If you hold 1 BTC you are a pioneer

[sachung]

I think this is true, I think everyone having more than 1 BTC is for pioneers and shows respect for people... I think they will be rewarded by the bitcoin price when bitcoin goes mainstream IMO.

[honeyhtet]

Sure I think so too, I think just a few people on bitcoin community has an amount of BTC like that though since allot of people have much more than just one bitcoin... I think these pioneers will win big when bitcoins go mainstream.

[richmcrich]

I have around a couple of bitcoins, I want to reach around 10 or more to be in the bulk of elite bitcoin users.

[iTradeChips]

other than the handful of people who started bitcoin, the lucky few are those who learned about it early and were able to mine lots of coins using laptops and desktops only. we need a time machine to take us to 2008.

[n0ne]

Maybe someday holders can receive some kind of rewards for hold them without affecting the supply...........

As quoted above might take place just to make the users much more into the bitcoin. Certainly such initiations will give good outcome.

maybe in 2024 we all will be early adepts Bitcoin and the elite will be the one who will have 1 bitcoin

If you hold 10 or more you are part of an elite.

This is my conclusion after the years I have been involved here. Absolutely no one in real life knows what the hell Bitcoin is, and even your most geeky friends may probably never heard about Bitcoin. Now if you take into account the people that has heard about it... what percentage own 1 BTC? Exactly.. you know almost no one.
And what percentage own 10 BTC? I personally know no one (people from this forum don't count obviously).

This simple observation shows you only need 1 BTC to be a pioneer on Bitcoin in 2016.

i think you should correct your post tittle,its written 1 BTC,not 10 BTC. yes you are maybe right,if people hold 10 bitcoin,he's peoneer,but its depending how they used that bitcoin,if they only hold and not use or trade it,they just against bitcoin.

He says that 10btc is elite and 1btc is pioneer.
So no need to change anything in the title.

[tampazeus]

I think 1 btc is not too big amount to hold majority of people would be holding it, I think if you hold anything around 20 btc then you are a pioneer.

[Washika]

I have hold the bitcoin for a few years. I use some when I need to buy something. It is a good investment so far.

[Farma]

I also bought one bitcoin, but I can not help it, I use it to play trade and investment. because I feel it could make me a profit. I still includes a pioneer ??

[zimmah]

Yes exactly, only 21 million people can have 1 Bitcoin.
And if some people have more then 1, even less people will be elite

And this is also my goal just to have 1 bitcoin so my grandchildren will be rich as fuck

Over 2.5 million bitcoin are permanently lost.

Several million bitcoin are held by early adopters.

Right now there are less than 500,000 wallets that hold >1 bitcoin and a little over 100,000 wallets that hold >10 bitcoin.

I don't think there will ever be more than 2 million people even holding 1 bitcoin.

I really can't believe the naysayers that don't understand bitcoin will be really expensive because mathematically there i no other way.

If bitcoin gets popular and everyone wants a full bitcoin that's just impossible because there are just so few bitcoin, but if a bitcoin only costs $1000 or even $10,000 it will be way too cheap because the rich or even moderately rich people will buy all the bitcoin. And even the relatively 'poor' people will be able to afford way too much bitcoin. There won't be enough bitcoin left to divide.

The only option is for bitcoin to be really expensive ($100,000+)

[zimmah]

Sure, but Gold is not a common payment option Or have you ever been gone to a store and bought food with gold? I don't think so. This is why I think he meant that this is a big problem for Bitcoin. Gold is a commodity to secure value. So is Bitcoin, too.

I.think that the biggest problem with Bitcoin is that its' amount is limited. That would probably be also the biggest obstacle for more massive use.

No.. that is the biggest feature.... It is the near perfect gold...

gold is not practical, it's too expensive for its weight (you could get groceries for a week with 2 grams of gold, which would get lost in your pockets). (i know, i know there are 1 gram gold bars, but even that is not very practical for everyday use).

The other problem is the fact that you can't get change easily. Right now 1 gram of gold is about $42, so what if you need to shop for $75? 2 grams is just a bit too much but 1g is not enough by half.

It's just not convenient. But bitcoin is just as easy as using a credit card.

Well i only have 2.** bitcoins, is it called pioneer too ? and my hope is can hold 10++ bitcoins so can make me into elite people lol.

not sure if 10 bitcoin will ever be enough to buy a jet (i hope so, but i doubt it).

but it will be more than enough to pay for everything you need in life if bitcoin gets mainstream.

A house, a decent car, and all luxury you need for pretty much the rest of your life. As long as you don't waste too much money.

I agree, 10 bitcoins is actually a lot.  And I had one tenth of that recently and like an idiot got scammed out of a good third of it.  I tell ya, I should have known better.  Alas, I'll get it back.

Don't know about being a pioneer though.  The early miners are the real pioneers, and that guy who bought the pizza for 10K btc.

What guy? 10k for a pizza? lmao. NEver heard this story.
Do you have a link?

10 BTC is NOT a lot. It is a senseful amount, stop day dreaming.

that was literally the first time ever recorded that someone bought something for bitcoin IIRC. Bitcoin were not really worth anything back then, and if a value was to be assigned to them it was something like $0.0025 per bitcoin.

[silentkiller]

Im only a semi pioneer, cause i only have 0.5 btc. I have to wait 3 months more to make it 1btc. By then im proud that i earned 1 btc in my 1 year and half in bitcoin world.

[katrimans]

Early miners and those that joined maybe 2-3 years ago or so can be called pioneers., but not those who hold one BTC

[romero121]

Well said. At present from my opinion person who holds a minimum of 100bitcoin can be considered a pioneer. If the bitcoin touches the unrealistic $100000, then we can say a person with 1btc a pioneer.

well with current based numbers, i mean current ammount of total global world population with used bitcoin, that maths maybe are right, but dont forget that things could change soon, what is a "small" amount of bitcoins (1 bitcoin) now, could be a high ammount of money if more % of the total population start to use it.... so in the end everything is relative.

[darkmagician]

the only people who will called as pioneers are the people who entered bitcoin in the year 2010..
they dont know that price of bitcoin will go too far as they expected.

[MingLee]

Holding 1BTC kind of makes you a pioneer, but all it means is that there will only be a maximum of 21m more people who will have more Bitcoin than you. It doesn't really mean anything else from there.

Exactly. I still think that and will think so forever, because of the total supply and current circumstance, anyone holding 1 BTC is way ahead of the game, and 10 BTC means you have been around for a while. This will be rewarded with time, and the more time passes the bigger the reward. Most people will never own 1 BTC, and 10 BTC is already impossible for most people, since most people can't afford to invest 4.5k on Bitcoin.
