Continually amazed by the bitcoin community’s lowest common denominator. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but I think there’s a bit of a “filter” to becoming involved in Bitcoin, that requires a certain threshold of work/effort and hours spent understanding the concepts and vision. As a result, even beginners in this space are unusually insightful people with great ideas and perspectives.
Happy Tuesday all 🧡
You're right - it's really refreshing & uplifting to be around those that get it 🥳
Looking forward to the day that I'll be surrounded by a community of skilled & unskilled bitcoiners 24/7 - both online and in meatspace - that share similar values and understanding of the world.
Currently contribution & network-based but wouldn't surprise me to see a form of bitcoin ethics evaluations as a prerequisite for "proof of work".

a wise person once told me bitcoin attracts the smartest and most talented people in the world

Interesting point of view and a lot of truth to it! Especially now that the bear market has flushed some of the mainstream hype out of this space. Indeed, both technology and monetary theory are already two pretty nerdy places to be, but historically without much overlap. Bitcoin combines the two fields beautifully!
