There are fewer than 11.5 million addresses in use, so fewer than 11.5 million people have any BTC. There is a lot more growth to come.

#14I'm tempted to say yes, but then I thought it was too late at $1, $33, and $266.

#15Given the volatility of Bitcoin, isn't this more like gambling rather than investing?

#17there is no such thing as "too late".. the only thing you should be deciding on, is how high/low will bitcoin be, end of next year. If you think the price per BTC will soar up to $2000, then was it too late to buy now? Absolutely no!
I bought a small amount now. Total speculation. Not enough to ever make a difference to me. I guess I'm like an entrepreneur who got heavily diluted.
My total guess is that there is a lot of pent up demand right now. A lot of tech people have already got into it but a lot more "normals" will take time to figure out how to get into bitcoin. Again, my guess is that it could collapse once the last of the "normals" has gotten theirs. Some chance there will be a day trading platform come out of it. Some chance it will become a lot bigger ... global currency level big. Who knows?
