The likely impact of crypto was mobilization, rather than persuasion. Crypto owners have demographic and political profiles we'd normally associate with very low turnout. Entirely possible that highlighting crypto got more of them to the polls.

There's also some indication that crypto ownership interacts with race/ethnicity in shaping political preferences in 2024. It could have led to more persuasion among Black and Hispanic men: not sure I have enough data to be sure.

There is definitely an overlap- I argue that it’s mostly about offering young men a path towards new models of masculinity.

It's about the fact that people who scam attract scammers. All crypto is, is hoping that you won't be the one left holding the bag

More about credulity than masculinity.

Perhaps- though I don’t have a reliable measure of credulity as I do for masculinity.

There is a lot of research on the topic. Looking at who is drawn to conspiracy mindset, how people are scammed, how and who and what people trust, what drives fear responses and how the manifest, etc. I'm sure there's a lot of fruit to pick for further understanding. I'm curious what measurements

Depending on the study, I use a uni or bi-dimensional self placement scale. Captures most of the same variance as the BSRI, but short enough to go on general surveys.
