Do not judge the book by its cover

Some people might visualize bitcoin supporters as those who wear suits and look like finance bros. People might think that you must be so rich and educated to work in something related to bitcoin or invest in bitcoin. But some of you may be shocked that this is not the case at all. Even the most normal people whom you will never think is into bitcoin can be into bitcoin.

You may encounter someone who may not look so rich and only living a quite comfortable life but not totally a luxurious one that is into bitcoin. This is how I believe that bitcoin is indeed for everyone because it is not only the rich ones are into bitcoin nowadays.

One of the unique features that Bitcoin has, that made Bitcoin the most desired store of value is the ability for those holding it to remain private and free from public noticed.


So for that reason you don't know who is holding Bitcoin unless those that let you know and shows you they Bitcoin holdings, unlike physical businesses like hotels, real estate and others you don't need to tell people you own them before they know, but Bitcoin is not like that because of the privacy that comes with it.

One does not have to loud himself concerning bitcoin, because this is not about being a user, but those that truly understand how everything works and also knows what they are doing, there's no need for us to be much concerned about those exposing all they do in crypto, only an empty vessel shout.

You may encounter someone who may not look so rich and only living a quite comfortable life but not totally a luxurious one that is into bitcoin. This is how I believe that bitcoin is indeed for everyone because it is not only the rich ones are into bitcoin nowadays.

Those that often have many Bitcoin in possession will not be making noise about it, while those that don't have much and knows nothing will be busy shouting around that they are into bitcoin, while on the secret they have lost so much to ignorance, that is why we must not believe on whatever anyone is saying in public always.

[Maslate]

That proves equality within bitcoin, as both status can freely invest in bitcoin even without others knowing. This is why a lot prefer to invest in bitcoin no matter how volatile and unpredictable it is because it won’t create distinction between the rich and the poor. Although there’s always an advantage for rich investors as they can maximize their bitcoin accumulation easily while these poor investors would still have to work harder to earn and buy bitcoin.

Privacy is also a great feature of bitcoin. You can’t actually tell if that person has saved huge amount of bitcoin simply because no one’s gonna know unless if you tell it yourself that you’re actually into bitcoin.

[tabas]

It is why I don't judge anyone's appearance on what kind of finance status they have. You'll never know who are those humble people and can be with you to teach you their grit and experience on how they've made themselves wealthy. It's not only about holding Bitcoin but also being into investments and diversification. They're there to teach you the trade secrets of life and how they have made it. While the social media is into flexing culture and all they want is to flaunt what they have, you'd be surprise how many of them are broke and have a lot of loans.

[Joy- maker]

Bitcoin not only for rich people, bitcoin is for everybody so anybody who is interested to hold bitcoin as an  asset can start accumulating bitcoin and hold for long term.
Secondly you can't know who is holding bitcoin and who is not holding, a mere worker can be holding a huge amount of bitcoin in his or her bitcoin wallet, so stop thinking that only good looking people or people with luxuries are only holding huge amounts of bitcoin in their wallet.
Remember bitcoin is an open investment so anybody who is interested to invest in bitcoin can get started as soon as possible and there is no limitation to who can invest in bitcoin.

This is the uniqueness and advantage that we have. Some of us who are always open, such as influencers or public figures who are involved in bitcoin, always show off their luxury, but most of us still have several options where anonymity is always an important thing that we must maintain.

So even though we are involved in bitcoin and have a very large portfolio, those who maintain their anonymity will not be seen, including what they look like in real life.
Personally, I like this situation where I can still live freely without being recognized as someone involved in Bitcoin, as it helps, especially in the current climate where exploitation and crime are rampant.
Although there are no restrictions or recommendations regarding what we use in the real world, this is at least one way for me to maintain a low profile.

OP: Well, first of all, my apologies if my words sound condescending. You have more than 3k activity, so you're no novice. I'm applying what you mentioned about not judging a book by its cover, because with your experience, this topic should be a thing of the past.

To put it simply: you can own Apple shares, for example, even fractionally. We're in the age of globalization now, and you can access almost anything or any asset.

So, while the title of this topic is fine, it shouldn't imply that Bitcoin is only for the rich. That's already "passing grade" knowledge. A lesson that's been viewed a thousand times: Bitcoin is for everyone.

I do not agree. We have gone past this already. And in my estimation how you dress is not even any more a representative of what you do or what you are into. Someone can guess your network with just observing how you look. People who own bitcoin and are the forefront of bitcoin messaging are actually educated and are rich. If you own bitcoin, in my eyes you are already rich because soon your networth could 5x - 10x in 6- 8months, while the other regular non bitcoin working class person or entrprenuer's networth will only just 1x in 2 years.

[Sanitough]

There is no rich or poor with bitcoin, but everyone is equally welcome to invest on it, as long as you know what kind of asset you are investing, and you’re capable enough to utilize and maximize your investment despite knowing how risky it is as a volatile asset.

Bitcoin does not limit opportunities and privileges. But if you are a person who knows exactly not only it’s current value but definitely its future value, you will surely succeed with bitcoin, whether you’re rich or poor in the society you are currently in.

Bitcoin is designed in such a way that all people can buy and sell Bitcoin, there is no need to follow any general rules. A rich person can buy and sell Bitcoin spontaneously, a middle class person can buy and sell Bitcoin spontaneously. For this, he does not have to follow or obey any specific laws of the country. It is not controlled by any third party, due to which anyone can buy Bitcoin from any place at any age. However, it does not really depend on the interest in Bitcoin and which class of people is more interested. Just as a celebrity can be interested in Bitcoin, a daily wage worker can also create interest in Bitcoin. The spontaneous participation of all classes of people has made Bitcoin a unique feature.

