There are three kinds of people in the Bitcoin world

[Boov]

There should be some other kinds and I don't know where I'm going to be categorized.

What if someone possess all of those qualities? But maybe as a faithist, when the market goes with the drop, I'm no longer that guy before that panics whenever I see it.

Agree with that, everyone has the reason why they come here and it was their choice, but I think that we are all considered as an opportunist.In fact, we have thought that Bitcoin seems to be our opportunity to have a better living and that is why people are coming. But the question about faith and being an idealist is not what I see. Yeah, many just lost their faith once the market declines and turn their mindset into negative.

Losing faith against what other said is not idealistic, because only based on whay you hear and see. Not really a mindset that came from your own perspectives, knowledge and skills in trading. Same with my first time of crypto, my aggressiveness put me into regrets by those days that spending btc just to have fiat cash without knowing btc will come to this point that it became so expensive. Most probably, I do have an attitude of those three kinds of people in btc world.

There are three kinds of people in the Bitcoin world, idealists, opportunists and faithists.

• Idealist
  Many early Bitcoin participants were mostly idealists, and they hoped to get a lot of benefits through Bitcoin. But many idealists have not persisted until now. After holding the currency for a period of time, they have not seen more benefits in the currency circle. They chose to withdraw due to their own greed.
• opportunist
  They prefer the volatility of Bitcoin prices and find opportunities to buy Bitcoin at low prices by analyzing market price fluctuations. When they see a opportunity in the market, they want to realize the freedom of wealth quickly
• Faithist
  They stick to their beliefs, believe in Bitcoin, and as long as they buy Bitcoin, they are willing to bear its risk. When the price of Bitcoin falls, they will not panic the market and choose to sell, but think it is a good opportunity to buy at a low price.

I think there are more Bitcoin opportunists in the forum. What is your opinion on this? Which one do you think you are?

I Joined the bitcoin train late thus I am not an early participant how I wish I to become an Idealist unfortunately it isn't possible now, I think I fitted into No 2, I am always involved in buying low and selling high using my TA ability and price action with the aid of candlestick patterns to guide me on taking trading decisions appropriately with the aim of earning some quick profits although losses are incurred once in a while.
I am not a partaker of Faithist I don't want to take or bear any risk of course I don't have the financial means or capability to always buy and hodl irrespective of the market conditions. I give credit to those categories of people.

[TravelMug]

For me it's either you are a purist or maximalist or not.

There's no in between definition like the OP describe. Might as well fit the definition of a trader for the opportunist. There could be some who might try their hands on some altcoins, but I do believe that majority here is a holder and just accumulate bitcoin, making them a maximalist per se. Buy, hold, trade seems to be a the very tenant of a bitcoin enthusiast, hence maximalism.

The idealist who hope to get benefits from holding Bitcoin who after a while could not continue to manage the the losses, rather to sell out not to be in the zero level, is or was more like not having known the depths of bitcoin cycle.
The opportunist takes advantage of every slight move in the market, as the purpose of being in the market is to buy and sell with the intension of making profits. And
the Faithist, these are the core believers of Bitcoin which are not moved by the nature of the market and are not bordered by FOMO or FUD. With these kind of people, the certainty of the market to retrace back is inevitable.
In all of these, I might not be fully complete in each, I take causion in my actions, in holding and buying.

[Roy Asher]

Generally speaking, those who enter the crypto market early and choose to invest in Bitcoin, especially those who can hold on to it, are believers. I think believers and opportunists are a bit similar. These groups will choose to believe in Bitcoin. Everyone The methods and ideas are different. Although the starting point is different, but the same thing is wanted, they are all Bitcoin lovers.

[ropyu1978]

there are three types of people in bitcoin, the first is an idealistic person, he is always looking for new ways to take advantage of every opportunity that comes, the second is a weak hand, he has no stand, whenever there is a negative post about bitcoin, he always gets scared , that to three people who have faith, he has the mental steel of steel he doesn't care what people say about bitcoin, he stays to the point..

Maybe.

I don't know how to classify myself but when the market really drops, I am not panicking anymore unlike a few years ago. I used to panic but good thing that I've experienced that for the lesson that it has brought me today.

