- Abstract: We present a survey to evaluate crypto-political, crypto-economic, and
crypto-governance sentiment in people who are part of a blockchain ecosystem.
Based on 3710 survey responses, we describe their beliefs, attitudes, and modes
of participation in crypto and investigate how self-reported political
affiliation and blockchain ecosystem affiliation are associated with these. We
observed polarization in questions on perceptions of the distribution of
economic power, personal attitudes towards crypto, normative beliefs about the
distribution of power in governance, and external regulation of blockchain
technologies. Differences in political self-identification correlated with
opinions on economic fairness, gender equity, decision-making power and how to
obtain favorable regulation, while blockchain affiliation correlated with
opinions on governance and regulation of crypto and respondents' semantic
conception of crypto and personal goals for their involvement. We also find
that a theory-driven constructed political axis is supported by the data and
investigate the possibility of other groupings of respondents or beliefs
arising from the data.
