Title: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: celestio on July 11, 2014, 11:10:37 PM To some, Bitcoin resembles the early days of the internet
To others, Bitcoin resembles the greatest invention since the Wheel Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, laid the seed that sprouted and became a powerful force for freedom and democracy. Only in 2012, did it really start to gain traction It had it's ups and downs, but it persevered And it's here to stay I'd like to congratulate everyone for embarking on this journey for true freedom! We are all Early Adopters Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: cozk on July 11, 2014, 11:14:56 PM Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: cuddaloreappu on July 12, 2014, 01:14:24 AM "we are all early adopters" this is a quote from Gavin Anderson, core developer from a bitcoin conference recently
Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: haploid23 on July 12, 2014, 01:28:08 AM I see this thread pop up ever so often. Being an "early adopter" is all relative. Gold has been around for over 5,000+ years, but yet we can still be considered early adopters of gold if it's going to last tens of thousands more year. But if a meteor hits earth tomorrow and wipes us all out, then we're not early adopters anymore, are we. We can never see an end to these kinds of things, so the term is always debatable.

every unit of fiat currency you convert to bitcoin, every business that starts accepting bitcoin is another nail in the coffin of the fraudulent global banking system we have today. no more will our hard earned purchasing power be confiscated to fund endless wars and bailouts for bankers.

I have no ilusion about I making any difference on all the freedom stuff, its like the Word Cup, you can wish that a team win, but anything you do will make no difference on the score.

That's not entirely true. If you make a start-up related to bitcoin, chances are good that you will end up affecting its fate. Thinking you can do nothing only makes it true.Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: Robert Paulson on July 12, 2014, 01:58:10 AM I'm here more to my own benefit than anything else. I have no ilusion about I making any difference on all the freedom stuff, its like the Word Cup, you can wish that a team win, but anything you do will make no difference on the score. as long as you converted fiat to bitcoin no matter for what reasons, you contributed you're small share to freedom.

You could score the winning goal. That would make a difference. Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: STforLife on July 12, 2014, 02:47:57 PM but you can be hacked anytime, so I wouldnt congratulate yet. I owned 3 BTC now I own zero :-\
Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: cozk on July 12, 2014, 03:51:09 PM but you can be hacked anytime, so I wouldnt congratulate yet. I owned 3 BTC now I own zero :-\ Yes mainly because of your own fault. Gratz. Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: 300 on July 13, 2014, 12:43:20 AM After months of hard work, I'm still only sitting on a quarter of a bitcoin. I don't feel like an early adopter. :(
Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: fryarminer on July 13, 2014, 02:23:20 AM But I wanted to be late to the party!!!! :'(
Being early cramps my style. Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: Yogafan00000 on July 13, 2014, 02:31:18 AM After months of hard work, I'm still only sitting on a quarter of a bitcoin. I don't feel like an early adopter. :( Don't think of it as a quarter Bitcoin. Think of it as 25 million satoshis. Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: zhinkk on July 13, 2014, 02:57:10 AM It really just depends how long this "project" lasts. If it lasts for 50+ years. We're early as fuck. If it dies out in a few years. Ehhh
Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: Bit_Happy on July 13, 2014, 03:03:25 AM We are all Early Adopters?
Some of us are earlier than others. The % returns for people who bought/mined big in 2010 are not possible today. However, there is plenty to be gained for anyone starting now, especially if you build a useful Bitcoin related business. Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: Kiloday on July 13, 2014, 03:16:08 AM After months of hard work, I'm still only sitting on a quarter of a bitcoin. I don't feel like an early adopter. :( Don't think of it as a quarter Bitcoin. Think of it as 25 million satoshis. Yup. Or 250,000 microbitcoins (a.k.a. "bits") - which is probably what most people will be using if Bitcoin becomes big. Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: KimNam on July 13, 2014, 05:12:23 AM I don't think we are early adopters, maybe it's fit for someone who knows and mine bitcoin in 2009-2011 period
maybe we are 2nd phase adopters is more suitable ;D Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: pirsquared on July 13, 2014, 05:22:19 AM but you can be hacked anytime, so I wouldnt congratulate yet. I owned 3 BTC now I own zero :-\ Ugh! Sorry to hear that. The OP's point still rings true. Five years from now 0.5BTC is likely to change a life or two. Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: pirsquared on July 13, 2014, 05:23:41 AM After months of hard work, I'm still only sitting on a quarter of a bitcoin. I don't feel like an early adopter. :( It doesn't change the fact that you are. HODL it CODL. Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: doubleredrolex on July 13, 2014, 10:44:57 AM When BTC is sitting at $5000usd, then those of us who got in at $600 will still be considered early adopters :)
Title: Re: We are all Early Adopters. Post by: Catmoonglow on July 13, 2014, 11:12:29 AM I think this is an echo chamber and that this is a dangerous way of thinking. We don't know what will happen, it could turn out to be useless.
