In 2018, the alleged "crypto winter" only 17% of responders said they started making trades, and just 11% in the last year. Traders that started prior to 2017 tallied 27%.
Looking at how this data correlates with sentiment over time, according to the Fear & Greed Index, in 2018 the overwhelming sentiment was fearful, which goes some way to explain why 2018 saw a drastic reduction in the amount of new traders entering the space. Unfortunately, the index does not track sentiment prior to 2018.
Looking at the data over the last three months however, suggests 2020 is set to continue the trend of modest adoption from the masses.
If the sentiment scores below 50, the community is deemed to be "fearful", if it goes above 50 the chart labels the mood "greedy". In the past 12 weeks, there have only been 3 weeks of greedy sentiment compared to 9 of pessimistic.

As Deutsche Bank’s chart illustrates, the Internet saw around 500 million users after...
