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?
Mostly have become rich but some remain poor because seems like they always miss the train, and they never have strong faith in bitcoin in the early days. While others take advantage on the low priced bitcoin and hold as they can, others just bought bitcoin and sell afterwards for profits. Maybe that explains why some early adopters end up being rich, while others regret and see their selves still poor until now.
