Forgive me the classification "Asian" and "Western," am living myself in Asia, great inspiring place, there's not the slightest negative connotation in the title.

Tried to do some research on the topic, difficult to find any worthwhile information:

Are Asian and Western crypto investors behaving differently?

With many markets in firm hands of Koreans, Japanese and Chinese, what does it mean for price development and the overall cryptocurrency market / industry?

Are Asians really the gamblers we often hear? Would that prevent solid price increases?

Are Westerners really the more traditional investors looking for sustainable values and growth potential?

How would the markets behave differently with more / less Asian / Western investors?

How things are now, you consider it to be a good and healthy development, or we're rather on a risky path?

In 2017, crypto market very interesting with investor from Asian, special from developing country, example Korea, Vietnam, India ... (I not choose Japan and Chinese because they are have more exp in trading crypto past time)
More people from investor HYIP, Ponzi project, dice, betting ... become to trader and they trading look like as gambilling or ponzi, ex: pump some coin just notification in a group have huge member and the price will pump very fast, but then will down very more because the people send this news have bought a huge coins before notification that and take profit after pumped!

It's impossible to generalise and be fully accurate on these things... but I do think that many Asian cryptocurrency investors have been too hyped about this whole situation.

My justification for this is that the price in South Korea (and to a lesser extent, Japan) is at a significant premium to Western prices. Because arbitrage is difficult, the markets are wild and the investors there begin to deviate from the Western trends.

This could imply that the prices are more speculative/a gamble, because the fundamentals of Bitcoin have not justified those prices throughout most of the recent rallies.

I really don't know. See, I'm originally European and I live in Asia now. Europeans, at least those that I know, aren't gamblers at all, but the Asians that I know aren't either. I've never seen any reliable data sustaining that one or the other culture was more directed towards gambling. What I'm seeing is mostly people constantly repeating the same cliches, without ever providing sources for what they're saying.
Speaking of which:

It's not a secret the asian Exchanges are the most used and most traders are from asian countries at this moment.

Source? Anyone can trade on any exchange. I can go and trade on an American exchange if I want, even though I've never been to America. How do you know that people who trade on Asian exchanges are Asians?

I think you are right on your statements. Most western investors prefer more solid investments, traditional ones. Asian investors are looking for any kind of investment that could give them chances to make profit, and now focused in technology.

I believe this happen because asian people want to make money fast as they are in need, while western people have already a more consolidated life, more confort and they aren't desesperate for money, at least most of them.

Possible to see this by looking the Crypto market, asians are the majority parcel of users in exchanges.

You find the fortune 500 companies mostly listed from the european country. In technology wise they are moving faster than asians in the IT and infrastructure. Most of the asians are getting wages and projects from the US and UK. As investment wise Western people are best to take decision.

I don't doubt about it. But I'm not thinking only about developers and creators, but common investors in Crypto-Currency, users.

It's not a secret the asian Exchanges are the most used and most traders are from asian countries at this moment. The asian countrie's people adopted Crypto-Currencies faster (for some shady reasons too, like thieves creating Ponzi schemes with fake AltCoins and Bitcoins). And as you can see, the biggest mining power amount is in China.
