This would be the very few, assuming its the ones that havent created anything, but just held on or shorted for profit and bought back in at right times.
Its a rare case, but there will be a small percent who made a good sum if value goes up, but the value discussion has been going on for last 4 years lol. Not to be a downer or anything.
This is also true. I think some people on this forum has this idea that every bitcoin early adopter is going to be filthy rich. That's just not going to happen. There will be very few people who will make any significant amount from bitcoins (assuming bitcoin succeeds), and of those, most of them will be people who already have money like the winklevoss brothers.
The number of middle class people with the guts to bet a very significant amount of their wealth on bitcoin is not that high.
There might some people making a few thousands or a few ten thousands, and they might be happy with that kind of a gain. But the ones who make millions (not 1 million, 1 million doesn't do much these days) will be very few. I suspect that it will be less than the number of multimillionaires google or facebook made. Especially if we ignore the people who are already multimillionaires to begin with, and only count newly minted ones.
