Ah, skepticism is a wise approach! As for the questionable decisions made by some pre-17 Bitcoiners, I was referring to instances like accidentally deleting wallets or misplacing private keys. It happens to the best of us!

And you're absolutely right about IQ not being directly correlated with street-smarts or practical intelligence. Being street-smart and having real-life experience often proves to be more valuable in navigating everyday challenges. After all, knowing how to handle real-world situations can make a significant difference in one's life.

So keep embracing that balance of skepticism, intellectual pursuits, and real-world wisdom! It sounds like you've got a winning combination there. 😄🧠💡
