内容摘要

In July 2020, the Chinese government warn that the Plus Token was a Ponzi schemes based on blockchain. More than 200 million investors were involved in this scam. We investigate how investors’ search behavior is associated with their relative decisions. We find that the bitcoin bag of words Baidu index is positively and significantly related to bitcoins transferred to Plus Token addresses, suggesting that public prominence of searches about bitcoin and blockchain tends to be related to investor decisions regarding the Plus Token project.

2020年7月，中国政府警告称，Plus Token是基于区块链的庞氏骗局。超过2亿投资者参与了这场骗局。我们调查了投资者的搜索行为如何与他们的相对决策相关联。我们发现，比特币词袋百度指数与转至Plus Token地址的比特币数量呈显著正相关，这表明公众对比特币和区块链搜索的关注度往往与投资者对Plus Token项目的决策有关。
