For sure I've got to this point too, when I first got in I was so amped and excited and went through the evangelising phase, no one listened of course, which made me frustrated but I've learned to come to terms with that, its free will people will put the time and effort into something if they think its worth it

For me I got to Bitcoin looking desperately for alternatives to just saving cash because it wasn't working, failed at a lot of stuff before I got here, and while i'd like more people to enjoy the benefits I think are worthwhile, its okay if I get an outsized benefit by gobbling up sats others ignore

As more people prosper from using the money and the network, it makes for real life examples people cannot ignore. Its easy to ignore some random influencer, but if you see your neighbour or family memeber doing something and it works for them, you tend to want to give it a go

Yes, that's true. Everyone gets a chance in his lifetime to be the frontrunner. As an early adopter, you an I definitely have an edge. But, until technology matures enough, everyone's a frontrunner IMO.
