We have heard some folks refer to groups in terms of the year that they entered BTC, such as "class of 2017," even though that surely can be a bit of an incomplete descriptive... but still could give some ideas.

I probably would consider myself more in terms of the class of 2014 rather than the class of 2013, even though I did get started in 2013.. so I suppose officially I should be trying to use my start date.

There are a lot of folks also who characterize themselves at a later date, since so many times and for so many folks the earlier entrance date is met with so many screw ups, so many folks fell more comfortable describing their second entrance (or the time that they were enlightened about bitcoin) as their official entrance date... which might also be fair for folks to try to figure where they feel that they best fit based on their actual entrance into BTC circumstances.


Hahahahaha

Reminds me of the actual bitcoin reality of tick tock, next block.


Touche.. .   

hahahaha   

Also one of the benefits of having enough or more than enough BTC is not to get too worried about how many BTC that we might have had, since some of us likely have assessed that we have enough and/or more than enough.. so then the more central matter becomes engaging in practices to safeguard what we already gots.


I do like the idea of cycles.... but it seems that bitcoin does not have a long enough history to really figure out.. even though yeah technically 3 epoch does fit too, even though I am thinking that some additional granularity might be preferable in regards to categorizing entry timelines of folks... to the extent that it might be a useful category, at all.


Fair enough.  You seem to support one of my argued points in regards to variance of the group, too... and think about it.. some 2012-ers are no longer into bitcoin, and perhaps some of them came back later.. so they might not even consider themself to be a 2012-er.

Actually, maybe I should take back some of what I said?  since there are a lot of 2012-ers who might not even be describing various things that they did, the good, the bad and/or the ugly, so frequently not as many details are known.. which can be good or bad to have some of those details out there... and even appreciating value that might come from others being able to get some insight from forum members who are willing to share some of their historical and personal experiential details.  I try to be a bit more vague than you Phil, but I still have quite a bit of stuff out there that might add up towards being informative in terms of some aspects of my bitcoin-related personal experiences.. .. some of it is contradictory, which is fine with me.


I doubt that the issue is that straight forward since there are plenty of decently good arguments that current birthrates are too low rather than too high.
