The term millionaire is rooted in fiat.  Should BTC replace fiat, 10 coins should be enough to classify as wealthy.  That number can be argued.  But we need a new term for someone with enough BTC that they are wealthy.
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I think it's a bit premature for that, in terms of purchasing power. When BTC has large enough purchasing power to actually compare to a major currency, we can talk. But the economy is still tiny for now.

What is delusional is thinking that fiat is gonna be here for over 20 years

That is very much delusional.. but I guess your teachers didn't teach you that in school huh?

Who is to say that bitcoin will be the mainstream crypto of the future? I'm not convinced that it will be the one.

To be a part of the crypto community in some form makes you rich in appreciation for an alternative to fiat.

I agree with what you are saying though in that how do you measure wealth in bitcoins. It all depends what a single bitcoin can entitle you to buy right now - which isn't a lot.

In the English language it usually refers to having a million dollars, pounds, or euros. It usually does not mean having a million in currencies with significantly deviant unit values.

It's kind of weird that we're stuck with millionaire, today 1 Million dollars isn't really all that much.

To me it would be a lot but I'm smart with my finances and I don't buy useless fluff. (Not all the time at least).

1 Million dollars is like 67 years of minimum wage (which is a shitty definition of a rich person)

Or maybe 20 years of a fairer minimum wage (still not the definition of rich).

Now if you own a house and a paid off car you are above average. It is sad the way our expectations for life have been so eroded.

I don't own a car or house.

I could own a car if I wanted to but it seems like a waste of $$$ at this point.
I'll get my CDL and become a truck driver for 2-3 years and then I'll become a programmer.

+1 for bitcoinaire

Bitcoinaire sounds nice!

What about a 10+

If you are a 1+ you have over a coin and if btc goes to 100k being a 1+ will make you rich.

So a 10+ would be todays millionaire with btc over 100k.

The new world order won't allow a bunch of libertarian geeks to become that wealthy.

They will roll out their own version sooner or later that will actually become mainstream and push bitcoin back into irrelevance.

A "bitcoinaire" is good enough since 1 BTC will be more than 1 millions $ in parity purchasing power  Smiley

Bitcoinaire sounds really awesome!
But, getting back to OP, in some countries, depending on the buying power of it's currency, you need to be a 'billionaire' in order to be wealthy. It's all relative to what you can buy with a certain amount of monetary units.
