Very few early adopters have profited good out of the holdings. Opportunists were the one to profit good out of the bitcoin investment. These are group of people who are much into the learning process and has the mind to take risk. Holding bitcoin is good and the long term profiting is the focus of the faithist.
Opportunists also prioritise investing on new projects. Real-time usage of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies happen in large scale through the second category of people.

There are three kinds of people in the Bitcoin world, idealists, opportunists and faithists.
I think there are more Bitcoin opportunists in the forum. What is your opinion on this? Which one do you think you are?
They all sound like the same. I mean in the end, they all are opportunist. Why do you think the "idealist" decided to withdraw? It's because they found an opportunity. Why do you think the "faithist" decided to buy more when the price was low, because they found an opportunity to buy at cheap. The end goal of all three here is the same. To make profit and get rich. This what the market has become now. - Idealist
Many early Bitcoin participants were mostly idealists, and they hoped to get a lot of benefits through Bitcoin. But many idealists have not persisted until now. After holding the currency for a period of time, they have not seen more benefits in the currency circle. They chose to withdraw due to their own greed. - opportunist
They prefer the volatility of Bitcoin prices and find opportunities to buy Bitcoin at low prices by analyzing market price fluctuations. When they see a opportunity in the market, they want to realize the freedom of wealth quickly - Faithist
They stick to their beliefs, believe in Bitcoin, and as long as they buy Bitcoin, they are willing to bear its risk. When the price of Bitcoin falls, they will not panic the market and choose to sell, but think it is a good opportunity to buy at a low price.

different depths, different fish, different fields, other grasshoppers, as well as people who play bitcoin, their ways are different but the goal is the same, both seek profit in investing bitcoin, there are types who are never afraid of any challenges, whatever happens to them will never be afraid, they still invest in bitcoin even though the state prohibits accepting bitcoin, there are also types of people who easily trust others, every time there is a negative post about bitcoin, he will waver and release their bitcoin..
What about hamsters?) after all, this is also one of the types of people in the crypto world in its own way... and the one who, at least once, has made a profit from bitcoin will forever remain an adherent of bitcoin, in general, it is difficult to classify and label people...how many people have so many opinions about this.
I must say the categories are well scrutinized and explained but I will love to add that there is nothing bad in been an opportunist or the majority of the people been in this category. If the price is low it is only advisable you buy and when the price increases you sell or decide to keep holding.
The OP is narrowing it down the perspective of all people been the sole HODLers of the gem for a long time to be able to hold others responsible to agititate for a common vision which is vested up Bitcoin beign the supreme cryptocurrency. I actually fall under the category he classed as "opportuniist", there is nothing bad in being one in my opinion. You are actually going for a goal which is to make profit whichever way it goes. It is for your personal gains. You've have earned on the shot time isn't it? Which one do you think you are?
probably i'm one of those faithist because i always follow what i believe only when it comes buying and holding bitcoin.. But i'm proud despite of being like that because so far nothing bad happened when every time market were struggling. And i believe also that being believer of bitcoin such how it really works is a big advantage and you can prevent losses always unlike those idealist.

I would come under the ‘opportunist’ category. Most of my trade strategies are focused on short term gains by making use of the high fluctuations in the crypto market.
Well, that rules me out of being an idealist if I'm not an early adopter. Doesn't sounds like I'm an opportunist either, since I don't trade, and really I just earn what I can, spend what I must, and then save whatever's left. And spend that whenever the need arises.
That makes me a faithist. I don't exactly buy either, but since I do try to earn as much as possible in Bitcoin, and none of the market movements either direction really flutters my heart, I guess that's most accurate.
Think there're more faithists on the forum than anything else really. Idealists have moved on and opportunists ain't got no time for forum chatting.

