As it was with the telephone, the radio, the television, the internet and email.... it is with cryptocurrency.

Some people know right away. The Innovators knewthe potential that this had, and they bought in from day one. These people were risk takers, PIONEERS! They could smell a good thing from miles away. And these trailblazers were rewarded big time!

We have entered the era of theearly adopters. We learn from the Innovators. We saw them risk it all and want to follow suit. Now that others have tested the waters for us, the are diving in and taking the risk. People may not believe in this, but we do. We NOW see the future and the potential. We will be here pushing this technologyforward and spreading the word to make the next group feel comfortable to join us.

Once there has been a proven track record a lot of people start to come out of the woodwork, the early majority are jumping on board. They do not have to risk it all, they get inright on time. This stage tends to take a little bit longer as it spreads, but it does. These people believe that they are pushing the veil, but the veil was already built for them.

After much skepticism, the late majority starts to get on board. They don't have to worry about making mistakes. All the bugs have been worked out and then they drag their feet past the finish line. These people follow because they know the technogy is now the newnorm, and they just have to catch up with the others.

This group is what we call the laggards. Sometimes these people are senior citizens or traditionalistsand sometimes these people are just stubborn and stuck in their ways. They think of everything as a phase or a "fad". The only reason these people get involved is usually because they have no choice. The technologyis now too big to ignore and it is needed to survive daily life.

How does it feel knowing that you are in the early adoption stage? Were you lucky enough to join in the innovator stage? Sometimes people worry day to day about the price, they stare at charts and they panic. Just remember, this is a marathon not a sprint. This will take time. Patience is key. If you hang in there long enough, we all win!
