Get over it.

People were complaining about "early adopters" in 2011: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25138.0. Now, those people that were complaining are themselves considered early adopters.

As long as the value increases, people will be complaining about early adopters. At some point everyone reading this post will be considered an early adopter.

IMO, by standard definitions, anyone who is "in" before Bitcoin has nibbled itself a solid 2% of any given market is an early adopter.

That's the thing, I don't think a lot of Bitcoin users really realise just how much of an early adopter they are, barely anyone knows about about Bitcoin nevermind has a real understanding of economics, that said, it is fairly amusing seeing people accuse me of having a hoard of Bitcoin stashed away and being incredibly rich when I hardly have anything right now. That said, that could all easily change this year because things are going to be epic.

If you are reading this right now and you do not buy bitcoins at this price, you cannot ever complain about early adopters again.

At this price, anyone can be an early adopter right now.

Do you honestly believe this? i thought the same when i saw the price drop and pretty much went all in even though I didnt have much money to invest in the start

I think he means 2% of the 21 million coins that will ever be in existence that means 420k coins.....thats a lot and you would need to invest millions for that to ever happen with todays price.

Early adopter means you purchased early on.

Six years is either early or it isn't.  Early is time based not value based.  Many people would be "earlier adopters" than you who paid $1,000 for it.

barely anyone knows about about Bitcoin nevermind has a real understanding of economics

i live in a town of 40,000 in the mid-west.  everyone I know has heard of bitcoin.  and i haven't told them.  i kept hearing "no one has heard of bitcoin" online and so I started asking.  55 year old women.  30's somethings.  19 year olds.  bankers.  They all have heard of it / know.

No magic bullet is going to magically make the avg joe understand economics more ... few have understood it for the last hundred years.  few will for the next hundred.  bitcoin won't change that.

This implies that people that own Bitcoin have a real understanding of economics, with all that "double by December 2015" talk last summer...

Looks like people are going to figure out the bottom is in before I get my money to the exchange on the 27th (5 business day hold at the bank+ 2 business days to get stuff over to the exchange).

all part of Satoshi's plan.... several years while you can get in cheap before
the block subsidies start getting really small and new Bitcoins become scarce.

good thread , OP.  Get in now or surrender the right to complain later.

Next year is the year that bitcoin will reach new highs and more people will be whining because they didn't invest TODAY even today the price is great and you should be taking full advantage.

Gotta love that no regrets attitude. He must have been buying since 2011.

Obviously people won't ever make the same kind of returns from the early days but you will likely make a decent profit from investing at these levels. Especially with the reward halving coming up.
