New people in the space have strong opinions - Veterans have knowledge. What do you think attracts attention?

Objectively true. At the start there was Satoshi and Hal. Intellectual dilution ever since 😅

Absolutely yes. It's the endless September problem combined with the adoption curve, 80% of bitcoiners are new and think they know everything. Also the vast majority of people who joined after 2016 are relying on unearned knowledge because they haven't put any effort into understanding it from fir...

Definitely.

Unbearably. https://blossom.primal.net/0399c6fb8f49eb3d39cf7cd8f23c4223d578c7884c1c2074f41616f92313ee24.jpg

more like dumber people are becoming bitcoiners

/Idiocracy voice/ What?

No. The 2nd generation of Bitcoiners is dumb by design.

By the minute fuck man

Over time, dump people join anything...

Only if they runs v30

While I haven't been around long enough to say it's getting worse, I've been thinking about similar things in my fiat career. In uni, I had colleagues who were great at coding and at large areas of maths, but who were idiots at statistics. I think they just couldn't deal with uncertainty. I imagine...

On average, yes. It's called regression toward the mean. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_toward_the_mean

I think it's a sign that the network is growing and becoming more accessible. Before, it was necessary to have specific knowledge to use bitcoin. Today, you only need to download an app, at most.

With increased adoption and more retail retards joining obviously YES

Well, with increased adoption, bitcoiners are getting averaged into population.

Well of course, people IQ is declining proportially to AI mass adoption.

Yes. A change due to composition was expected but alas it is also structural.

We all are collectively less capable of storing information which seems logical if you look at the society we created.

I'm not sure it's just bitcoiners. Social media algorithms stealing everyone's attention and people getting too reliant on LLMs for everyday tasks are serious headwinds for human intelligence.

Yes. Of course. As the general public adopts bitcoin node usage the dumber the ecosystem becomes. #Osification

I feel people naturally get dumber as they age. Cycle of life

yes

Assuming the smartest enter first then the average intelligence will drop throughout adoption. This is a common occurrence with the general adoption of new technologies.

True believers first, bandwagoners now. Do that math. Our question is, could the dumb bitcoiners ruin a good thing?

Yes, it started more than 10 years ago.

humans are getting dumber in general. evolution is the biggest lie ever, humans are devolving.

How do you propose to deal with spam? The answer is not "don't, there is nothing we can do".

Probably

Owning Bitcoin gives us the freedom to be stupid if we so choose🤙

probably

i guess they are humans after all

"Maybe if I talk louder they will listen" -the dumb ones "I should start researching big sticks" -the smart ones

Are the early adopters starting to sound like gatekeepers over time?

Not miners tho ⛏️

By definition, yes

Yes I am
