Answer 1

You can use inline CSS just for that case. You already have a .wrapper element, so if you want to put a static served image you'd do something like this:
<div class="wrapper" style="background-image: url('{% static 'default_page/bitcoin.jpg' %}');">
Your content here
</div>
If you want to use in your CSS files, just use the absolute path according to your static configuration. If you serve your static files using /static (that means, the path /static/default_page/bitcoin.jpg is correct and shows you the desired image), you can just put into the CSS something like:
body {
background-image: url('/static/default_page/bitcoin.jpg');
}
Hope that works!
EDIT:
As Thomas said, you've placed the image in the wrong folder (inside templates instead of on your static files folder). Refer to this to configure your project the right way.

Answer 2

You've placed your bitcoin.jpg in the same folder as your templates. Django serves all static file, such as pictures, from the static directory. Only templates go in the template directory. Create a directory called static inside your hompage app, create a directory inside that called default_page, and place your background image there. Restart the dev server, and your image should appear.
