摘要

投资行为和赌博时间重叠。据说,赌博和投资行为之间存在一个频谱,在频谱中间有“推测性”投资工具。考虑到与传统投资工具相比,加密货币波动性高,风险更高,交易加密货币可能会变得病态和赌博。本研究旨在调查加密货币投资者的病理交易行为和频率,调查其他赌博障碍,并调查加密货币投资行为和冲动之间的关系。创建了一份在线问卷来调查这些问题。在调查问卷中,使用了病理交易量表、南橡树赌博屏幕测试和巴拉特冲动量表。总共评估了300人。我们发现,总病态交易者占所有交易者的48.7%,18-25岁年龄组的冲动更高,高频交易者更病态,他们的冲动更高;此外,保证金交易者和日内交易者表现出更多的病态行为。似乎很大一部分加密货币交易者可能是病态的,他们中的一些人可能有加密货币成瘾,这可以被评估为赌博障碍的一种亚型。投资者和玩家的行为不时重叠。据说,这两种行为之间存在一个光谱,中间是“推测性”投资工具。考虑到与传统投资工具相比,由于波动性更大,风险更高,加密货币交易所可能会变得病态,类似于赌博。本研究旨在分析加密货币投资者的行为及其操作频率,以研究与赌博相关的其他问题以及加密货币投资者行为与冲动之间的关系。为此,创建了一份在线问卷,并使用了病理交易量表、南橡树赌博屏幕测试和巴拉特冲动量表。总共评估了300人。我们发现,病态赌徒占所有投机者的48.7%,18-25岁人群的冲动性更高,交易频率更高的投机者更病态,冲动性更强;此外,边缘投机者和SEANCE投机者表现出更多的病理行为。似乎很大一部分加密货币投机者可能是病态的,其中一些人可能依赖加密货币,这可以被评估为强迫性赌博的一种亚型。

Cryptocurrency investment: A safe venture or a new type of gambling?
Investment behaviour and gambling overlap from time to time. It is stated that there is a spectrum between gambling and investment behaviour, and there are “speculative” investment tools in the middle of the spectrum. Considering that it presents a higher risk because of its high volatility compared to traditional investment instruments, trading cryptocurrencies can become pathological and gambling-like. This study aims to investigate the pathological trading behaviour and frequency among cryptocurrency investors, to investigate additional gambling disorders, and to investigate the relationship between cryptocurrency investment behaviour and impulsivity. An online questionnaire was created to investigate these issues. In the questionnaire, the Pathological Trading Scale, the South Oaks Gambling Screen Test and the Barratt Impulsivity Scale were all used. A total of three hundred persons were evaluated. We found that total pathological traders were 48.7% of all traders, impulsivity in 18–25 age group was higher, high-frequency traders were more pathological, and their impulsivity was higher; also margin traders and day traders show more pathological behaviour. It seems that an important part of cryptocurrency traders may be pathological, and certain of them may have cryptocurrency addiction, which can be evaluated as a subtype of gambling disorder. Resume Le comportement de l’investisseur et celui du joueur se chevauchent de temps a autre. On dit qu’il existe un spectre entre ces deux comportements, au milieu duquel se trouvent des outils d’investissement « speculatif ». Compte tenu de leur risque plus eleve du a leur plus grande volatilite par rapport aux instruments d’investissement traditionnels, les echanges de cryptomonnaies peuvent devenir pathologiques et s’apparenter aux jeux de hasard. Cette etude vise a analyser le comportement des investisseurs de cryptomonnaies et la frequence de leurs operations afin d’examiner d’autres troubles lies a la pratique des jeux de hasard et la relation entre le comportement des investisseurs de cryptomonnaies et l’impulsivite. Un questionnaire en ligne a ete cree a cette fin et la Pathological Trading Scale, le South Oaks Gambling Screen Test et la Barratt Impulsivity Scale y etaient utilises. En tout, 300 personnes ont ete evaluees. Nous avons constate que les joueurs pathologiques representaient 48,7% de tous les speculateurs, que l’impulsivite dans le groupe des personnes de 18 a 25 ans etait plus elevee, et que les speculateurs qui effectuaient des transactions plus souvent etaient plus pathologiques et faisaient preuve d’une plus grande impulsivite; de plus, les speculateurs sur marge et les speculateurs sur seance affichaient un comportement plus pathologique. Il semble qu’une proportion importante des speculateurs de cryptomonnaies peuvent etre pathologiques, et que certains d’entre eux peuvent etre dependants a l’egard des cryptomonnaies, ce qui peut etre evalue comme un sous-type de jeu compulsif.
