By Dinosaurs i mean those early adopters and innovators and now big time!

I think Hal finney is a T-rex..

who are the others?

Satoshi Nakamoto. More a Godzilla than a Dinousar.

Eric voorhees
Jeff Garzik
Satoshi San

godzilla never lived and breathed. pure fantasy story

but i know what your hinting. a myth much like satoshi today, no one actually seen him in real life, living and breathing

but i think under that presumption. then satoshi would be the lock ness monster. a myth, but has a bases that he could have been real in the past. (a dinosaur that actually lived and breathed)

There are probably seversl hundreds of early miners that mined briefly but stopped after a few hundred to a few thousand bitcoins. I mean, even Hal Finney didn't mine for very long.

They are probably the ones that sold out when BTC was 1k each. Those were the true gentlemen.

i'm a goddamn sexual tranasasrours.  a sexual predator.

You're looking too deep into it, aren't you? Anyway, definitely Satoshi and I would definitely argue that we are part of these dinosaurs.

Gavin Andreesen should obviously be mentioned here.   Roger Ver as well..

Dinosaur, reporting in.

The good ol' days when I witness btc crashed down to $1, but too stupid at the time to buy any at that price. I don't hold that much btw, compared real dinosaurs in 2010.

Dinosaurs are extinct and many of the 'old-time' Bitcoin users are still around, so I don't understand the comparison. 

Probably because it's pants-on-head retarded...

He is probably referred to their ability as predators and chances of survival.

That is, of course, disregarding the fact that they are not around anymore.

Yeah, giants might have been a more appropriate metaphor.

There was that KnightMB fellow who apparently had 100,000 BTC at one point. Not sure what happened to him though.

I'm not a Bitcoin dinosaur, maybe more like a Bitcoin wooly mammoth. (November 2011)

Dinosaur refers both to their stature and being pre historic animal, in crypto world even 5 years is a triassic jurassic period

"More a Godzilla than a Dinousar" haha the best description of Satoshi Nakamoto I've ever heard! ;D

Roger Ver is Jesus, so not dinaosaur, a different category. definitely B.C. though  ;D

I am hoping that in 10 years, most people in the world will call anybody that commented on this thread a dinosaur!

Really !! He is a real dinosaur . But I think all together its a massive power that is working on these bit coin forums and finally creating a revolution in this world. Its all our discussion has create a great difference.

Well! I Think Maintainer is higher than a Developer .Isn't ??? it is we are boosting all of us each other and keeping these forums busy.

So you mean we are now in a cryptassic age

Would a more apt comparison for dinosaurs be dead businesses? Mt. Gox would seem to be on the extinction list.

Satoshi was the first dinosaur, but we are in the prehistoric age too.
The very first users were "innovators", we are "early adopters".

I would be okay with early adopters, but the news everyday like dish accepting btc and yahoo putting price index makes me that it has goen mainstream and i am a laggard

started dabbling Q4 2010 with GPUs made ~50coins and stopped  :(

Saw BTC rise from $1 to $2 then skyrocket to $12

Got back in with Gen 2 ASICs

What era does this make me?

Brontosaurus Tux checking in to ask, WTF?

and waiting for the mass extinction of fiat

For NOW, I believe the CEO of GHash with that 51 percent rate.

Don't know about bitcoin dinosaurs but i'm  sure that dollar will be a dinosaur soon

Wouldn't you be more like a Brunosaurus Rex?  :D
...or maybe a Pterodactyl Phinnaeus?

The word "dinosaur" implies extinction, so I would say the true dinosaurs of Bitcoin are the central banks, and entities such as the FED.
