The latter. The brightest or weirdest people got in early. The richest get in after them and buy from them. The donkeys will be last and the richest will feed it back to them in a way that makes them even richer.
I agree with this. Those people who recognized Bitcoin earlier is the one who earn better for those who came later and I think that's one of the good reason of being early, opportunities. On the other hand. I certainly agree with the thing that it redistribute most of the wealth to those richer since they were the one who control this community but there were enough opportunities given to the common people like us to gather and to offer a service that suitable to what they are needing.
