust, populism, and cynicism towards established institutions to better understand their causes.

GaiaNet CEO: AI systems should not be managed by individuals or governments, and tokenized entities should also be managed in a more democratic way
GaiaNet CEO and co-founder Matt Wright discusses the two camps in the debate over decentralized artificial intelligence. The first camp prefers a controlled software environment, while the second believes in open and liberal ideals.Wright supports the second camp, stating, "I don't believe in controlling these systems. I think we should guide them properly, and all we can really do is provide secure fences and appropriate dialogue. These systems should not be managed by individuals or governments, and the technology should not be supervised by those who do not use it. On the other hand, Web3 and Ethereum have implemented appropriate on-chain governance. Tokenized entities manage systems in a more democratic way based on their degree of participation."Wright states, "We are now at a critical moment, where institutional recognition of cryptocurrency ETFs as asset classes is incredible, allowing their clients to easily enter the field. Obviously, this will bring a lot of liquidity to the field. The Ethereum community should welcome this attention and make it more focused on developers and construction."Matt Wright is the CEO and co-founder of GaiaNet, an artificial intelligence infrastructure project aimed at decentralizing current AI agent software.

Citi: October non-farm data will slow down significantly, and market attention will not return to the recession
The Fed has yet to declare victory in its fight against inflation, but policymakers have shifted some of their attention to the biggest part of their dual mandate, employment. "The October nonfarm payrolls will be an important confirmation or negation of the stronger September data, but may not be enough to shift market attention back to the risk of a U.S. recession," Citi economist Veronica Clark said in a recent report, "However, the October data will reflect the impact of the ongoing Boeing strike and hurricanes. Clark estimates that these factors will reduce employment by 70,000 to 80,000. Citi's view on nonfarm payrolls is milder than generally expected, with an increase of 90,000 and a small increase in the unemployment rate to 4.23%. In addition, Citi said that any downward revision to the September data may be more significant than usual.

Architect Partners: Bitcoin mining industry is in a consolidation phase
According to CoinDesk, investment bank Architect Partners has reported that the Bitcoin mining industry is currently in a consolidation phase, triggered by the halving event in April of this year.The report emphasizes that mining companies are seeking large, scalable data center capacity and access to low-cost electricity and capital. The Bitfarms plan to acquire Stronghold Digital Mining is a typical example of recent M&A trends. The report's authors believe that hostile takeovers are not common in talent-dependent technology and financial services industries, but the Bitcoin mining industry is different, with its core assets being physical facilities, power resources, and widely available computing equipment. However, this trend towards consolidation contradicts the original intention of Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto, who hoped that anyone could participate in mining without concentration of computing power. The impact of the centralization of the mining industry is still to be observed.
