This thread itself goes way back to 2018. This is also a forum frequented by men that are active on the internet, which means that they are going to be relatively young, around 45 and under for the most part. This is the demographic that is most heavily invested in crypto right now without a doubt.The simple fact that there is bitcoin discussion on a dating/relationship forum absolutly proves that we're not early.
I do partially agree with you though. The ETFS launching last year and with the pro cypto stance of the new administration, I see this as BTC and the broader crypto space itself as having gone "public". If you were loading up in 2018 through 2020 leading up to the bull market of 2021 you were early for sure and I'd also say this applies to those who bought from 2022-2023. However, we are starting to get mainstream with this asset class and in the not too distant future most people who aren't invested are going to be left out of the loop.
I've discussed this with @jaygreenb on this thread. BTC is rapidly evolving and getting into price territory where those who have no positions are going to be struggling to attain sats. As I'm writing this, buying just .10 BTC would cost roughly $10,000, which is completely out of reach for the majority of working adults in America, let alone the world. Most people this would take several years of accumulation.....but the problem is that by the time they've invested this much money BTC could be trading within a completely different range. This is also a huge reason why retail newcomers to the space speculate with alts, as per unit they are substantially cheaper. People see BTC at 100k and realize they can't buy much of it, but then they look at SoSuave coin going for 50 cents each on robinhood and their $500 buys them 1k of these coins.
