The network effect sure is amazing. Just word of mouth is amazing as it generates so many more people to create wallets. I think the more known something is the more it moves around in the network. So I definitely agree that work that the early adopters did was vital to it's success. I would not be surprised to see more wallets opened every time BTC makes a new high because nobody would shy away from a potential money making opportunity.
