Holding Bitcoin depends on what you are doing, because if you trade at this moment, there is a high possibility that you will lose. Because Bitcoin not only helps the poor, but if you use it without any purpose, then you will face losses no matter who it is. However, holding Bitcoin for a long time will definitely be profitable and you will be able to build wealth, in this current situation you must follow different strategies to be profitable.
It is not a matter of being poor or rich, what we see is only the intention. The person who can hold Bitcoin for the right purpose and move forward towards the future, that person will be successful.
There are two things that I want to point out here.
The first one is that we need to understand what 'poor' means, because when we say or anyone says that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies help the poor, that is actually a wrong statement, because a person who is poor will not have resources to they can use for making investments, and you can't make anything out of cryptocurrencies without doing that. So a person must at least have some resources to begin with, and if they do, they could be called middle-class or something, but not poor.
The second thing is, we need to stop saying that one can build wealth from Bitcoin or crypto investments, because this is also a wrong statement. An investor is only going to earn good profits from their investments in crypto, even if it's Bitcoin, but wealth is something else. Building wealth is only possible through businesses and stuff and not just making investments, unless you become lucky and that asset blasts all of a sudden, but we know that isn't possible with Bitcoin anymore.
