The problem with this is, it's hard to figure out whom this applies to. We have two groups, Bitcoiners, and Detractors (trolls, SA goons, etc)
The situation could be any of the following:
- Bitcoiners are dumb, but think they are smarter than the detractors, and are ignoring the advice of the smart detractors.
- Detractors are dumb, but think they are smarter than bitcoiners, and are ignoring the advice of the smart bitcoiners.
I think you misinterpret the Dunning-Kruger effect.
You do not have to be dumb to be affected. It's a
relative scale.
The smartest people on earth have problems with this phenomenon.
It simply states that people affected will think they are smatrter than they realy are.
It's about thinking you are smarter than you actually are. It's not about being smart or dumb in an absolute way.
Moreover, you synthetically divide the community into 'bitcoiners' and 'detractors' while it's an obvious 'no true scotsman'.
We have two very distinct groups here: people who like bitcoin and support it, and people who dislike bitcoin and think it's stupid. The group that is indifferent is irrelevant, since it simply doesn't participate. I don't see an issue with the 'no true scotsman' here.
