Are we still "Early Adopters"?

[Coin_trader]

Yes we are! Bitcoin is still a child but the adoption given to this mainstream of Blockchain is great and it is expected to grow tremendously this coming years. We could not predict what would be the growth rate but it is sure to be that unprecedented. The adoption will cover the whole world and the system might be the future payment system of the world due to its easy access and decentralization.

After the rapid descent of bitcoin in the bear channel, the bulls tried to recoup by starting to rise in the channel from 3500. Not reaching the main line of the downtrend at 3900 fought back on the Junior bear line at 3800.

Those who entered it iznachalno, that is, for those who invented it and promoted from the very beginning, for those who have their millions and this is how he wrote himself Satoshi which according to legend, their was a million pieces)

[Ladysmith]

Everyone currently on this forum and even remotely knowledgeable of blockchain and BTC is still very small.

This will be the case until it becomes safe and easy to use. Not everyone is a geek who is capable of risking losing money in an exchange or to hackers to support decentralization or make money.

It has to be able to be easily used and have clear benefits for its use instead of seen exclusively for its value among opportunists.

We are still called "early" as long as the government and banks hasn't accept Bitcoin yet. Imagine the price of Bitcoin once it got accepted by the whole world and everyone knows it? It would rise like a sky rocket. So I think we are still called "Early Adopters".

[kamBlanV]

Sure. A good number of people already know about bitcoin, but the total percentage of people using/owning bitcoin worldwide is still very small(I don't have the numbers to back this up, but I'm quite sure about this). We are early adopters, assuming that bitcoin will be successful in the end. Always take note of that- even though I'm extremely bullish on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, the chance of these succeeding is not 100%. That's why it's always advised to speculate or 'invest' wisely.

I think, your assumptions is wrong, in fact, today the percentage of bitcoin adopters is increasing better, in my country 70% adopt bitcoin, but they are worried about the government banning bitcoin.

So, our problem today is the government, but we will always be "early adopters".

Yes we are! Currently the price of Bitcoin is so cheap than a million dollar per Bitcoin. Just imagine if it does happen and everybody would be too late to buy from this price.

Gotta love a good shit post.

How on Earth are you even claiming 70% of your country has adopted Bitcoin?

That's one of the most ridiculous statements I've seen in a long time.

I would say so, still a long way to go until it becomes mainstream where most people will at least be aware if not using it.

I think if we had another end of year like last year it would gain huge attention.

[rudox]

Yes, you visualize well it is going to be like that in about 10 years from now we will be called privileged people for being in cryptocurrency 10 years ago.You can not compare with some one who has been in bitcoin since inception in 2009  with us that just started 2 to 3 years ago. There is a great need that we make best use of our privilege today so that we can be better off tomorrow. You can be early adopters without any thing to show for it and that is why everyone should be up and doing to answer that name. EARLY ADOPTER OF CRYPTO

[EmmaBen]

Good thread, good thoughts! I have reasoned similarly also. But I don't think 10 years from now will still be classified as an "early adopters" stage. Even now!

[QuestionAuthority]

No, you’re not. The early adopters were mining 100 or more coins a day at Deepbit, Ozcoin, BTC Guild and Slush’s pool. Those people cashed out long ago to buy Lambos, houses, and luxury items all over the world.

You’re not actually even in the second wave after the early adopters. Those people could no longer mine fast enough to become famously wealthy so they created the grand scam phase. The grand scammers were members of the Bitcoin Foundation (like Mark Karpeles, Charlie Shrem etc.), Pirates Ponzi pass through operators, Trendon Shavers himself, Michael Moriarty, Erik Voorhees, the 17yo Zhou Tong and hundreds of others. Many of these people became very wealthy and escaped. A few went to prison.

You are actually in the VC wave now. Investors with more money than brains (like the Winklevoss twins) were convinced to invest tons of cash by criminals (like convicted felon Charlie Shrem). These VC investors were left holding bags of bitcoin and are now desperately attempting to figure out what to do with it. I wouldn’t be surprised to find one of them online selling Bitcoin receding hairline tonic or Bitcoin erection pills. Most of them are desperate to keep the exchange rate from falling long enough for them to recover at least some of what they invested, especially since many of the altcoins are making headway into former bitcoin strongholds.

You’re not early adopters coming to bitcoin at this point. In fact, you’re way late to the party, most of the good booze is gone and you’re going to spend the rest of the night drinking cheap wine from a box. LOL

[Lorin]

In my opinion i think we are still early adopters because of the fact that  still lot of people are not engage with bitcoin  or crypto. As long as  people cannot accept it along  government also we may say  we are still early adopters.

[vrap.pm]

Regarding bitcoin i do not think that we are still early adopters. However and regarding new crypto projects i think we can to be early adopters because the use of blockchain is in its incial stages of creating things and value.
If you bet in the right horse (cryptocurrency/token) you might be a very wealthy man in the near future, the real problem is to know what are the good ccryptocurrencies, studying and a lot and a lot of luck make part of the process.

You know your history. I fully agree. Everyone else now who is trying to cash in are bag holders compared to those who already cashed out.
I am curious where people think we are on something like this chart. https://i2.wp.com/cryptohustle.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Hype-Cycle-General.png
When people are talking about Bitcoin being outdated and replaced by other cryptos it is hard to say you are an early adopter.

I think we can still be tagged early adopters. We are just 10years into something that may last over another 100 years or even beyond. To me, cryptocurrency has not even hit the road yet

[javadsalehi]

No, we are not early adopters. We can call ourselves early majority not early adopters. Early majorities are the people use a system after it became successful and early adopters made big profits.

I agree with this view
We are still in the early stages of bitcoin life
If we believe that comprehensive dependence
 is coming, we must be at an early stage.

[andylioe78]

We are early users, Many people already know about bitcoin that bitcoin will succeed, maybe not 100%. It is suggested to speculate or 'invest' wisely.

[khaled0111]

That depends on what will happen in the future.
If cryptocurrencies survive for the next 20 years and succeed to replace Fiat or at least has more value than it does now, then the answer is yes, we are early adopters, otherwise, we can say that we missed the train.
