When I give a peek to 4chans /pol or reddit, facebook, twitter, pretty much any big community and/or social network people seem to be so ignorant and willing to voice their ignorance whereas in communities such as Bitcointalk (and a couple others which I shall not name) people are able to put together logical arguments, have discussions and view the current events without the glasses with a thick layer of crappy propaganda on them?
Seems that you rarely stumble upon ignorant fools on here.
The two main differences between Bitcointalk.org and facebook are:
1. Bitcoins take a little bit more technical know-how and effort to acquire, whereas anyone can sign up for facebook and use it to its full potential.
2. Bitcoins are money- by default people should be smarter when dealing with them than with facebook or twitter, where it doesn't matter how dumb you are. If you're stupid on facebook, oh well. If you're acting stupid with bitcoins, you lose money.
However, like others have said, Bitcoiners only
seem to be more intelligent. People you agree with are going to seem smarter than they really are. There are
a ton of conspiracy theorists on here. The average person may see everything through a "thick layer of crappy propaganda" but there are a lot of people on here who are just as bad, just in the opposite political spectrum.
