I got a story for you, one with robots, risk, and a whole lotta opinions.
CoinGecko, the big brains behind all those crypto price charts everyone’s glued to, decided to ask the crowd: “Would you trust an AI to handle your precious coins?”
The answers? Let’s just say, the room got loud.

Between February and March 2025, CoinGecko ran a survey, anonymous, of course, because nobody wants to admit to a robot they’re nervous.
Out of 2,632 crypto people, about half said, yeah, AI’s gonna beat humans at trading and investing, most of the time. And they’re probably right.
The other half? Not so sure. It’s like a family dinner where half the table’s betting on the new kid, and the rest are sticking with Uncle Vinny’s old-school instincts.
Over half the people called themselves long-term holders, diamond hands, if you will. Another quarter were the day traders, living for the adrenaline.
Most were still pretty new to the game, with 53% in their first cycle, 34% in their second, and just a handful of grizzled veterans with eight years or more under their belts.

But here’s where it gets spicy, because a solid 27% think AI will often outsmart humans in short-term trading.
Another 22% are convinced the machines will always win. When it comes to long-term investing, about 24% think AI’s got the edge most of the time, and another 23% say it’s a done deal, AI’s king.
Add it up, and nearly half the crowd is ready to hand over the keys to the bots.
Still, don’t count out the skeptics. About 13% figure AI will rarely beat humans at trading, and 10% say it’ll never happen.
For investing, 15% think AI’s only got a shot once in a blue moon, and nearly 10% say, no way The most popular answer? That AI will only sometimes do better, like a coin toss at the craps table.

Now, trust is another story. 38% wouldn’t trust AI with their wallets if their life depended on it.
Only 35% say, sure, let the bots have a go, and the rest are just sitting on the fence, watching the action.
Curiosity’s got the better of most. 87% say they’d let AI manage at least a tenth of their portfolio. About 36% would let AI handle the lion’s share, 60% or even more. And 15%?
They’d hand over the whole stash, no questions asked. On the other hand, 13% wouldn’t let AI near their coins, not even for a second.
