Topic: Late Adopter (Read 1149 times)

Define late. Almost everyone i know does not even know what a bitcoin is, let alone altcoins. I think we are still early. If this thing really gets big, which it will probably, we can all get rich sooner or later!

No need to kick ourselves. Let's just figure out how to make money as is right now :-)

Your still not "late" Also I think that its not going to stand at a 1000 for too long, but I could be completely wrong. Be ready for the worst and hope for the best.

Yes.. it seems like we all have our regrets :b

Only if we had foreseen things like these

yep and you are killing yourself for being too lazy to seize the opportunity. i knew about bitcoin since 2011 and didn't get in until this year.. i missed a few other opportunities too, mainly with LTC.. i told myself "might as well put $100 into this.. it's only 6 cents per coin." i got too lazy and didnt' want to sign up at btc-e and totally lost out. a $100 investment would have turned into 30k by this time.

I would have gotten into BTC earlier but felt the process of getting setup wasn't going to be worth it. Now I see how high it went and I've been booting myself for weeks. Now I'll be stuck playing with other alt currencies

I'm a newbie, came across a few articles relating to BTC over the last couple of years, but didn't really think about looking too deeply at it, now that it's "out" and some are a bit more aware of it in the public domain, I thought I would have a proper look.

As others have said, it's still a bit high at the moment, and will probably drop back a bit, I will probably buy some at that point.

It's interesting that we might still be at the start, I think a lot of people like myself have thought "hang on I've missed the boat", but maybe not.

I have read a few article and so I am currently looking at Altcoins. I have started mining a very small amount of LTC using GUIminer, but anything is good for me really, as it's not the be-all-and-end-all not getting loads at the moment.

It's obvious there are potential risks, as with anything, but trying to run before you can walk it probably the downfall of most.

Well, today it's crashing, it might be the time to buy in a few hours, we're at 900 USD/BTC and going lower on Mt. Gox
I belive we're still early adopters

Well, it's difficult to predict the future of BTC but currently there's a huge media hype about it. I wouldn't buy at the current rates, a raise of several 1000 % within 1-2 years isn't "healthy" at all.

I'm a late adopter too.

I found out about btc a few months ago.

I saw prices drop to $60 a piece when the silk road was shut down and I thought btc was mostly over.

I'm still killing myself for not buying some then...

Hello guys. I'm a late adopter too
Like all of you, I'm pretty sure that altcoins popularity will increase a lot !

There is a great deal of potential for more adoption. I would say that things are still in an early stage. Everything that Paypal is currently used for could be possible by bitcoin in a couple of years.

I suspect we are still in "Innovators" on that chart.

Possibly "Early adopters".

There is no way we are at the "Early Majority" stage yet.

You are in early majority

You're not a late adopter until bitcoin goes full blown mainstream, completely loses steam and goes through the stages of being replaced by Bitcoin 2.0

Welcome to he club

I am a pretty late adopter myself sadly

One word, "Altcoins"!

Goldcoin (GLD) is a coin sure to compete at the highest of levels. I have put a video in my signature that you might like.

Best of luck and much love!

We still on the ground zero if u think we will get the main stream people!

Gotta say I felt much like the OP when I read about Bitcoin's a couple of weeks ago, then noticed something else come across my path which made me actually look into them when BTC was @ ~$750.00.  My interest was piqued and I've been reading diligently ever since in what feels like "catch-up" mode.  One posting did mention a similar run-up back in 2011, obviously not as high, but with comparable spikes, eventually dropping back to about 200% of the starting "take-off" value.  The point of the post was that these will happen over and over so regardless of entry point it's still, and hopefully will be for quite a while, a profitable venture (of course unless you're CPU mining sha-256 coins that is...).  Personally, I'm still hyped about it...already purchased a few GPU miners which should arrive any day and am gaining an interesting experience if nothing else in the short run.  Figured if I can get over 1 M/hs on scrypt I'll just let it run and churn out some coins to play with on the exchanges.

From you "forum gladiators" that still poke around the noob forums, is coin-hopping a fairly common practice, or do most just grab one and stick with it?  I'm more interested in the dynamics of the pool hash rates jumping around since I'd hate to suddenly be stuck in a dead pool without warning.  Just wondering

its a scary thought to think you are late to the show, but there will ALWAYS be people who start things ealrier and get in before you.  But those people need YOU and US to keep buying and talking about the coin so that it grows in publicity!!
