Is it just me or this community getting slightly stupider?
Monero has a great reputation of being comprised mostly of geniuses, nerds and political freethinkers (whereas Dash on the other hand has a reputation of being comprised mostly of pot-smoking retards.)
I guess it is true that as Monero becomes more widespread, then more mainstream elements will inevitably permeate, bringing down the overall IQ of the community.
But seriously though, might we try not to rush it?
Also, I speculate that XMR will be aggressively dumped as the price quadruples - a good thing. Else in 4 years from now, people will not want to buy into XMR because of the 'knowledge' that it is mostly comprised of huge whales that could dump the price at any moment - a phenomenon that by then is known as "Satoshi's Dump."
Monero has the advantage that, unlike with Bitcoin, you can't track the blockchain for incoming deposits at exchanges nor measure the amount of Bitcoin days destroyed. I've witnessed multiple occasions where people started dumping based on Bitcoin days destroyed.
EDIT: Regarding the IQ part, I haven't really seen new community members enter that are significantly more stupid than the current community members. Bear in mind that people might be smart in general, but have limited knowledge about tech for example and thus need help setting up their wallets or mining.
