What data?

Practically everyone I know owns crypto at this point. Me and many of my software engineer friends have had a pretty significant amount of our portfolios allocated to crypto for over a year now. Some have quit their jobs to work full-time in crypto.

Painting crypto investors as "folks from high school that barely passed basic math and never left their home town" sounds not only insulting but comically inaccurate. I've been invested heavily in crypto for over a year now and definitely don't fit to that ridiculous profile you derived from your Facebook feed (who even goes on Facebook other than baby boomers these days anyways?).

I'm a software engineer and no one I know owns crypto.

Everyone is in their own bubble these days.
