I would even say that there are 5 types of attitudes towards BTC:
1. Denial.
2. Scepticism.
3. Interest.
4. Confidence.
5. Bitcoin evangelism.

You may not be wrong with this logic, but I think points 3-5 are just the same thing, because first you need to pick interest, and after you have really gotten a good understanding or experience, you will be more confident, after which you will want to let others know and enjoy the benefits of Bitcoin, which first is true decentralization. Also, those who are skeptical about Bitcoin will not buy the idea of having to deal with it (denial). But you did not mention those who have misconceptions about Bitcoin; their misconceptions may be due to some economic lies or some bad experience they or their friends have had with some shitcoins in the past. The truth is that everyone doesn't really need to have a good view of Bitcoin for it to exist. Bitcoin will remain unchanged from what it is, and before some people realize they were wrong about Bitcoin, it might have been too late.

I think 3 to 5 are different. This entails the level of trust of a person. Interest doesn't mean the persoh has trust on the Bitcoin Industry. It just got the person's attention and pique the person curiosity, there is no level of trust in this situation.

Confidence on the other hand shows that the person trusted the Bitcoin Industry and he is sure that nothing will go wrong partaking in the Bitcoin economy. while Bitcoin Evangelism shows the person's dedication to propagating Bitcoin. It is more than a trust factor because the person even dedicates his time and endeavor to spread awareness about Bitcoin.

Btw, you forget about Bitcoin maximalism. They are the view that Bitcoin as the only cryptocurrency and digital asset that will have – and should have, right now – any meaningful value. They see Bitcoin as only one true coin[1].

Bitcoin maximalism believers are unrealistically living in a fantasy world 🌍 that does not have much if any chance of ever happening. They are likely the most harmful toxic force against BTC that will ever happen.
