Topic: Are we still "Early Adopters"? - page 6. (Read 2614 times)
People are still going to refer to you as the early adopter of bitcoin because the price of bitcoin will go up again and only the early adopters will benefit most because at the new high price, only few people will be able to buy one bitcoin.
You are right I think we are still in early adopter of bitcoin but the adoption of bitcoin in 2009 is quite different from now because there are more people coming in compare to before...... But we are Still in early adopter because people who knows about bitcoin are less than the ones who don't know.
I still think we are early adopters, I have a friend who were doing all his life as a freelancer working on upwork since 2009, but never tried to user btc or any 0ther crpto for investment. I tried to ask why he replied because he knows nothing about it and hard to understand he added. And I thought to myseelf these kind of guys are the ones that doesn't adapt to environment.
Well we are still among the early adopter's due to the fact that just a few percent of the world population know and use bitcoin at this present time, and bitcoin is already ten years now. But I still believe that in couple of years to come more people are going to embrace bitcoin due to the freedom it offers.

Right now? No. In the future? Maybe. Us being early adopter depends on how long will Bitcoin be alive, if it dies next year or soon (I'm sure it wont), we are pretty much newbies. If it stays alive for 20 years or more from now, we would pretty much be veterans. For now, users who joined a year or two ago are pretty much new to Bitcoin.
Yes, bro, I think also we are an early adopter as you see bitcoin have only reached its one decade. But most of the country is not recognized bitcoin yet. Form the little experience I can imagine after 10 years from now we will be more experienced and profitable holder.
Probably, and hopefully yes, 10 years later we will be those, who were here, and who believed in this whole "crypto thing" way before everybody else. It may look like, there are a lot of crypto enthusiasts now, but it could be so much more.
I'm glad to know your opinions about that...

If there are some new coins and we immediately buy it, then we will be the early adopters of the coin.
But if we buy bitcoin now, we are not early adopters anymore because bitcoin early year has been passed.
However if you want to be an early adopter, you need to find a new coin which have awesome project and buy it.
This period is when bitcoin is about to be known globally. Comparing 2009 and now you will know that bitcoin is more popular now than in the year of inception. So we that are in bitcoin now are early and privilege adopters and if we know what we are doing within the next ten years from now and bitcoin surviving the current government onslaught definitely we will be rich and doing well. The key here if for bitcoin to survive and we the early adopters doing well with the information we have.
If any of you were early adopters you wouldn’t be posting here anymore.
No, you’re not. The early adopters were mining 100 or more coins a day at Deepbit, Ozcoin, BTC Guild and Slush’s pool. Those people cashed out long ago to buy Lambos, houses, and luxury items all over the world.
You’re not actually even in the second wave after the early adopters. Those people could no longer mine fast enough to become famously wealthy so they created the grand scam phase. The grand scammers were members of the Bitcoin Foundation (like Mark Karpeles, Charlie Shrem etc.), Pirates Ponzi pass through operators, Trendon Shavers himself, Michael Moriarty, Erik Voorhees, the 17yo Zhou Tong and hundreds of others. Many of these people became very wealthy and escaped. A few went to prison.
You are actually in the VC wave now. Investors with more money than brains (like the Winklevoss twins) were convinced to invest tons of cash by criminals (like convicted felon Charlie Shrem). These VC investors were left holding bags of bitcoin and are now desperately attempting to figure out what to do with it. I wouldn’t be surprised to find one of them online selling Bitcoin receding hairline tonic or Bitcoin erection pills. Most of them are desperate to keep the exchange rate from falling long enough for them to recover at least some of what they invested, especially since many of the altcoins are making headway into former bitcoin strongholds.
You’re not early adopters coming to bitcoin at this point. In fact, you’re way late to the party, most of the good booze is gone and you’re going to spend the rest of the night drinking cheap wine from a box. LOL

You know your history. I fully agree. Everyone else now who is trying to cash in are bag holders compared to those who already cashed out.
I am curious where people think we are on something like this chart. https://i2.wp.com/cryptohustle.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Hype-Cycle-General.png
When people are talking about Bitcoin being outdated and replaced by other cryptos it is hard to say you are an early adopter.
We are somewhere off of that chart on the extreme right.
I think that the real success of bitcoin as a currency and as an investment and the technology as a whole will not happen today, but in a few years. And the further it develops, the stronger it becomes. Therefore, we can say that we are seeing the very beginning of the bitcoin path, its origin and formation.
yes, we are still new users but there are so many people who doesnt know about crypto at all
That's the vast majority of people. Like 90%. Maybe more. We're all in a bubble of crypto-enthusiasts, and assume it's the same across the general population, but it's not
For sure. We are all pre-blockchain version of Netscape (there hasn't been any single app or chain that has ushered in mass adoption). So yeah, definitely early adopters.
I don't know for sure but in my opinion, we are early adopters now! it seems to me that we really are still at the moment and i don't know whether this will change ever but is this bad?
Yes for certain. I mean even if you are in the first 2-3% of users you must be considered as an early adopter. I would doubt we are even near that yet for real investors.
I'm glad to know your opinions about that...

Maybe in 100 years the ones who join in the first 10 years become early adopters, but if you join today you can't call yourself an early adopter.
We can't predict bitcoin's future, but maybe one day each coin will cost $1Million, so, for the ones who buy at $6.5k today would feel like early adopters for sure.
I'm glad to know your opinions about that...

We aren't early adapters at least those who joined recently as the bitcoin have already rose to such high prices and is still at the same level from many months that it seems impossible for bitcoin to go to more high prices in the future. And if you compare the returns provided by bitcoin to those who invested in 2009 till 2017 is way higher than it will ever provide to those who have just joined bitcoin and 10 years from now, so the people joining recently aren't early adapters or investors.