[TelolettOm]

An individual may not only have one category included.
For example, I am in the opportunist in which I am utilizing every volatility of Bitcoin to get the profits. This may be risky but if I am a trader or a daytrader, it is no matter. because volatility sometimes becomes the way to get a chance for profits.
And at once, if I am also a long-term investor or hodler where I do believe also in Bitcoin, making it as one of the long-term assets because I am sure that the price rate will go u[p in certain price as I target.

So, based on this situation, the category may not be strict to one person with one category.

it seems that idealists are like newbies who really need to discuss many things related to bitcoin more deeply. but because the longer they are in the bitcoin sphere, it is possible that they can be more confident and consistent in what they do with bitcoin. idealistic types can turn into the faithist's type at certain times over time.

[the rise]

I prefer people who create opportunities, in the world of cryptocurrency our goal is profit, such as making a profit from trading, investing, mining, staking. The person who creates the opportunity will easily benefit and it will be easy to do your best here.

[Dhoe]

there are 3 types of people in bitcoin, maybe most of them are people who are always looking for opportunities to make profits, there are also people who always pile up their bitcoins, then they sell their bitcoins after the price goes up high, maybe the third one is the weak hand, if there is negative news about bitcoin, he immediately sold all the bitcoins he had..

But who can hold onto it? It is usually the people who are already rich anyway. That is why I believe that most of the millionaires / billionaires that were made due to crypto already have been rich beforehand. If you bought early and you haven't been rich, it is almost impossible to hold onto your BTC all the way up to let's say $30k or even much higher. If you got a lot in the bank anyway, you are way more resistant to the emotional stress dumps would cause to an average human being with a smaller bank account.

[Blowon]

I like idealistic people, in addition to taking advantage of it alone, it will gain knowledge, so the opportunity to make a successful project in the future, I am an idealistic person, and love that.

The common thing for almost all types of people here is that we are all after for the possible gain of our investments. And what route we need? That's what we deviate from each other. We all have the same goals but the journey that we will take may be different. So whatever category you fall into, just make sure that you are doing your best to gain from this market. Whatever route it is, it is your own strategy how you will take advantage of the market.

[dansus021]

I think the first one is called early bird but yeah some people will have their own character,

but for me itself i would rather to choose cryptocurrency maximalist  so go all in to crypto

[michellee]

I think I am in all of those lists because, as an Idealist, I already take the benefit through bitcoin but I still hold my bitcoin and do not withdraw all of the bitcoin I have because I am also Faithist who believes that bitcoin will increase so high in the future. And when I see the price is down, I will buy more bitcoin and hold it, which makes me the Opportunist who wants to use the opportunity to buy more bitcoin.

[chanler]

Yes there are several kinds of people here and I also often meet yes. For people who are just experimenting and want to get results immediately, this is not the place. I mean it takes time and patience to be able to achieve it, that's why many people try and finally give up. Crypto prices that are currently unstable make people who just join have to be more patient and spend more effort. Where if we can go through it well surely it will bear fruit. That's what I also hope, I choose to wait until the crypto is completely recovered and stable although I will wait longer. I know it's a consequence and I've made up my mind that whatever happens, face it. We can only hope and see that the crypto market will recover quickly and give good results.

[Cling18]

I can't classify if I'm at least in one of those groups but to analyze it, people have almost one goal and that is to earn a good profit. Most of us will take the opportunity to earn by any means especially in the crypto world which offers lots of opportunities. We all have different views and levels of trust for Bitcoin and we can't blame others for giving up too early because Bitcoin investment is most likely a waiting game and good profit comes to those who wait.

[DooMAD]

I prefer to think I'm not that easy to pigeon-hole, but admittedly the 'Faithist' one does sound like me, heh.  The market does whatever it does, but that's mostly a sideshow for me.  The concept is always the bigger attraction.

[Caldear]

• Idealist
• Faithist

I somehow think that idealist and faithist are rather similar concepts.

There is a difference between an idealist and a faithist.
Idealists want to benefit from Bitcoin. When the price fluctuates or falls, they are susceptible to market sentiment and sell Bitcoin. But faithist always firmly believe in the interests of Bitcoin. They will not be affected by market fluctuations. Even if the price drops, they will choose to continue holding, believing that long-term holding will result in high profits.
