Everyone come to the crypto space hoping to get rich,but let me shock you not everyone will make it in the crypto space!
A huge portion of people enter the crypto space primarily hoping to get rich. Surveys and data consistently show that the top motivation for most investors is financial gain: high return potential, speculation on price appreciation, or achieving "financial freedom.
"For example:In 2025 surveys (like Kraken's), around 40% of respondents cited "potential as an investment" as their main interest, with high short-term returns often ranking highest among reasons for allocating to crypto.
Earlier data from sources like CoinDesk and CNBC highlighted speculation as the most common reason, with excitement, ease of trading, and quick growth potential drawing in newcomers.
Crypto's volatility and stories of overnight millionaires (from Bitcoin's early days to memecoin pumps) fuel this. Many treat it like a high-risk gamble or lottery ticket, especially retail investors chasing 10x–100x gains.That said, not everyone is purely in it for the money.
A meaningful subset is drawn to the technology and ideology:Decentralization
Financial inclusion (e.g., unbanked people using it for remittances or escaping inflation)
Privacy
Blockchain innovation
Early adopters (cypherpunks, libertarians) were often philosophically motivated, seeing Bitcoin as "peer-to-peer electronic cash" free from banks/governments. Today, some hold for long-term store of value (like digital gold), diversification, or belief in Web3/DeFi transforming finance.But honestly, the wealth-chasing crowd dominates the headlines, hype cycles, and inflows—especially during bull markets.
The ideological purists are there, but they're outnumbered by those dreaming of Lambos.In the end, crypto attracts dreamers of all kinds: some want revolution, most want riches. The trick is surviving the volatility long enough to see either come true.
