A recent study indicates that U.S. cryptocurrency enthusiasts resonate more with conservative moral values than liberal ones. While revealing a clear link, the findings are correlational and primarily focus on American crypto advocates. ...
Our analyses of a large set of Bitcoin tweets and a controlled survey indicate that binding moral foundations (Authority, Purity, and Loyalty) that are more closely associated with political conservatives better reflect one’s interest in cryptocurrency than individualizing foundations (Fairness and Care).”
So it’s sentiment analysis of a specific community (Bitcoin). The Bitcoin community has been more libertarian and toxic than others, in my experience. But I wouldn’t ascribe those attributes to the wider crypto community.

Probably just a coincidence, though.

It’s related because according to the study, those are the core beliefs of the people who like crypto.
Not sure who they surveyed. Sure as hell didn’t ask me.

Okay fair enough, it’s a better description but I think a bit splitting hairs.

It’s basically properties of fascism vs egalitarianism. They’re not pulling them from nothing.
Sounds correct to me.
