A number of hedge fund managers and intellectuals with a deep understanding of Bitcoin technology have been playing with the cryptocurrency's ideas. Eric is an example of this and is incredibly intelligent, which has allowed him to navigate this journey successfully.
In this podcast, the guest speaker explains how the most intellectual people in society are those who challenge the mass thought process and freely play with ideas, drawing from experiences of successful hedge fund managers and money managers. The discussion centers on how these free thinkers have thought more about ideas such as Bitcoin than anyone else, allowing them to challenge and innovate in unique ways.
The Dunning-Kruger effect gives individuals an overblown level of confidence about how much they understand when first exploring ideas deeply. The Bitcoin community serves as an immune system that protects against bad ideas.
The speaker suggests that when communicating with communities that have been bombarded with bad ideas and criticisms, it's important to develop patience, especially when the person is coming from a good place.
