I feel like the actual btc-focussed areas at SN (as opposed to places like ~books or ~Stacker_Sports) are like many subreddits (regardless of topic), with longtimers showing a lack of patience for what they perceive as questions that have been asked too many times, or are too basic to be "interesting."

OTOH, for all the reasons you state, the last place I want to hang out is X.
