Early adoption phase was single maybe double digits. Like with anything, the more people know about it and the more mainstream it goes, the less profit you can get out of it.
Not sure what really early adopters think about btc? Are they still in? Or sold and enjoy the money or invested in something else the public did not heared about it.
And bitcoin @100.000$ is so absurd if we can't even pass 600. Maybe 100.000$ when you can buy an lollipop with that amount of dollar in next future.
And yeah I'm very pissed that i bought @685 and can't pay out at the moment without an loss of 10k

In a sense, anyone who buys before bitcoin reaches its final, stable price (somewhere north of $100k) could be considered "early". Certainly if we ask the next generation, should it survive that long. All depends on perspective.
More like in an advanced phase. I believe that the coming months will make or break Bitcoin. Also, Bitcoin is being almost exclusively kept as an investment, instead of being used as a currency (yes, that is obvious, but I just wanted to emphasize that little fact). If no big players start adopting Bitcoin before december 31st 2014, it will be over. Investors will start to realize that Bitcoin is overpriced and at that point, everyone will rush to the door.
I don't know about the other cryptos in such a situation though.

Last year called, they want their main argument back.
Though I'd prefer not to respond to your comment, I still will do just that. I believe you are trying to 'frame' me in a certain category of people, something which I do not like. Also: this is my opinion and mine alone. I didn't have this opinion back in 2013, and above all I'm free to express it. It always catches my eye how many proponents of Bitcoin on these forums immediatly resort to ad hominems and other wrong strategies of conversation.
I simply saw that you were a new user with a 9 post history expressing doubt. I'm free to express my opinion too--I get tired of posts that rehash the same argument over and over again. It's nothing personal, but this place is overrun with trolls and skeptics who delight in spreading FUD and Schadenfreude at every opportunity.

What you just described is called market capitulation, not necessarily the end of bitcoin.
It is interesting what you say, especially that in my game I will be accepting bitcoins exclusively and no one will convince me to use 3rd party companies like paypal or other banks. You are talking from speculative point of view and I'm from practical and I have no doubt bitcoin will succeed.

Yes. Be prepared to be called a sinister "early adopter". 
It's like the internet. The day your Mom sent you a FB friend request it was all over. Wait until she sends you BTC to pay for collage textbooks, then we are mainstream.

yes I think we are, but I also feel like we might always be in the "early adopter" stage, kind of how Google Glass users will always be early adopters.
Would you say we are in early adoption stage?
Yes. Very early.
