When MooDeng reached a market value of US$400 million in one week, and when GOAT reached a market value of US$800 million in two weeks, more and more people in the community broke their thighs. People who were short-selling or short-selling are regretting why their purchases have returned to zero, and whether they have caught up with such a good opportunity. Not only meme coins, the price of Bitcoin was also close to a record high in the early morning of October 30, once touching $73,562.It’s just $160 shy of another all-time high.
After so many years of speculating in currencies, you will definitely find that everyone has different trading styles, logic, and favorite projects due to different personalities and experiences, but everyone has made money to a greater or lesser extent. This year is a watershed in the crypto industry. Bitcoin and altcoins are completely independent trends, and memes have become the absolute leading narrative. We really want to know what kind of benefits everyone’s respective personalities will bring in such a historically rare market situation.
It is the sixth anniversary of the cryptocurrency trading platform Bitget. As a trading platform that has experienced several rounds of bulls and bears, it is a more suitable reference for user portraits. So we hit it off immediately,Asked Bitget to help us contact 100 usersto try to find the correlation between personality and trading. For personality, we chose the now popular MBTI test, which has a total of 16 types of personality, which is more subdivided than zodiac signs. During the interview, we covered trading styles, risk appetite, returns this year, and even designed scenarios to see what decisions they would make in specific scenarios.
After in-depth research and interviews with these 100 Bitget users,It is not difficult to find that type I introverts account for 76% of the currency circle, while extroverted E people account for only 24%. INTJ accounts for the highest proportion, reaching 18%, and INFP, ISTP and INFJ occupy the second, third and fourth places respectively. There is another personality that was not collected in this sample.
It should be noted that this article is only based on a small sample survey of 100 people, which may be biased and cannot fully represent the entire cryptocurrency community. Next, let’s take a look at the trading experience of each MBTI. Are you the “outlier”?
INTJ: Insight

In terms of investment return:This year’s INTJ return rate of 46.67% is between 0-10%, which is a representative of the conservative group.; 40% of the returns are negative, which may be due to too in-depth technical research and forgetting that the market still fluctuates; 13.33% of the returns are between 30-50%, regaining some trading winning words for INTJ’s research personality right. INTJ’s investment approach can be summed up in one sentence: “Before others discover the treasure, I am already digging for it.”They prefer trading on the left side and make arrangements in advance before the market pays attention. Therefore, they are one step ahead of others and like to play Bitget pre-market trading and launchpad..

They value high-quality information and trust verified sources of information, such as academic papers, white papers, and technical reports. Gossip news? Thanks, not interested. If a project isn’t technically innovative enough for them to stay up all night working on it, sorry, next person.
INFP: Feelings
If you are in the corner of a coffee shop and see a person drinking a latte, reading philosophy books, and thinking about how to use blockchain to change the world, then congratulations, you have met an INFP in the currency circle. Their hearts are filled with ideals and emotions, and they believe that cryptocurrency is not only an investment tool, but also a way to realize social ideals.

Nearly half of ISTPs will make decisions based on the project situation.. As for Meme coins, ISTP’s attitude is a bit subtle, with 53.33% interested, but investing cautiously, possibly out of research on market psychology.
In terms of investment return rate, their income may not be stable, and they may make more and lose more. Sometimes, they may get huge returns because of their investment in a popular meme; sometimes, they may miss market opportunities because of pursuing personal preferences. But 40% of ISFPs gained 30% this year.
A Bitget user with ISTP personality we interviewed is also reflecting on his own investment system. Because he is not sensitive to details and data, he mostly follows the advice of people around him, so he often forgets the positions he holds.being too slow in selling and taking profits, and thus accidentally became a “diamond hand”, cutting in half and returning to zero.Therefore, the product he uses most frequently now is Bitget to follow orders.

A Bitget user with an ISFP personality told us that he spends most of his time in K-line analysis and bicycle racing. Although these are things that can bring about a surge of adrenaline, they do not indulge in such excitement in their daily lives. Instead, they pursue a peace of mind and strict execution of plans. White papers and good news are created by people with good intentions, but most of the data such as transaction volume and market capitalization are true.. Therefore, in life, he likes to analyze the market and study K-lines alone.

The market is volatile and they may have completed multiple trades in a short period of time. ISFP earnings can be volatile.

Among them, introverted (I) investors are better at in-depth thinking, prefer technical analysis and research, formulate long-term strategies, and often play a “research-oriented” role in the market; while extroverted (E) investors rely on social insights to He is better at finding wealth codes at the forefront of the community and is good at capturing market hot spots.

During the topic selection of “MBTI and currency speculation style”, I also lamented that it has been a long time since I chatted with so many ordinary users involved in cryptocurrency at the same time. In addition to seeing the diversity of users, we have also seen the growth and innovation of trading platforms. For so many years of cryptocurrency trading, projects have increased from one a month at the earliest to tens of thousands a day now, and trading platforms are also constantly iterating. Adapt to the ever-changing trading environment.
Thinking of the most popular pre-market trading this year, it was actually started by Bitget. It is also an innovative application scenario that finally appeared after two years after the industry crash in 2022. The industry actually needs innovation in transactions.
Now, on the sixth anniversary of Bitget, looking forward to the next six years, perhaps the industry will develop to the next size in markets with unlimited potential such as RWA, stablecoins, etc. Bitget will maintain its current innovation and continue to create new trading scenarios. and products to meet the needs of different users. After all, whoever wins users wins the world. Perhaps the most praiseworthy compliment for a trading platform recognized by the industry is not only that “this platform can help retail investors make money”, but also that it can provideDiversified products to meet the needs of different types of investors.
And at the end, with the arrival of the voting day for the US election next week, Trump’s winning rate is steadily increasing, and the currency circle may usher in a more violent bull market peak. No matter what type of personality he is, we all wish him the best. Everyone can find the trading strategy that suits them best and maximize investment returns while paying attention to risks.
