I was a regular middle-class guy who got lucky and spotted the Gridcoin ad on boincstats in Nov 2015 (thank you @cm-steem -> he financed that advertising campaign with €). The price of Bitcoin was around $350 then (yes, three hundred and fifty dollars, it's not a typo). Over the next few months, I bought like 130 BTC, spending most of my savings. I invested it all into GRC initially, since I believed BTC has run its course. It turned out it hasn't, but nevertheless I was hodling GRC dearly, selling some of it during occasional spikes in 2016 and reinvesting partially into STEEM and BTS. Learn from my experience :)

@vortac wow. That's awesome. I got in on Gridcoin August 2016 and mined a few thousand but unfortunately didn't buy. I finally bought a significant quantity this summer and so far have quadrupled my initial investment... but still nowhere near as good as you :P
One would hope that we're still in the early stages of crypto and Gridcoin. I'm imagining how fun it would be if we "early" adopters got super duper rich, like filthy rich (yeah, I know I'm not really "early".. but anyways). We could all timeshare mansions around the world and throw enormous parties.... the geeks that we are I'm sure it would be wild hahaha.
(95% joking ... I'm obviously not here just to get rich. That's definitely not the Gridcoin ethos.. I'd much rather see Gridcoin be a genuine success and benefit to science/humanity vs. just get rich. Still though haha..)