If you trade peer to peer, no other parties engage in the trade between you and your trade partner but it is quite risk as your trade partner must be a very reliable person and you should have enough trading experience with that person. Otherwise, using an Escrow service provider or a decentralized exchange with Escrow will help you securing the trade better. The trade can not be be completed by your trade partner but you will not lose your bitcoin as the DEX will lock your bitcoins in the Escrow and only release your bitcoin if you confirm that you already received payment from your trade partner.

For Peer to Peer transactions, it's more simply, just broadcast your transaction with proper fee rate, and wait for confirmations from Bitcoin miners.

Nowadays most people are interested in Bitcoin, even if someone does not live a luxurious life, they are often interested in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is for everyone You can never guess that a person likes Bitcoin, if you guess something that is never trustworthy towards Bitcoin but at some point you will see that he has invested in Bitcoin. Nowadays it is difficult to guess that a person believes in Bitcoin because those who invest never reveal it to anyone. When they invest in Bitcoin, they do not tell anyone about their privacy but rather keep it patiently, and therefore Bitcoin investment can be done by everyone, it is open to everyone.

There is not most people are interested in Bitcoin as even with people in cryptocurrency market, most of them are altcoin enthusiasts while they ignore Bitcoin. It's fact but it causes painful experience for those altcoin enthusiasts as they knew about this market by Bitcoin news, Bitcoin bull market but eventually decided to engage with altcoins and ignore Bitcoin. They missed golden investment chance and fell to scam traps with abundant useless altcoins. It's about people in cryptocurrency market already.

More generally, around the world, there is the minority of people who are interested in this cryptocurrency market, and less people are interested in Bitcoin as said. This report from Pew research can help you with actual figures.
Majority of Americans aren’t confident in the safety and reliability of cryptocurrency

Roughly six-in-ten Americans (63%) say they have little to no confidence that current ways to invest in, trade or use cryptocurrencies are reliable and safe. This includes three-in-ten adults who say they are not at all confident, and a third who say they are not very confident.

Just 5% of adults are extremely or very confident in cryptocurrencies, and 18% are somewhat confident.

You know what. Your first sentence "bitcoin supporters wearing suits" is something that I never seen.

When you go to bitcoin conferences and seminars and such you see more casual people wearing hoodies than you do see people wearing suits. I think there was a big shift in 2018 when the ETF futures were launched and in 2021 when the Coinbase stock went live but prior to that it was mostly alot of computer tech bros that mostly attended those events.

This is proof that there was a major shift when Wall street welcomed Bitcoin and especially with the Trump administration how he is lax with regulations unlike the prior administration.

[Darker45]

If there are people who "visualize Bitcoin supporters as those who wear suits and look like finance bros", that's because Bitcoin has lately taken an image of an investment product or asset that mainly traditional financial guys play with. With all the Bitcoin news focusing primarily on its price and how much is BlackRock, Fidelity, Ark, ^BTCStrategy, and others are adding to their portfolios, a perception is created that Bitcoin is an investor's stuff.

Years ago, the image would have easily been one associated with the thick eyeglasses and unkempt hair of the geeks. That was the time when Bitcoin was more perceived as a technical stuff that only a small niche could understand and appreciate.

[TheUltraElite]

It is definitely not rich suits and rolex watches. Most bitcoin users I perceive are hidden in plain sight. Maybe your next door student or that geeky weeb who never received any attention from the neighbors or that random cool dude whom you meet everyday at the grocery store.

No proper bitcoin holder will attempt to show off their riches because they fear extortion and personal attacks.

But I guess bigger institutions want you to build such an image in your mind to be able to invest in their crap etfs.

This is quite an annoying assessment, because anyone can own Bitcoin if they want, and it doesn't indicate the direction or quality of their thinking, which is very relative to the assessment. Bitcoin investment is simple and requires no third parties, making it possible for anyone to get involved. Even the most unpredictable can own Bitcoin if they want to buy it. Some time ago, someone owned Bitcoin without anyone knowing, and I was surprised to see that he had been actively investing for the past four years. This shows that anyone can own Bitcoin even if they never talk to the general community.

This is not about bitcoin, it's more about you and I, if you are the type that likes quiet lifestyle and you are into Bitcoin, you choose to remain silent and not look expensive because of who you are, you don't change right after you buy some Bitcoin.

It is also the same for someone who likes dressing like the rich, even if they have nothing they will always make sure that they look expensive, if such people eventually buy some bitcoin they won't hide it. Only few people changed for what Bitcoin is all about, these few people adapts to any conditions necessary, Since Bitcoin is a decentralised currency they choose to use it in such a way, private and quietly.

Doing your own research, best due diligent research, make your blueprints for investment action in the future, and execute it silently but consistently and determinantly will help you to do it better than letting you derails to your main purpose by exposing too much to other people and noise on social media.

It is also the same for someone who likes dressing like the rich, even if they have nothing they will always make sure that they look expensive, if such people eventually buy some bitcoin they won't hide it. Only few people changed for what Bitcoin is all about, these few people adapts to any conditions necessary, Since Bitcoin is a decentralised currency they choose to use it in such a way, private and quietly.

It also relates to potential risk as living a noisy life can put your life in danger. Many people around you will know that you are a Bitcoin investor, know that you are rich and not all of them are good people so that there are people possibly have shady dangerous plans to do with you.

In history of the market and community, there are many sad stories reported on Bitcoin physical attacks. I am quite sure after reading those sad stories, you will feel more fearful and might choose to live a humble life in the present and in the future as well.