There should be some other kinds and I don't know where I'm going to be categorized.
What if someone possess all of those qualities? But maybe as a faithist, when the market goes with the drop, I'm no longer that guy before that panics whenever I see it.
it's true as you said, people who have played in bitcoin for a long time, and already know about bitcoin, I'm sure whatever happens they will never panic, because they have experience and have gone through many obstacles, different from people who are new to playing at bitcoin, every time there is a negative post about bitcoin, they immediately panic, and immediately sell the bitcoin they have.. What if someone possess all of those qualities? But maybe as a faithist, when the market goes with the drop, I'm no longer that guy before that panics whenever I see it.
- Idealist
- Faithist
I somehow think that idealist and faithist are rather similar concepts.
Idealists want to benefit from Bitcoin. When the price fluctuates or falls, they are susceptible to market sentiment and sell Bitcoin. But faithist always firmly believe in the interests of Bitcoin. They will not be affected by market fluctuations. Even if the price drops, they will choose to continue holding, believing that long-term holding will result in high profits.
I prefer to think I'm not that easy to pigeon-hole, but admittedly the 'Faithist' one does sound like me, heh. The market does whatever it does, but that's mostly a sideshow for me. The concept is always the bigger attraction.
I can't classify if I'm at least in one of those groups but to analyze it, people have almost one goal and that is to earn a good profit. Most of us will take the opportunity to earn by any means especially in the crypto world which offers lots of opportunities. We all have different views and levels of trust for Bitcoin and we can't blame others for giving up too early because Bitcoin investment is most likely a waiting game and good profit comes to those who wait.
Yes there are several kinds of people here and I also often meet yes. For people who are just experimenting and want to get results immediately, this is not the place. I mean it takes time and patience to be able to achieve it, that's why many people try and finally give up. Crypto prices that are currently unstable make people who just join have to be more patient and spend more effort. Where if we can go through it well surely it will bear fruit. That's what I also hope, I choose to wait until the crypto is completely recovered and stable although I will wait longer. I know it's a consequence and I've made up my mind that whatever happens, face it. We can only hope and see that the crypto market will recover quickly and give good results.
I think I am in all of those lists because, as an Idealist, I already take the benefit through bitcoin but I still hold my bitcoin and do not withdraw all of the bitcoin I have because I am also Faithist who believes that bitcoin will increase so high in the future. And when I see the price is down, I will buy more bitcoin and hold it, which makes me the Opportunist who wants to use the opportunity to buy more bitcoin.
I think the first one is called early bird 
but yeah some people will have their own character,
but for me itself i would rather to choose cryptocurrency maximalist
so go all in to crypto

there are 3 types of people in bitcoin, maybe most of them are people who are always looking for opportunities to make profits, there are also people who always pile up their bitcoins, then they sell their bitcoins after the price goes up high, maybe the third one is the weak hand, if there is negative news about bitcoin, he immediately sold all the bitcoins he had..
The common thing for almost all types of people here is that we are all after for the possible gain of our investments. And what route we need? That's what we deviate from each other. We all have the same goals but the journey that we will take may be different. So whatever category you fall into, just make sure that you are doing your best to gain from this market. Whatever route it is, it is your own strategy how you will take advantage of the market.
I like idealistic people, in addition to taking advantage of it alone, it will gain knowledge, so the opportunity to make a successful project in the future, I am an idealistic person, and love that.
Generally speaking, those who enter the crypto market early and choose to invest in Bitcoin, especially those who can hold on to it, are believers. I think believers and opportunists are a bit similar. These groups will choose to believe in Bitcoin. Everyone The methods and ideas are different. Although the starting point is different, but the same thing is wanted, they are all Bitcoin lovers.
But who can hold onto it? It is usually the people who are already rich anyway. That is why I believe that most of the millionaires / billionaires that were made due to crypto already have been rich beforehand. If you bought early and you haven't been rich, it is almost impossible to hold onto your BTC all the way up to let's say $30k or even much higher. If you got a lot in the bank anyway, you are way more resistant to the emotional stress dumps would cause to an average human being with a smaller bank account.
