You don't understand Bitcoin because you are 1) white 2) male 3) middle aged 4) citicen of the United States. Take away any one of those and with each step you get a little bit closer to understanding why Crypto/Bitcoin is perhaps the most important invention in human history!

Is there a detailed breakdown of the demographics of crypto owners?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the majority of crypto owners and crypto enthusiasts are younger white males who are better than average financially, probably #2 being Asian males of the wealthier countries/ethnicities of Asia.

The highest BTC adoption per capita is actually in Nigeria. So no, it’s far more diverse than you think.
Yep. Lots of (non-wealthy) South Asians freaking out on social media right now.

I suspect if a major mass media outlet popularized a story on the inequities of who wins and loses with cryptocurrency, the cancel culture people would be out in force, backed by environmentalists.

Wait until these outlets get hold of the story on standard currencies.
I can’t tell if your comments are serious or sarcastic.

I don’t belong to three of four of those groups.

You forgot to put /s in your comment.
