For a second, I hesitated whether we're still early. And how much.
Then I met my tech ex-coworkers. They seemed more confident and less educated about Bitcoin than ever before. It shocked me.
-> We are so fucking early. And there's so much work to do out there.
The average tech worker is the barometer. When they are buying heavy bags and singing Bitcoin’s praises at 500k+ we’ll know early majority is here
I'm thinking that gig workers and service industry will front run them. Corporate-tech folks are actively building intelligentsia firewall from anything not backed up by their culture leaders.
Gig/service workers are more in touch with reality, and thus solutions to the real world problems. Tech folks live in the bubble with main problems being how much CO2 their neighbors emit, or what native land their office sits on.
They might front run boomers, but within the same generation bracket, I'd always bet on my bartender/cab driver over the app maintainers.
Definitely agree. Got workers and blue collar are already slowly adopting Bitcoin in some areas. Reality based humans. Really cool to see.
Confident about what, specifically? Tgat it is "old" tech? That wit will be replaced by some new hotness? That it is a bubble?
Yes, confident that it's beannie babies, doggie coins, tulips, and just for degen gamblers...
I've seen more hubris and closed mindedness than before from them. It actually surprised me that they moved backwards on their learning vectors.
It's like they grew roots in their previously more open-minded and curious positions.
Probably some sort of the derangement syndrome :-/
Honestly, I think bitcoin is such a daunting intellectual mountain to climb, I don't really fault peers, frens, and fam. They are going on really good heiristics ("what does a scam look like", "what does a bubble look like", "what does a cult look like", etc...) that have served them for years. On the other side, most bitcoiners are basically going on second-hand information that's been rarified and synthesized into narratives, so the plebs are limited in their capacity to advocate in an objective and robust way.
