Most people aren't binary, whereas just because someone is a hardcore Bitcoiner doesn't automatically mean that he/she will just automatically shun out and ignore other non-Bitcoin projects. And I see myself to be in this category; a Bitcoin mostlymalist!

It just depends or the individual whether they're only big on Bitcoin, big on both altcoins and bitcoin (with Bitcoin being the primary asset choice) or they might have same level of interest across all crypto projects. For instance, I'm big on bitcoin and a few high cap altcoins (won't mention name) and you're on mostly bitcoin with some interest in other projects. Another person might just don't like bitcoin but is totally in on altcoin projects.

This is because as humans, we're all different and there's enough more categories than OP or other community members have commented about.

There's another kind of personality in bitcoin world and that is a combination of the three that you've listed, meaning that that person is smart and practical in terms of his/her investment. That person believes in the potential of the market but is also smart enough to get those opportunity whenever it presents.

I differentiate only two categories of Bitcoin users:

1.People who believe that Bitcoin and blockchain technology is the future and after X amount of years,Bitcoin will dominate the world of finance.You can call them Bitcoin maximalists.

2.People who view Bitcoin as a way to make "easy" money(by trading or HODLing),so they are into the BTC community only for the money and nothing else.
They don't care about blockchain technology,hashrate,Segwit,Taproot,sidechain projects like Lightning Network or cryptography.
They only care about the BTC price,making money and that's it.
I don't know how to call them.Maybe "greedy traders" is a good name. Grin

Which one do you think you are?

I don't know if those three elements fall into my category or not.

However, I've looked and people involved in Bitcoin say something more interesting.
Maybe you need to look again: Four types of people you’ll meet at the bitcoin market, this one looks more accurate.

Idealist
Faithist

I somehow think that idealist and faithist are rather similar concepts.

Bitcoin Maximalist

I prefer to call them purists.

Not all bitcoin maximalists are purists. Some are maximalists simply because they don't find the altcoins appealing for them (and frankly, most altcoins' price evolution was disappointing).

All in all, OP classification is incomplete; there are many ways to see/classify the people vs bitcoin.

I think there are more Bitcoin opportunists in the forum. What is your opinion on this?

There were many waves of people coming here only to earn some easy money. Are they bitcoin opportunists? No, because most of them are not even bitcoiners.

Which one do you think you are?

I could say that I'm kind of "a bit of everything" (although not literally). I am not a purist, but I dislike most of the altcoins; I am not maximalist, but not too far from that; I do believe in Bitcoin future and I HODL some; and I'm an opportunist too, since I don't say no for a quick buck.

Bitcoin Maximalist - bitcoin enthusiast who believes that we should only have one crypto and that is BTC. Those are hardcore believers and according to them, all other crypto like altcoins are but inferior.

Wasn't the "maximalist" defined as those who don't want any kind of change in the Bitcoin network and who think Bitcoin is only good as long as Satoshi's fundamental ideas remain completely unchanged? I've seen those kind of people referred to as "maximalists" around here back when SegWit was hyped up while they were against it

There are three kinds of people in the Bitcoin world, idealists, opportunists and faithists.

Based on the definition of each people, you just changed the names for investors (short), traders/speculators, hodlers. Mind you that these groups doesn't exist only in bitcoin but also on altcoins and other financial markets.

There are three kinds of people in the Bitcoin world, idealists, opportunists and faithists.

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.

I think there are more Bitcoin opportunists in the forum. What is your opinion on this? Which one do you think you are?
