> How Many People Would Pay $10k in Bitcoin to Avoid Exposure?
As of 2026, global crypto adoption remains niche. Estimates suggest ~5–10% of adults in developed countries own Bitcoin.
Having $10k accessible (not just in net worth) is rare globally.
After decades of decline, global extreme poverty (defined as living on less than $3.00/day in 2021 PPP) has plateaued due to the compounded effects of COVID-19, climate shocks, inflation, and geopolitical instability.
So chances are good that this class of threat will likely be more and more of a niche, as wealth continue to concentrate. The target pool is tiny.
Of course poorer people are not free of threat classes, on the contrary.
