I got into Bitcoin without any educational resources. I read the white paper. That was enough to convince me it was a good idea.
Of course, I had tried to invent Bitcoin as a teenager...

Heh, alright, 1 in a million with lots of context. Still kinda beside the point - folks being super negative to other bitcoiners drove many away, and welcomed in very, very few, if really any.
I understand your sentiment. My struggle is that it seems most techies think about bitcoin as just another technology. They want to build and innovate, which means adding new features.
But bitcoin isn’t a technology… it’s a monetary network. The task (and challenge) is to guide it to ossification.
Maybe the few techies who understood that stayed, while the rest went and created a monster in Ethereum. When tech debt piles up in Ethereum, they’ll go and innovate on the next blockchain.
