Someone on Reddit attempted to apply cognitive biases, based on Eliezer Yudkowsky’s “Cognitive Biases Potentially Affecting Judgment of Global Risks”, to Bitcoin: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1qua30/cognitive_biases_that_make_people_skeptical/
I don’t think I agree with all of it (is ‘black swan’ really a cognitive bias? and I don’t think bystander apathy applies to investments), but still interesting.
