In 2016 I don't think you can regard all newbies on this site as idiots. A lot of people with high ranked accounts have sold them, you never know if a newbie is really a newbie these days (hope I explained myself well here).
I am myself a newbie and i think being a newbie is not a bad thing.
Exactly! Everyone starts as a Newbie here and Definitely Newbies are not fools.
You cannot link all Newbies to being fool's. Some will read and learn from others mistakes so there is a lot of chances for someone new to be pretty "smart" for lack of terms just by learning from others mistakes. And it depends on their goal in a lot of cases.
I would say it's the ones that are expecting to get rich quick, that are fool's. As BTC is not a get rich quick scheme, it is a investment. The investment is a higher risk higher reward one then most, but still not get rich quick. Those coming here to learn or use BTC long-term I think are on the right track. A fool and his money are soon parted... is true in regular investments and also is true here. But I strongly don't think all newbie's are fool's, and we all started there once. So if you think newbie's are fools in a way we would all be fool's.
