if you are just investing in Bitcoin now, you're an early adopter or innovator

[raymond541]

I am with bitcoin since 2009 I have a wallet with many bitcoin that time price was very low.I was trying to sold my bitcoin but no one was interested to buy my bitcoin.I was careless and for get my wallet.2012 when price was $1200 I was trying to recover my wallet but I could not find anything to recover my wallet.I was missed to take profit again and again.I think will also I missed that chance.

In my view i am with OP that we are now really in innovators period because still their is only 10% of the population know about bitcoin and think when 50% of them start to use then the price will be unimaginable so it is clear that we are in innovators period.

[Scorpion]

In other terms if Bitcoin were to reach just 10% of the market capitalization of what people are doing on the foreign exchange - would be talking trillions worth in USD. Also consider that the foreign exchange itself grows and population rise is not slowing down either. Once we start talking about more and more people on the internet with technological growth - woooo - as some people might say this is "just the tip."

[ecnalubma]

Its a good sign that its not too late to invest in bitcoin now. The price is just warming up and investors can expect a lot more some says too early to give up. Bitcoin will not only take us to moon but all over the universe.

Im on Early Majority since I just took bitcoin seriously. I know bitcoin since when it has just 500 usd but again I didnt take it seriously. I just got interested when I saw that it surpass the value of 1000usd this january and I started my action on that point. researched all the details and at that point I also got interested on investing on altcoins hence I got plenty of xem and some ripple.

If I invest in bitcoin right now, I am an innovator because I already have an experience in bitcoin so i'm not new to bitcoin or I'm not a beginner so maybe you can't call me an early adopter and maybe you could call me now an innovator because I invest money on bitcoin which can affect bitcoin.

[isen]

One of the few times that I agree with OP, we are still at the very early stages of Bitcoin, and we can call ourselves innovators or early adopters at least.
If you haven't done it already, ask your friends and relatives if they are aware of Bitcoin.I bet that only a few of them have heard about it, and the number of the people who use it is even smaller (about 2-5% in my case).

[freedomno1]

its still very early.  You think $2500 is nice? You ain't seen nothing.

to the moon!

I think we are near the end of the early adopter stage and nearing the early majority, but this is on a general basis
Some places are well into Bitcoin adoption some other countries are way behind.
In cryptocurrencies in general though I lean towards innovator in the adoption scale people who use it and early adopter in the awareness and reach, although news about Wannacry and other things make it so a lot of people are aware they don't remember it for the most part hence my rationale.

[AiWanChu]

Not sure what is considered early but I got bitcoin in 2014.. Probably a mid-adopter

[digaran]

All users of Bitcoin are users of blockchain technology, because Bitcoin is blockchain technology.  Therefore it's impossible for the number of users of blockchain technology to be fewer than the number of Bitcoin users.

Nothing to brag about but actually I'm generating 500 Bitcoin addresses and saving them with their private keys and currently looking to find some body who is willing to code me a software where I could do this automatically and also put them all on a watch list to notify me when ever any of them received a transaction lol imagine if I could do 100K addresses in a day and one day getting lucky to hit the jackpot.
We should start moving into multisig addresses which are starting with a 3 because they are much safer.
I agree with you Fyookball, +1 for this and keep up the good spirit.  O.o\=     <your avatar.

[hasiramasenju]

unfortunately i'm not investing only and maybe most people late including me because i do not expect the price so high currently and that's why i was so doubt when people says bitcoin will above $2000 soon but since last month i consider my main asset should be bitcoin and not other else

[tosmartak]

How are you classifying this current time as innovator to early adopter? I like the sound of being early but I am just wondering how we are confirming these data?

Exactly what I thought. How are we sure the data group we even belong to? How is the data confirmed, how are we so sure we are not either still in the innovative stage or the early majority?  Whichever way, I hope I reap the great huge benefits of bitcoin in near future.

[CryptoBry]

I also believe that we are still in the Early Adapter stage as Bitcoin is not yet that known globally. Only a minimal percentage of the whole world is owning any Bitcoin and since when we talk of mainstream we talk about the millions and even billions of people then we are not yet there and it could still take so many years before Bitcoin can be as popular as US dollars at least. Bitcoin remains to be one of the best earning and growth potential there is for now online.

[cafucafucafu]

I agree with OP.

My friends said that bitcoin was dead about a year ago because he said that if it was something that was going to succeed in the long term - it should already be adopted by a lot of people. I think that this sort of skepticism is held common by a lot of people, making them afraid to invest in bitcoin or simply not bothered to check bitcoin out.

If you believe in bitcoin, and therefore hold at least some BTC, then you are already more open-minded than 99.9% of earthlings.

[skorupi17]

I do not know where does the percentage came from and I do not find any basis for the numbers. Regardless, I believe that new investors now are included in the early adopters rather than innovators. How come that they are going to be innovators when they do not introduce something new? They merely joined a group of people in adapting a new currency which is bitcoin.

What you are saying is true and it is always that who ever enters from when he is a new investors and who are in this field from long are innovators as they are being from starting or long time .

[LeGaulois]

For me  people considered as the early adopter are the one who started to use Bitcoin around 2013 and before. While I agree Bitcoin is still somehow "young" people who are just starting to use it are the opportunists. And by using "opportunists" I don't mean to say it means Bitcoin already reached its highest potetial, still plenty to come just in the next 5 years. Considering the current issues will be solved

[cramcram21]

How can you say that if they are just investing in bitcoin now they are consider as an early adopter or innovator???
Isn't the ones who have been in bitcoin since 2009-2011 the true early adopter of it.

[Prodigan786]

Unfortunately I am in late majority or luggurds it's sad let's see the future world is rotating may be we would be first category again there is no proven data discussing about this here onwards wait and watch

Some believes that we are on the late innovator stage or just starting the early adopters stage. If you will observe about the population of bitcoin users as of now, we are too few to be included in a "majority" with respect to the total population on Earth. In this matter, time is not of an essence, we are looking at the percentage of users. Though we cannot neclect the fact that bitcoin is still young, thus classified as early.

I believe that is just how you feel. Same as me, I feel a little disappointment because I did not know about bitcoin until this very year. It would make us feel like we are too late to start. However, if we will look upon the current number of users (bitcoin), we will feel fortunate because the bitcoin community is not yet that big and we still have our chance of having good fortune with the aid of Bitcoin.
