Types of Bitcoin Users

[Whosdaddy]

There are three types of bitcoin users online.The investor who always use to invest and grow bitcoins via investing,Second one is the trader,the one who is always want to secure and ensure his profit via online trading.Last one is the gambler who aways take risk of anything and have the highest oppurtunity to win big or big chance of losing.

So you only have three different types of bitcoin users. But what about some people I know who are not investing, not a trader, and not a gambler but are still getting bitcoins through other ways? Like selling stuff, doing services or tasks. They are bitcoin users as well don't you think?

I can't speak for the quoted poster, but it's impossible to capture every nuance. If we take where the action is we know most of the money is either dormant in the wallets, used on gambling sites, or running through the trade exchanges. This is not just based on how ones feels.

It is based on the data: https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/584.pdf

With a public ledger we can literally see who are the main types of people. People who sell or get paid are a tiny, tiny minority.

but it seems that ship has sailed and the user base is as diluted as most anything else these days.

If you're talking about this forum, it's mostly people with zero interest in Bitcoin (other than the penny shavings they earn from signature ads). They're typically paid per post, so they create/buy a bunch of accounts and spam the shit out of this place. It doesn't even have to be parsable English; most isn't.
I guess if I was broke in some third world shithole, I'd be doing it myself

Yeah it's a real shame. I think they should ban these sig campaigns personally.

basicly i agree with you all,but also we can't blame people who want earn money by coming to this forum and earn bitcoin by join signature campaign,we should respect them,becuase they also participate on bitcoin popularity,i rather if they doesn't exist,bitcoin will more popular like nowdays.

Pretty horrible article. This in my opinion shows you to what lengths the media will go to to get a story. Theyll insult a community, talk shit about someone , or even lie. Disgusting.

[sbtctalk]

Interesting word: fantasists. We have members hoping prices would reach $ 10,000 per bitcoin.

yeah, i used to read news articles here and there. mostly googling bitcoin and reading the news headlines on google news but after reading lots of crappy articles with a click-bait subject and a misleading story i stopped paying any attention to the news.

There is another type of people. Those who are just trying to earn extra money, because they lack the monthly salary from work, or even the unemployed.

As for the title, and the media. Media disinformation subordinate to the government, if they are ordered to lie, and they will lie and slander. In my country to cryptocurrency are still negative, since the government extremely stupid imbeciles do not have the relevant knowledge. And so they ordered the media to lie and frighten time in prison for Bitcoins.

LOL I think we have a lot of users as you say there are some people who dream and wait for bitcoin prices towards $ 10k
I did not know they were going to wait until several hundred years? but I can only say keep dreaming dude LOL

[bitbunnny]

I think that you have forgotten about high educated people who are interested into tehnology, cyberspace and new inovative things. They represent also a significant part of Bitcoin users.

Yeah those person that with just a price jump they can say now that the next event will be the skyrooocckkket...

Anyways no wrong to desire for a price as always. So be it.

the basic types of investors are the same as on any currency market:

- speculators / traders
- investors / savers
- people who use bitcoins for transfers
- people who use bitcoins for payments

Anyone who uses Bitcoin is a Bitcoin Users. And all bitcoins Users are like one family.
We all need to be together to be able to promote our bitcoin.

True, but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that people use bitcoin for different reasons and thererefore might have conflicting expectations (for example traders want volatility, merchants want stability)

Highly educated people and technology has nothing to do with the use of bitcoins.I never went to school but I can use bitcoin core professionally.Moreover I know people who have Doctor Degree but have no idea how to turn on a Computer.Bitcoin is for everyone provided they should be ready to adopt.

There are allot of bitcoin users you have allot of gamblers using bitcoins off course gambling will affect everything that has a value. Gamers are also using bitcoins now thanks to  steam. and allot of people who like to watch porn off course:p

[BitsandBites]

The article features the results of a survey by users here. In other words these are literally what the people here said they are.

[Blackmet]

A lot of ways to use bitcoin, but i think i can distinguish two main bitcoin users types. First type is people who using bitcoin as currnecy and the second is people who using bitcoin as invetment.

I'm idealist so they was right about that type. I think mowt of us here are idealist, we like this idea behind bitcoin and blockchain.

About other people I don't onow what to say, there will be bad and evil people always. System is like that, system make peopledo that kind of things. Not all of us had a pleasure to be happy and to have happy childhood.

I think we will see more types in the future. How btc movement grows more and more people willjoin. Logic says that we need to expect anything to happen.

No,I'm not an idealist ,neither was Satoshi. Whatever we have around has quite a number of practical appliances.Bitcoin was more of a feasible idea rather than an ideology.

About other people I don't onow what to say, there will be bad and evil people always. System is like that, system make peopledo that kind of things. Not all of us had a pleasure to be happy and to have happy childhood.

By system what you're referring to ? I can assure you the system created by Blokchain is encouraged by all the individual thinkers and rationalists.

I think we will see more types in the future. How btc movement grows more and more people willjoin. Logic says that we need to expect anything to happen.

That is a lie.That is not Logical at all.Logic says,Government are another altcoin projects are trying hard to take over bitcoin and utilize blockchain as much as possible.DAO's and ETH bullcrap.

Have you ever considered that this could be a true assumption, if only 1 {one} killer App were linked to Bitcoin payment or if one small country started to use it as a reserve currency. What do you think

will happen if one of the bigger e-commerce sites, like Amazon starts accepting Bitcoin as the only payment method? Yes, we have dreams and it might sound extreme... but the numbers adds up.
