Are we still early adopters? Or did that pass after 2010/2011? - page 5.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

One can only hope that we are still very early. I saw bitcoins for the first time when they were at 50 dollars each. I wanted to invest but didn't... Now I bought my first coins a few days ago Cheesy

If purchased at ~$900 USD, in about two weeks, or more, you'll recognize a positive ROI.

Nice chart but are you sure buddy? It looks like we're finishing the early majority phase and going down hill for a while Cry

This chart is about the number of people involved in the technology, not about the Bitcoin price.
While Bitcoin may fail before reaching early majority, you can be sure it hasn't reached it yet.

Learning the troll avoidance button :)

Either exiting innovators moving into early adopters
Or exiting early adopters and transitioning into early majority over the next year or two

We are still amongst the early adopters I think but that phase is slowly ending

1 Bitcoin = $10,000.00 USD in about 5 years. Maybe less. (Maybe more.)

I think we're only just leaving the "Innovators" phase ATM. Once mining is out of the general public's hands we'll be in the "Early Adopter" stage.

agreed, still very early.. maybe we're in 1996-1997 in terms of the internet. bitcoin is not going to be as ubiquitous as the internet though. what i like about bitcoin is that most of us are regular nobody/joes.. so it has a grassroots feeling.

There are less than a million people who own significant amounts of Bitcoins (i.e more than equivalent of $500 in BTCs).

Do you have a reference for that number? It looks way pumped to me.

Just a wild guess... Read somewhere that there are some 3 million BTC wallets.. Calculated based on that. 0.1 million to 1 million might be an accurate range?

"early" is relative.
To other bitcoin people, someone from 2013 is late to the game.
To the rest of the world, we are early adopters...

There are less than a million people who own significant amounts of Bitcoins (i.e more than equivalent of $500 in BTCs). If we talk about an extreme-bull scenario, then we can expect more than 1 billion people owning Bitcoins (may be by 2030). So that makes all of us "inovators".

We won't know for a while I think. Technically speaking, I'd say early adopter still at this time.

We are definately early on. Actually bitcoin is still geeky even among geeks and some mainstream coverage every now and then haven't changed that.

People say we missed the train... but yet most people don't understand what bitcoins are let alone even know about it, and its still in it's early stage. Some say it has potential to increase in value 1000x more... but some say that will never happen. So do you guys think people who invest now are still the "early adopters"? Why can't I ever be a part of explosive gains?? Sad
