and its not even about risk. Satoshi had a great idea that he released into the wild; early adopters saw the potential and jumped on it. they had a "vision".
i'm not an early adopter per se. i read about btc about a year and a half ago and it just didn't click at the time. only this year did i jump onboard and i don't begrudge early adopters at all b/c they were the ones who advanced the concept to its current point.

All of us here are early adopters. If we weren't, there wouldn't be any discussion about how to get merchants on board, why Bitcoin is stuck at $14, etc. We'd all be permanently retired and living on the beach in Fiji on the proceeds from 15 or 20 BTC while the latecomers fight over why the µBTC is stuck at $14. Yes, I'm taking a long view.
