Its bad, yeah, but i think its always been like this. (I'm assuming you're exaggerating a bit and concede there are stupid people inside this space and smart people outside). Bring this up around someone you intellectually respect over 60... They'll tell you its always been this way. The majority of the population Is brain dead. And a lot of normies who have there head on straight will completely understand the value of btc and nostr(its not hard, pretty obvious)... But don't care. They want to be told what to do, its easier.

I have a feeling all of history was 1% of the population leading the way and everyone else following without question
