Everyone who currently has bitcoin is an early adopter, because in 5-10 years bitcoin will skyrocket!

Yeah you right, when i still newbie about bitcoin and don't know anything. i'm just doing faucet everyday and oneday i feel this is waste my time. everyone start from newbie, so don't worry for newbies 
But in old days, the faucets paid out a lot. Today, faucets paid out micro bitcoins. Maybe the dollar value is still the same.
Back when those faucets paid out they where worth nothing but then they went up on price, same thing could happen to you. It's all relative.

When early times We can Coreduo processor System itelf We can more 5 to 10 bitcoins.But present situation We are big miners with consumption of high electricity. I saw from 2 years there are big variations in price. People adapted and awareness increased gradually and many things happened in bitcoin. Just take all are good for bitcoin’ s future. This is my experience about BTC.

Honestly faucet is waste of time no matter what your rank is. Only way it is not is the ones with big referral base... I don't have that or seek that on faucets as I don't want to send people out wasting time and me get a kickback from it.
I still say take time you would use on faucet and learn a sell-able skill. Pick something you enjoy but a few hours a day add's up pretty quick.

The major lesson learnt here is that you really need to make sure your bitcoin is safe.
Not only you need to store it in a safe place (not on exchanges, not in your compromised computer, etc) and make backups, you also need to make sure the backups really work before a disaster strikes.

This. "Being your own bank" means that you need to be extremely careful when managing your wallet(s) but also acquire the necessary knowledge to do so.

i know how you feel...
i lost much to bitconica, pirate and moonco.in - only some coins left. but luckily i still own more in fiat terms than i have invested in (at least as long bitcoin is above 100$).
btw i too think we are early adopters
i learned my lesson and i am HODLer now

Great story. Though most of the people think that early adopters sure have lots of btc, they're completely wrong. Looking back, it was great, but heck, regrets? :3 So newbies, don't feel bad. Most of the early adopters had lots of btc before it was cool. Not all early adopters are rich now because they have lots of btc; some have sold off their holdings when btc started to take the media's attention. :3

I only discovered bitcoins in last month of 2013. Not a very bright time to hear about the coin if you look from the point of view of today. I don't stand on any stash either. It was a wild ride, had to pay off for things. Through time, didn't make much. But I am keeping whatever I can for a long term, I will be holding for a long time now.
Btw I could fix any kind of bad hdd. Wish I knew back then. Could fix yours easily. Plus I thought there would be a way to make the old ghost backup work. If I am not sure. You could have tried!?

I called myself an early adopter but I'm also an early seller. 
I sold most of my coins on 2012 and in march 2013 and didn't buy again.
Right now I started to buy small amounts, this time I will hold it for long.

I almost started buying bitcoins a year or two ago when I heard they had jumped up to $100, then back down to $2.50 again. I am still kiking myself now for not buying. However, I had so many commitments that I had no spare time to learn how the system worked.
I heard of many stories of very early adopters selling loads of bitcoins for a few hundred dollars profit, then finding those coins are now worth thousands of dollars. It's easy to look back and criticise oneself, but who would have believed a bitcoin would be worth $1000 dollars when it all started off.

You just copied my post word for word!

You're a really good guy who cares. Hindsight is always 20-20. I've made a ton of mistakes also but that is how we grow and learn. Thank you for your story and God bless.
