So many people may consider us as early adopters but I will differ slightly from such opinions. If you asked me about who should be considered early adopters then I would say those joined within the very first three years. We those who joined after that only saw that it was good probably from the lifestyle of those who were already in.

It's still early for us all to start, because this is just the beginning of development, so many people do not even know bitcoin, so we are; privately-owned jokers; called early adopters

Considering how low the price is, the number of tech giants studying about the blockchain, and the unending hearing by the government agencies and lots others. I can comfortably say that we are early adopters since the vast majority of the public are still wondering if this is a bubble as been erroneously alleged by some selfish expert.

I agree that the price is low now. In spite of that, I don't think we are early adopters. If we are early adopters, then what about those who bought bitcoin at 1 dollar or mined many bitcoins easily usong a laptop?

I don't understand what price has to do with anything. You have coins that are years old and still never reach any certain price. You have fiat currencies that people use everywhere and yet their value goes down year after year. Heard of the US dollar? The later you "get in" on USD, the cheaper it is every day. Early adopters of US dollar bought it at very high prices, don't you think.

Anyway, pointless to ask this question and get in only if you're early adopters. Ask those who thought they were too late in 2012, 2014, 2016.

I think, that all will be even better, than in 2009)Course should significantly grow.I think it will be about$100 000)and it would not be bad to have a good time to accumulate bitcoins.In 10 years there will be a lot of changes.I think we will be very surprised that what we now think fiction will be the absolute norm.And the information and technological process in the first place.

I'm glad to know your opinions about that...


Try to image 10 years from now...It will be comparable with 2009 "early adopters"?

I think if you have to wait another year it feels too far and maybe the new generation will start in a good year. I only hope that it will improve and I benefit from all this work.

maybe it's late for being early adopters of bitcoin but It's not too late for others coins...we must look for coins that are not ico or bounty but people are too stupid for this....I regret I did not get bought coins like litecoin,vertcoin or viacoin when they were very very low in 2015...there is a good dose of luck of course, but you must always do your own researches...for example watch Elicoin in livecoinwatch , is not an ICO or bounty... it's a coin with low mc, low supply, PoW whit cpu, no premine, active dev...only trading it on CREX24 for now...do you own researches in the thread in bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3028302.0..I bought them 2 months ago and if you watch it in livecoinwatch you know why now I laugh very loud Smiley people are too stupid for DYOR and got scammed by ICO or bounty...just my 2 cents...hope it helps...cheers

Yes we are. If, as I expect, this technology will be there and will become the "base" protocol than we are early.
Imagine this like learning SMTP in the mid 90s.

Even though there has been some advancement the base protocol is still the same and widely used.

Not really. When I came in at 2012 very few people were using bitcoin and I could mine tiny little amounts with my laptop.

I think the real early adopters are those who could solo mine on their PCs and get blocks of 50 bitcoins.

By that definition I'm not an early adopter.

And yet we all are early adopters even to this day because the network isn't really up to whitepaper standards yet. We can't yet handle microtransactions and bitcoin has not yet become easy to use for everyone.

I will not argue with the fact that more people still did not knew what Bitcoin is but as we are all agreed, Bitcoin is still young and yet to grow but if you look at the adoption rate and its price trend since its inception wayback 2009, we could say that it has gone so far and would take more miles for the next 10 years.

We may be early adopters for some altcoins which may boom in the future but not for bitcoin. The early adopting time is kinda over as we have seen many developments already.

I think we have another two to three years window of opportunity maximum for what we call early adoption stages. Once we get customers in from Bakkt, Fidelity and CBOE EFT if accepted etc, then we will see many price hikes in Bitcoin and Altcoins, which may make it harder and harder for newbies down the line to make the kind of multipliers we might still be able to make over the next 2-3 years. I lost almost everything since January 2018 and my capital is very very small now, but am hoping that even if I can get to half the amount I was holding back in January, I will be really happy for the few years of hard work I put in crypto, then I would take 75% out this time so I could be financially comfortable at least and not worry about paying rent, food, and bills for a few years and still try to grow another bag for kid and grand kids.

That depends on what will happen in the future.
If cryptocurrencies survive for the next 20 years and succeed to replace Fiat or at least has more value than it does now, then the answer is yes, we are early adopters, otherwise, we can say that we missed the train.
We are still early adopters I think because we are now getting opportunity to buy more bitcoin. If we are all holding bitcoin there is big hope that the price going to increase again and everyone is waiting for it. Bitcoin have more improvement and really a potential coin, we are early adopters because some country not yet accepting it but we are enjoying the benefit from it already.

Yes. In fact, we can still be "Early Adopters".
The Bitcoin community has grown a lot since 2008. If the trend continues, we are undoubtedly the pioneers.
Because there is no definitive formula that explains in detail who is an early adopter, but as long as the price of bitcoin has not reached
a very high price, and the total bitcon users are still small, and the age is not old, we think we are still early adopters..
Exactly. There's no specific formula to describe an early adopter. But I'm guessing that the number of users and the price constantly grow decade after decade, going through developments like mass adoption, standard usage, etc.

Actually i don't think that we are still early adopters anymore.. Yes we did but not anymore. Today everyone know about the bitcoin and cryptocurrency and the blockchain system is in our life now. I have met with this community and this forum in 2016 but how i wish that i came earlier.. If i started 2-3 years ago, now i should be a rich man.
