Billy Markus, the co-creator of Dogecoin, recently expressed his disagreement with a study published by The Independent that claims individuals who invest in cryptocurrencies exhibit "dark tetrad" personality traits.

狗狗幣的聯合創始人比利·馬庫斯最近表達了他對《獨立報》發表的一項研究的不同意見，該研究聲稱投資加密貨幣的個人表現出「黑暗四人格」的性格特徵。

Study Claims Crypto Investors Have "Dark Tetrad" Traits

研究聲稱加密貨幣投資者俱有「黑暗四分體」特徵

The study, conducted on 2,001 US adults, found that approximately 30% of respondents owned cryptocurrency. Researchers collected psychological and personality data from participants and concluded that crypto owners tend to possess "dark tetrad" traits, such as narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism.

這項針對 2,001 名美國成年人的研究發現，約 30% 的受訪者擁有加密貨幣。研究人員收集了參與者的心理和性格數據，並得出結論，加密貨幣所有者往往具有「黑暗四聯體」特徵，例如自戀、馬基雅維利主義、精神病和虐待狂。

Markus Refutes Study Findings

馬庫斯反駁研究結果

Markus strongly disputes the study's findings, arguing that: "I disagree and let me lengthily argue why I am right." He maintains that the study's methodology is flawed and that it has incorrectly conflated correlation with causation.

馬庫斯強烈質疑這項研究的結果，他認為：“我不同意，讓我長時間地論證為什麼我是對的。”他認為該研究的方法有缺陷，並且錯誤地將相關性與因果關係混為一談。

Study May Be Biased Against Elon Musk's X Platform

研究可能對伊隆馬斯克的 X 平台有偏見

Markus also suggests that the study may be biased against Elon Musk's social media platform, X. He notes that X has gained popularity as a source of news, particularly within the cryptocurrency community.

馬庫斯也表示，這項研究可能對馬斯克的社群媒體平台 X 有偏見。

Lack of Scientific rigor

缺乏科學嚴謹性

The study has been criticized for its lack of scientific rigor. The sample size is relatively small, and the data collection methods may have introduced bias. Additionally, the study does not provide a clear explanation of the causal relationship between personality traits and cryptocurrency investment behavior.

這項研究因缺乏科學嚴謹性而受到批評。樣本量相對較小，資料收集方法可能會引入偏差。此外，研究並未對人格特質與加密貨幣投資行為之間的因果關係提供明確的解釋。
