A recent survey conducted by professors Andrew Perkins and Troy Cross has challenged the assumption that political affiliation influences Bitcoin ownership. The study, which involved 3,538 individuals, found no significant correlation between political ideology and Bitcoin ownership. Instead, Bitcoin owners were found to be moderates across the political spectrum, with a higher representation of young and male individuals. The study also revealed that knowledge about Bitcoin, belief in its utility, trust in the protocol, and perceived morality were the strongest factors associated with Bitcoin ownership.
