As a newbie in the space, I'm interested in knowing what your motivation is and why you are taking cryptocurrency learning seriously?
The vast majority are here to make more money.
Not necessarily more money. For some, it may be enough to be able to save their money. Otherwise, hyperinflation diminishes all the results of labor and reduces the effectiveness of its activities.
There might be a few that have already achieved enough wealth, and want to contribute to a system, which could potentially either replace our current broken system or be the foundation, and inspiration from future cryptocurrencies.
It seems to me that there may well be enthusiasts, without accumulated wealth, who want to contribute to change the future of the modern financial system. After all, Satoshi also didn't strive for untold wealth. Why not be here for people like him, but on a smaller scale (I hope no one will dispute the significance of Nakamoto's figure)?
Ultimately though, Bitcoin allows you not only remove the requirement for any third party, but it also allows you to work remotely much of the time. Especially if trading, but also a lot of what Bitcoin offers is global transactions, without the risk of chargebacks like fiat currencies. So, some will be here to avoid those issues, especially if they can do their job without working for a company, and offer it online.
Yes, bitcoin allows to manage not only your finances, but your life in general. Because the second one depends on the first one. Bitcoin gives the freedom to choose your work and work in the way you want to organize it.
