This is how I believe that bitcoin is indeed for everyone because it is not only the rich ones are into bitcoin nowadays.
I agree with you. The image people have of a 'bitcoin holder' is often far from reality. A lot of people involved are just everyday individual not really flashy or living large. Majority of holders are drawn for different personal reasons not because its trendy or exclusive but i cant argue that there are people today who hold just because. While like i said the majority, some are just curious about the future and others simply want more control over their money (different reasons). It is very less about image and very much about personal conviction (the lack of this is why most people after any small shake, they immediately panic and sell).
Exactly the real hodlers are usually the quiet ones stacking sats on a schedule not the loud influencers. The image is hype, the reality is routine personal conviction is what gets you through the shakes when the "trendy" crowd has already sold and moved on.
