If you are reading this in the summer of 2014, and you have any BTC, congratulations. You are an early adopter, and you will soon be rich if you choose to hold.

you are not, go ask people around you. What BitCoin is. Most wil have no ideas.
What she wrote, that 50% people know. That is way to much.
EDIT: I reread now. She said, taht half peopel in IT knows of BitCoin, that makes more sense. But not only they will use them in 10 years, half of earth will. So even those that wil start using BitCoins 2 years from now will be early adopters.
The dot.com bubble was $7 trillion with a T. Cryptos under $10 billion means the party hasn't even started.

I am amazed how few people in the US know about bitcoin and even fewer understand it. I work in a very technical field which allows me to travel and I am constantly surveying technical folks of all ages what they think about bitcoin. I would say only about half of the people have even heard about it, of those about 80% of the folks say stay away or "if you can find someone to give you real dollars for bitcoin, do it!"...
I've also noticed that bitcoin does get news coverage but it is almost always buried on the major media outlet's sites. Most major headlines are very negative so I can't blame Joe Public for shying away.
All in all, we are very early in this game and I'm excited to see opinions sway in favor of bitcoin in future months/years.
I personally think there will be an "Aha moment" whether it be a killer app or a market correction where big banks move to bitcoin as a store and the sheep will follow quickly. Just a matter of time but the train is still in the station at this point in time.
