Topic: if you are just investing in Bitcoin now, you're an early adopter or innovator - page 2. (Read 2573 times)

i think we're still at the start of the early adopters phase.

anyone coming out with late majority, go climb a mountain and get some perspective. that's ridiculous.

I'm probably wrong, but I do feel that quite a reasonable amount of people has seen Bitcoin at least once and many of them are actually using or have used it. Comparing to a few years back, mainstream interest is much bigger. We see many "newbies" asking for input and tutorials on how to buy and transact comparing to previous years. Thus why I wrote what I wrote.

I know many people aren't into crypto (at least I don't personally know anyone who is). However we've got quite a lot of people online interested. Besides, we're way past the time when Bitcoin was "the new thing".


I don't see why my post suggested the opposite? Blockchain technology and how we transact using it is very, very different from Bitcoin. They're two things in their own. Bitcoin will probably be insufficient in the future for worldwide usage. New coins will cease being issued around 2140 as per estimations. Bitcoin also has a scaling issue that we can't solve in a future proof way, at least for now. The possibility of Bitcoin evolving so much that it we won't be able to call it Bitcoin anymore or the possibility of having to replace it has been discussed in the community for years. What if something bigger and better than Bitcoin comes in 20 years? Pretty much nothing is eternal, and Bitcoin will likely die somewhere in the distant future. However, the idea of a blockchain will remain and the idea of money free from government control will too. So yes, we are at an infant stage of blockchain technology and its money transacting capabilities, in my opinion.

Nicely depicted! Yes, we are still in range of 'innovatory' and $2500 is surely not the best of bitcoin.
Now we are talking of the time where bitcoin is being accepted legally in few major countries and soon will be legally transit in 90%+ countries of the world. So we can easily expect bitcoin to be $10,000 soon. So here we are all among that top 1% population comprising btc investors. If we don't gonna be fix atm, we may loose big in future.

It depends on how good august goes with UASF-NYCfrankensegwit camps fighting... if we can reach an agreement backed by Core devs, $100,000 is on sight in the next decade.

If we fuck it up and bitcoin hardforks into two coins, it's pretty much over, we'll go back in time several years. Nobody is going to trust bitcoin as a store of value if it can hardfork.

So if hopefully Jihan Wu and the big blocker loons cooperate, we may have a good outcome.

Is everyone on this thread out of their mind?  The number of unique Bitcoin addresses used per day is around 500,000.  If we're very optimistic, that could be a few million active users and potentially some HODLers or traders as well.

That would put us at about 0.1% (absolutely right at the start of the innovator phase) max, if we assume that Bitcoin will actually match that adoption curve.

Stop thinking about things based on what you see today and assuming that everyone is into crypto just because you are.  Nearly no one actually is - many have heard of it but very few have got involved.

Don't know why you just suggested the opposite then.

Seems to me a bit too much optimistic to assume we're in the Early Adopter stage... However we're probably still in the Early Majority phase.

Regarding blockchain technology and how we conduct transactions using it... If we look at it from that perspective, then we're at the Innovators stage

There is no way to know for sure where we are now in the bell curve. Only hope

I'm in Bitcoin since 2013 but I don't think I'm early adopter, although I wish I was. If you look at situation now like this is only the begininig of the big price rise then is still not to late to join the Bitcoin world. You have all the good chances to make the profit so don't miss the opportunity to make your life better.

I have joint the bitcoin world for more than 1 year and I think that I am a person who likes to learn new thing and live to make money. Well, honestly, we all love money, right? that is why we come here together

what else is new!
i have been hearing this each year when price rises. people get excited and start singing the early adopter songs and to the moon ones and each time there is someone who says some random number and calls it the top.
it was $500 2 years ago then it was the old ATH of $1200 and now the $2700 and will continue on.

and all of them always forget that bitcoin is still tiny. we have not yet even started the early adoption phase
