Above average intelligence in Bitcoinland?  Hummmm, I don't know. How many people here have fallen for scams like Pirateat40 pulled even with other people screaming at them "it's a scam you fucking idiot"?

I don't think you need above average intelligence at all but basic computer aptitude helps. Understanding basic coding concepts helps even more. I've met some coders that were one step below Rainman on the IQ scale but they were good with computers just like Rainman could count cards. LOL
