Sadly most of us fall in late majority and late laggards including me, and to believe my bad luck I was offered Bitcoin in 2011 and 2013 and I decided to walk away, without even seeing them and now look where they are. Ps we already crossed moon, next stop is Mars let's hope we get there sooner than later. But I do want to know how are you sampling the data, there no poll or how did you reach a % could you elaborate on that point? Ps which stage are you?


great news: you are totally wrong. lol... you ARE in the early adopter phase...most ordinary people dont have bitcoin yet.

time to load up the boat!

Definitely not.  There's absolutely no chance that as much as 2.5% of the population is using and/or holding Bitcoin right now.

We're still right at the bottom of that curve, frankly.  Even if you look at a terrible measure of crypto wealth like market cap, cryptocurrencies are still shockingly insignificant.

It's interesting how people who are part of something new tend to assume the best of other people because they try their best to get other people involved.  

People like to try and convince themselves that they're actually later than they are because of:

1. Their confidence in the technology.
2.  Their pessimism, and feeling like the best opportunities are behind them.
When you look one year behind and see the Bitcoin price at $1000, of course people will feel like they lost the opportunity of their lives. That's just natural from the human being, that always wants more.

Just imagine how small Bitcoin's performance is in the world rn.

- We can say that almost nobody in the world uses Bitcoin compared to the fiat.
- Very few places that accept Bitcoin in the world. In Brazil only in the largest metropolitan centers such as São Paulo has some place that accepts Bitcoin, and is still limited.
- We are still facing the huge scalability problem.

All this and the price of Bitcoin is still at $2500. That's why I can't really imagine how anyone still thinks Bitcoin is already expensive.
They will the same thing when the price goes to $5000... and at $10.000 again...

I'm certain we're no longer "innovator" stage, but we're in late "early adopters" stage.

I learned about Bitcoin 2011 but even today in 2017 I am telling people we're still in cryto infancy. One way of thinking about this is if you save up for one whole Bitcoin mathematically in absolute certain terms you could only be 1 out of 21,000,000 people who own a Bitcoin. Well it goes deeper since we know only 16,367,963 Bitcoins have been mined at this very moment. So you could be 1 out of 16,367,963.

But... it goes a little deeper.

Out of 16,367,963 Bitcoin holders, some very lucky people hold 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100, 1,000 or more...

Deeper... some people lost their wallets, hard drives, or died holding Bitcoin...

If 100,000,000 people learned about cryptocurrency and tried to acquire a whole Bitcoin - the price would be insane. 3,200,000,000 people will have access to the internet by the end of this year. There's 7,500,000,000 people in the world and growing!

Sadly most of us fall in late majority and late laggards including me, and to believe my bad luck I was offered Bitcoin in 2011 and 2013 and I decided to walk away, without even seeing them and now look where they are. Ps we already crossed moon, next stop is Mars let's hope we get there sooner than later. But I do want to know how are you sampling the data, there no poll or how did you reach a % could you elaborate on that point? Ps which stage are you?

But I think it is still early to say that it is too late to invest with bitcoin because bitcoin price is still rising a significant height and I think we could really see it this year and I am talking about the $3000 mark value is the target right now and might come a long way in years and years to come so just invest, earn, and hold bitcoin for your future benefits don't look back and just spread to other people about the great deal with bitcoin because it is not really too late.

How are you classifying this current time as innovator to early adopter? I like the sound of being early but I am just wondering how we are confirming these data?
