Bitcoin’s biggest winners: early adopters or future users?

[michellee]

No need to worry with the early and you only need to prepare yourself as those who early clearly gets benefit because they can sell at the high price and have wealthy. But late people can still get the benefit especially if they can accumulate Bitcoin from now on because the future still unpredicted and we don't know when Bitcoin will becomes a serious part of global finance.

While that is not happens yet, you have time to starts and focus so you will not miss to take the benefit. We don't know what happen to Bitcoin in the future but one thing we know that we can benefits from Bitcoin and that is enough while we still accumulating.

Something I keep thinking about lately…

If Bitcoin keeps growing over the years and actually becomes a serious part of global finance, who really ends up winning the most?

Is it the people who got in early and held through all the chaos or future users who just inherit a system that’s already stable, global, and deflation-resistant?

Feels like most conversations focus on price, but not really on what happens to wealth distribution long-term.
Would Bitcoin end up leveling things out, or just quietly create a new class of early believers who sit on massive advantage?

Both will be winners but, because we have winners it also means that there will be losers. So not going to talk about the latter and going on with the winners. The early adopters and those who might be quite late but sticked around, they'll be the winners. In the timeline that you're bringing, that might be the case that it is going to create new people that will consider themselves early but it will only be for the next years of their stay. While the early ones have the better situation and are free to sell if they want since they're already in profit but, I don't think that most of us will leave ourselves without anything to hold until we retire.

What shows that we have actually made an impacts in our time is when we are able to make things easier for the generation that will come after us and even if they might not benefit really well in terms of the extent of profitability at the time compared to what is the case at this time, it will be a plus to us that we gave them a better financial system that they have total control of.

because helps those that are involved in it in two main  ways. first, you stand to gain an increase in your finance by being invested in bitcoin and secondly, you are handed over a better form of finance that is decentralized and that stands as an edge against inflation.

It will create a new class of elite, but this is not the point. The problem with the old system isn't inequality. It's that a minority at the top takes a lot more than it gives back. Under a Bitcoin standard, people may become rich, but in order to stay rich, they need to provide goods and services to the market. Otherwise, at some point they will run out of BTC.

The problem with the current system is that the elite do not have to compete on the market and help people, to stay rich. They can just print money and steal through inflation.

Honestly I will say early adopters will most likely enjoy the biggest financial rewards because they took the risk when bitcoin was unpopular and uncertain but that don't automatically mean that the future user will miss out or left behind. Now if bitcoin becomes a stable global system, future users or generation can benefit from it by having easy access to reliable money, more financial freedom and a better wealth preservation. So why early adopters may see the biggest financial gains, later users may enjoy or gain the most utility. The real question here is that whether bitcoin can expand opportunities for alot of people instead of concentrating on wealth in the hands of few people or persons.

Those investors that involved in BTC investment those day will confess that investors really made plenty profit, because there was no inflation that was affecting economy and other things in the world, and it made many people to use what they can afford to lose in BTC which is what brought plenty profit that is making some of them to share their testimony in the internet those days. We know that price of BTC has pump higher compared some years ago and if you look the economy of today, it hard for people to smile with the profit they have make from BTC these days.

Inflation has make the price of things to double up, and the low price of BTC in the market these days is just like bull market those days, because inflation has collapsed so many things that is affecting government and individuals today.

Yes, those investors who buy Bitcoin at the beginning and hold it patiently until now with confidence and wait for better times in the future will definitely be able to enjoy all the benefits of Bitcoin and will benefit financially by holding Bitcoin for the long term. Those who start buy Bitcoin from today thinking about the future and wait for a long time will be able to enjoy all the benefits of Bitcoin. Nothing can be said accurately about the increase or decrease in the price of Bitcoin because the price fluctuates very quickly, It is true that there is no confirm that Bitcoin will occupy a significant place in the global economy. If we buy Bitcoin consistently with a long-term plan and wait for better times in the future, then there is a possibility of making money as a result.

You haven't exactly defined winning so what do you expect for an answer? People who bought bitcoin for cents each and can now sell them on for 6000%+ profit will obviously be the biggest winners in terms of capital increasing and it's simply not going to scale at anywhere near the same rate. You'd be lucky to get 10x your money back on Bitcoin in the next 10 years with the current price. High risk speculators are looking for volatility because it creates wild increases, long term investors are usually looking for slow but steady returns so they might benefit from the current environment if they bought in now there is a lot more of a safety net.

In this regard, I think the early adopters who have held onto their Bitcoin until now are the winners. This is because they took a wise step even back when Bitcoin hadn’t yet gained much attention or trust. Now, as major companies are racing to accumulate Bitcoin and many people are following suit, they will still be the winners if, in the end, they do not sell their Bitcoin holdings until the day it truly becomes part of the global financial system.

After all, those who believed in Bitcoin first are the ones who deserve to be called the biggest winners. They chose to believe when others did not.

Long term old time holders definitely hold the upper hand, that's if they have remained consistent and discipline so far. Those who hold large amounts of ETF portfolio also have an advantage over those new comers retail holders of Bitcoin currently and that's supposing it becomes globally adopted or more adopted and stable in your country of current residency.

It is however not too late for new comers to the game, because the advantage of Bitcoin over current fiat currency and its systems, is the hedge against inflation it promises and it would sure level the plain field between those who are rich in the society and you who started as a poor person and with Bitcoin have now become richer.
