Is Cryptocurrency Investment Solitary? The Darkness of Judgment Caused by Lack of Consultation Partners
Clabo Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ikuma Ueno) conducted a survey targeting 992 individuals engaged in cryptocurrency investment, focusing on "the presence of consultation partners and decision-making in investment."
The survey results showed that approximately 30% of investors operate in a "solitary environment" without anyone to consult, and more than half of them responded that the absence of consultation partners affects their investment decisions.
Interestingly, the data also paradoxically highlighted that those with consultation partners, such as investment peers, are more likely to experience conflict, wishing to "quit investing." This suggests the importance of establishing "one's own investment philosophy" rather than merely relying on others.
This report analyzes the disparities in consultation styles based on occupation, annual income, and age, and considers how to improve information literacy to help solitary investors overcome "decision-making hesitation" and make more reliable decisions.

### 30% Have No Consultation Partners, Only 7.4% Consult Experts
**The group with no one to consult recorded the highest at 28.4%**
A survey on the presence of consultation partners in cryptocurrency investment found that 28.4% of respondents said they "have no one to consult," making it the most common answer.
This highlights the reality that approximately one in three people make decisions alone in a highly volatile market without relying on anyone.
The next most common answer was "investment peers (including online communities)" at 26.4%, indicating that connections through social media and chat tools play an important role.
On the other hand, only 16.8% consult "family," showing a tendency to prioritize online relationships over close personal ones.
Notably, only 7.4% of investors are able to consult with "experts."
Despite the complex nature of tax and legal frameworks in this field, fewer than 1 in 15 people receive professional advice, which is a very low level.
### Households with Annual Income of 10 Million Yen or More Have High Expert Consultation Rates
When analyzing consultation partners by household annual income, a clear tendency was observed for the proportion utilizing "experts" to significantly increase with higher income.
In the group with an annual income of 10 million yen or more, 14.5% consult experts, which is more than 2.5 times higher than the group with an annual income of less than 4 million yen (5.6%).
Higher-income individuals are thought to have a stronger awareness of protecting their assets and actively seek access to professionals such as tax accountants and financial planners.
Conversely, lower-income groups have a higher proportion of "no consultation partners" at 32.1%, and it cannot be denied that this may lead to information disparity and differences in the quality of decisions.
Furthermore, higher-income groups also have a high proportion of "investment peers" at 29.7%, suggesting they build diverse information gathering routes.
The data reveals a structure where economic余裕 directly correlates with the expansion and improvement of consultation networks.
### 35.1% of Public Servants Are Isolated and Have No Consultation Partners
By occupation, "no consultation partners" reached 35.1% among public servants, indicating that they are particularly prone to isolation compared to other occupations.
It can be inferred that there are psychological barriers for public servants to discuss investment with those around them, as well as the influence of their work environment.
On the other hand, "company presidents/executives" had the lowest proportion of no consultation partners at 19.2%, maintaining strong connections with investment peers and experts.
Specifically, the proportion of those with investment peers was the highest across all occupations at 34.6%, indicating they are part of communities with high information fluidity.
Among full-time homemakers, the proportion consulting "family" is high at 23.7%, suggesting that in-home communication is the basis for their decisions.
It can be said that there are significant disparities in the "ease of consultation" regarding cryptocurrency, a new asset class, depending on the occupational environment.
### Impact of the Absence of Consultation Partners on Investment Decisions
**More than half responded that the absence of consultation partners affects investment decisions**
A survey on the impact of not having consultation partners on investment decisions revealed that the total of "significantly affected" and "somewhat affected," categorized as "affected," reached 51.3%.
It is clear that the majority of investors feel some anxiety or hesitation about making decisions in a solitary environment.
