I just wonder: are Early Adopters rich?
We know AA, author of "Mastering Bitcoin" was once attacked because he did not made any fortune having BTC from early years, then people donated some BTC and he collected around 100BTC.
Hal F's wife sued "I am Satoshi guy" and they were talking about $ 3-digit mln, so they are not kind of people who wait every month for their wage.
What about others? Bitcoin Core developers? Forum admins or well-known old users? Are they crazy rich living in their own castles or did they lost their coins, sold for $10 because of mortgage loan or student's debt and today they must work 7-15 every day?
It really depends how much early adopters have/had, how much are they still holding on to, if they sold, when did the do it and what exatly means being rich. And I am not talking abiut esoteric concepts here, but maybe 1mil dollars upon sale might be rich on paper, but without knowing how much went to taxes, debt and so on, it's hard to tell. Sure, 100min is a completly diferent story, but it's hard to say how much of them actually have/had that.
