I fail to see the problem here. Bitcoin was visible in plain open sight since day 1. 99% of us was just too stupid to see it and become an early adopter. Stupidity has a price, and now we have to buy coins at a much higher price.
agreed. I first saw bitcoin in late 2009 or early 2010 when looking for exchangers of other digital currencies like pecunix and liberty reserve. I came across bitcoin-otc and was very interested, but I didn't see that bitcoins could be used for much. I didn't dig deep enough, and I had I might have gotten more interested and involved at the time. I didn't start taking a hard look at it until after it broke $1 parity, and didn't get my business started until just after then $30 high. But we are all still early adopters, imo. 2/3rd of all bitcoins are still yet to be mined and circulated, and the entire bitcoin economy market cap is still only a tiny fraction of the global economy.
