I answered "Enthusiast" but I could go for "Regular" or "Bitcoiner" as well.

There are so many differences in opinion when it comes to what defines a Bitcoiner. And what about Bitcoin miners? Are they professionals?

from my point of view, miners are professionals, they are practically working in the industry
yeah, so choices are similar, but it is hard to put all choices there, and to have them all totally different

just as someone said, we are all unique, and it is hard to made a mold, that all of us find themselves a place in there

I don't think there's a need to have "Bitcoiner", "enthusiast", and "regular". Since, I'd like to think if you are a regular, you're enthusiastic about Bitcoin, which by every definition probably means you are considered a "Bitcoiner" by everyone outside the industry, and visa versa for all of these.

Personally, I think if you're on this forum you are very much a all of the above. Since, this forum software is rather dated compared to more conventional modern means i.e Reddit is usually the go to place for social media revolving around a project or technology. This forum, usually brings better discussion or at the very least more in depth thought out responses because of the nature, since Reddit is very much catered to short typed out replies.

The demographics I'd be interested in seeing would be;. how many of those that are employed by a Bitcoin project, what percentage of those are paid in Bitcoin, and how many project owners are seeking to employ people with the primary pay being in Bitcoin.

I don't know how to define myself in this situation. I am between enthusiast and professional, but sometimes I am just a regular person, become an object for this crypto industry. So, let's called it a "TedMosby". I made my own option, it's unique only to me.

I do what I love about crypto, but sometimes I got a professional contract because of that.
My best of the best achievement so far in this crypto industry is, talking bad things about a crypto project during lunch break at a crypto summit a few years ago.
guess what? I don't know that the guy who sat 45 degrees in front of me is the co-founder of that project. Yes, we are at the same 1m x 1.5m table.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.

Most people here in the forum would really fall being an Enthusiasts and I, myself is considering one of it and that's not I think a surprising feat. I think you should at least provide a simple description about the Bitcoiner in the poll at least to get some people know about them especially if there are Newcomers will try to pass by this thread.

I would like to suggest a change for the description on the regular poll; about holding at least one coin besides top10, coins to invest in is mostly about preference. A lot of veteran users in the cryptocurrency space are all into Bitcoin as they believe it's the most ideal currency.
I would say I'm an enthusiast as I vsist the forum and read on topics everyday.

Voted as Bitcoiner, hope to see more votes into that category. Even though I am holding altcoins still the intention of holding altcoins is just to increase my bitcoin holdings by doing bump and dump. And also I am learning more and more about blockchain technically so I may choose a career related to that in future but for now I am just a holder not doing any professional jobs in it other than trading.

Bitcoiner is just added, and it is expected to have more votes, maybe it would have more if it were there from the beginning
nevertheless, it is hard to put so many choices, and ensure that those are not overlapping, so this six should be enough for everyone to find themselves, even if that is what is most appropriate, not only

however, there is a lot of Bitcoiners on the forum, I am sure, and should have that from the beginning

Bitcoin needs you!

Enthusiast for me too . It is difficult to define everyone and I certainly crossover into a few of the other definitions as well .

I voted for Enthusiast although I could have selected Regular or Professional as well. I am here almost on a daily basis which makes me a regular. I am an Enthusiast, but I am trying to improve my Bitcoin reserves and not my altcoin holdings as it's described in your OP. I provide some off-forum services for bitcoin which would make me a part-time Professional as well.

interesting point, I could enter Bitcoiner in the list as well, did not thought about it, but yeah, some people in the forum are certainly just want to increase their Bitcoin holdings, not altcoins

and there is a big difference between your description, and myself, but both of us entered as Enthusiast

, I am here regularly, but trying to acquire altcoins as well, and can hardly tell that could be Professional, since I am not working within any crypto project at the moment, or ever
although, that could change in the future

found some interesting poll on other website, where users were putting their roles in the industry, and it would be interesting to see disposition in Bitcointalk forum, where are you?

- newcomers are mostly new members in the industry, just getting to learn something about the industry (it would be good to describe them as BTC/ETH owners, but most newbies are going for altcoin scams, unfortunately)
- regulars are here and within crypto portals on daily basis, but their investing is limited to ETH, BTC and some top 10 coins
- enthusiasts are trying to improve their earnings with good altcoin projects in their portfolio, within this bull period
- professionals are employees within industry
- project owners are company owners (no matter size)
- Bitcoiner should be seen as it is, as people oriented primarily to Bitcoin
- Fudsters are non-believers
- Shitposters - as the name say
- Influencers have some social media channel to promote cryptocurrencies, no matter size for this voting

and if you indicate that you are a project owner, you can put link to your project here in the topic
