Since reading the "Genisis Block" I have been wondering about the shifting of cultural aspects of bitcoin. Cultures evolve over time and I wonder what long time bitcoiners think about the shifts in bitcoin culture over time. I suspect it has had shifts over time and that will not stop. Eventually there won't be a bitcoin culture. It will just be society.
Many of the earliest Gs are completely checked out afaict. Among those that persist, there's a type that begins to play power games (more common among nontechnical Ver-types who feel like they have command over the people). Then there's another type that mostly chimes in to assist sense-making from time to time and without expectations.
I haven't seen enough of bitcoin culture to appreciate how it's changed, but it feels like the rank and file haven't grown with the price.
