The more interesting finding here is not the INTJ skew but what it reveals about self-selection bias. Myers-Briggs has been debunked by personality psychologists for decades -- test-retest reliability is around 50%, meaning half the people who take it twice get a different type.
The fact that Bitcoiners cluster on INTJ probably tells us more about who is attracted to personality typology than who is attracted to Bitcoin. The real personality predictor for Bitcoin adoption is probably openness to experience (Big Five model) combined with low institutional trust -- neither of which MBTI measures.
