If you have been here long enough and have actively participated and engaged in discussion about bitcoin in the various boards, chances are that you have become more financially literate and intellectually curious than many of your peers who are not involved in bitcoin. To put it another way, if you had taken a pretest on financial literacy before joining this forum say in 2021 assuming you were a complete bitcoin noob and scored poorly. If you are given the same test in 2024, after actively engaging in the community, you'd likely score much higher. Simply by being involved, discussing, and learning from other members, your financial literacy could easily double or more compared to when you first registered..

In addition, other things that you would have seen happen to you within the time are that:

• You will tend to be intellectually curious and emotionally stable
• you will value personal growth, relationships, community over material possessions

This is the result of a study by a behavioral scientist from University of Toronto called Stefano Di Domenico, PhD presented at a Canadian Bitcoin Conference. 

Now, although the data wasn't collected on this forum specifically I find it relevant to bitcoiners in generalize and can be applied to our community. At least I speak for myself and newbies who I have watched go from making off-topic posts to engaging in intellectual discussions about bitcoin and related topics.

What do you guys think. Are the findings of the study relatable in your experience, or that of someone you know on this forum or elsewhere?
