Published:30 November 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

This research has the aim of knowing the role of Access to Technology (AT, Firm Innovative (FI), and Herd Behavior (HB) towards individual Intention to Invest in Cryptocurrency (IC)., which are further moderated by Overconfidence (OC) and Past Behavior (PB) to find out their relationship to the wealth creation obtained. The data was collected from individual cryptocurrency investors in Indonesia using non-probability sampling questionnaire to verify respondents have an experience in cryptocurrency investments and valid to be references in measuring the impact of intention to invest in cryptocurrency on the wealth creation. Statistical testing through the SEM-PLS method shows that AT, FI, and HB have a positive and significant influence on IC. Moderation of OC on IC shows a significant positive relationship to WC because it helps individuals think more rationally by considering other people's opinions and own analysis. Moderation of PB on IC also shows a significant positive relationship to WC because it helps individuals set strategies in achieving the desired return from previous experiences.
