People will overgeneralize this. The biggest similarity is that they are both personal finance / money related subreddits. The other connections are mostly the human mind making a story. Not everyone on r/poor is poor, not everyone on r/btc owns a lot of bitcoin.

/r/btc is actually the bitcoin cash subreddit (though they welcome conversation of other cryptos). Most people in that sub probably hold very little bitcoin if any (except perhaps those who joined by accident).

In /r/bitcoin you get banned for discussing other cryptocurrencies, so I'd wager most of the subscribers hold more bitcoin than anything else.
