Over time the early adopters will sell their coins to newcomers for a profit. The higher the price of bitcoin goes the more of an incentive the early adopters will have to do this.
Yeah and the price will respond accordingly with the shifting supply. While I do agree that early adopters may have too many coins, one can hardly argue that they don't deserve some reward for being the people willing to take a risk with Bitcoin.
quite true, and quite often they spend those early bitcoins to start new bitcoin businesses
