Different Types of Bitcoiners

[TOGIBI]

After reading several posts on this forum, I’ve come to the following conclusion:

Some people invest in Bitcoin to:
• Make a profit;
• Have more control over their own money;
• Protect themselves against inflation;
• Or combine these three goals.

Personally, when I see some people wondering if they’ll get rich by owning just a small fraction of a Bitcoin, it amounts to underestimating the value Bitcoin offers.
The question isn’t, “Will Bitcoin make me rich?” but rather, “Will Bitcoin adoption continue to grow over time?”

Bitcoin is not a hot topic that will make people rich, but rather something that will make your investment more valuable at a time when the world is facing currency 💶 devaluation and centralized (government 🏛️ currency control/inflation) financial 〽 losses.😭

If more governments and people 👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👦🏻‍👦🏻 hold Bitcoin in the future, its value will increase and this is naturally observed!!
Bitcoin's value is created by its acceptance and use. It was not created by any luck or control, but rather its decentralized independent economy and non-inflationary system is what makes it popular and valuable!💰

There are definitely different tribes of Bitcoiners, but I wouldn't separate them too neatly. Most people are some ugly mixture of all three depending on the day, the price, and whether their local currency is currently being put through a wood chipper or not.

Some people arrive for profit and stay for self-custody. Some arrive because their bank annoyed them... Some talk about inflation protection but panic-sell the first time Bitcoin does its usual 20% slap across the face. That's normal. Bitcoin has a funny way of sorting tourists from residents.

I also don't think wanting profit is automatically shallow. A monetary network that grows in adoption should, by design, reward early risk and patience.
