2nd phase? Sure, as long as you concede that there are about 10,000 phases of logarithmic growth ahead, it's all just semantics.

People will always cry and moan about how they didnt get in early enough. People just cant stand loosing out on easy or free money. It's always the people who take risks that are rewarded (or sometimes not).

5 years later someone will revisit this thread to wonder that early adopters thought they are not early adopters 
And like we cry about not being able to ever buy thousands of bitcoins they would complain about not being able to ever buy a full bitcoin.

Maybe it'll see a new wave of early adopters then. I'm sure bitcoin will have reached the masses or gone bust by then though.

I agree. Were still early adopters to be honest. Maybe second stage or early adopters but were still climbing that hill.

Still not even 1% of the world uses bitcoin. Probably not even 1% of America.
Early phase it is.
Just because you aren't able to comprehend the full implications of bitcoin it doesn't mean bitcoin will not leave an impact. In other words just because you think bitcoin won't be worth a million dollars or more will not make bitcoin not worth it in the future.
And with future I mean within the next 5 years or so.

the OP is wrong, the party hasn't even started yet.
bitcoin beats gold as money in every way.
it is more portable.
more divisible.
more durable.
more fungible (cannot be faked).
gold current market cap: 6,843,931,394,072$ (http://onlygold.com/TutorialPages/All_The_Gold_In_The_World.asp)
bitcoin current market cap: 7,698,579,253$ (https://coinmarketcap.com/)
bitcoin will be worth 6,843,931,394,072 / 7,698,579,253 = 888.986 times more than today when it replaces gold as a store of value.
that's without counting other metals such as silver and additional value from replacing paypal/visa etc...
everyone who holds bitcoin today is a very early adopter, the fact that anyone can buy bitcoin doesn't mean anything because the market penetration is still low when compared to the potential market.
and not only that but we are in a unique era in history when EVERY government currency is a fiat currency and is being printed to oblivion.
anyone who doesn't see the opportunity here to become filthy rich doesn't deserve to have any money.

Yes.
All is more simple and transparent.
not like bank that it take from 3-10 days to transfer money on an other "national" bank ...

you don't just fit bitcoin into some old economic model. bitcoin models you.
June 21, 2014, 01:23:35 PM
I sure hope those initial developers, early adaptors, nerds and investors are all future billionaires.

I suggest you read the following discussion about early adopters, etc.

it depends how you define the meaning of early adopter.
My defination is : if you buy Bitcoin b4 google & amazon accept it , you are an early adopter

This is exactly right in my opinion, there are a few big names that are about to accept BTC but when the very largest companies do, then what comes next?

"a young couple were woke up and lookd at the clock for the time, and realised it was late. they looked sadly into each others eyes that they have just missed a romantic drive to see the sunrise, they started arguing both thinking that this must be what the rest of their relationship will be like. all because they missed a romantic morning drive"
they are both 18 years old...
one day they will realise that there are 365 sunrises a year and possibly 80 years of life ahead of them.
they were not late, they have not missed anything, tomorrow is another day and there is along time ahead of them
bitcoin translation:
there have been many rises before, but you think you have missed the best rise... and now argue.. you seriously need to realise the future ahead of you, and the many fantastic rises ahead

Technically speaking...the moment you get into bitcoin your an "earlier" adopter than everyone that gets into it after you :p

Sure, many average people have HEARD of bitcoin thanks to the bubbles and media frenzies of the past years. They know what it is (money) but they still don't really understand it or know why its necessary.
Not all of those people are rushing online to dump all their USD on Coinbase. Just like it took YEARS of receiving crap America Online CD-ROMs in the mail to get people to try out the internet, this will also take years. (5-10)

OP: Do you have any data to substantiate your sentiment? Or is it just a sentiment biased by your personal inability to scale numbers in your head?
June 20, 2014, 11:04:58 PM
Who knows what the fiat price of BTC is going to be, but one thing is for certain. Bitcoin is here to stayf
June 20, 2014, 10:58:22 PM
Me <------------ 0 shits given what phase I'm categorized as. Let's just Bitcoin, baby!
