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

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.

not only are we all early adopters we are all fighting for freedom.
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.

The early bird gets the worm (AKA: some opportunities are only available to the first competitors) so vision is priceless.

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.

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. |
Forever strong.

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. |

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 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

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.

Or 250,000 microbitcoins (a.k.a. "bits") - which is probably what most people will be using if Bitcoin becomes big. |

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  |
