You speak as if IQ is correlated in any way to how well a person will be able to perform in a job or how "smart" he is.

Often times I see the biggest fools get the highest IQ, Benjamin Netanyahu is alleged to have an IQ of 180 which makes him the 8th most intelligent person on earth, now that makes me think either the test was horribly flawed or the organization that issued it is corrupt.

Benjamin Netanyahu is the biggest ice cream eating, war mongering idiot the face of the planet has seen.

The idea is that as unemployment rises due to lack of opportunities (it doesn't happen because people are getting more stupid) the amount of intelligent individuals that would otherwise be employed also rises.

im gonna disagree with you on this, ever seen idiocracy?
secondly, intelligent people are hardly ever unemployed as they can acquire new skill sets relativley quickly or are in a field that is economy proof.

I never said anything of the sort. If you actually read what I said, it was more about marketing than anything you're ranting about.

And a lot of people with high IQs want to use it doing something good for the world. What is your point? A lot of people with low IQ's are corrupt.

What does Benjamin Netanyahu have to do with any of this? Are you against Israel or something?

People with high or low IQ's are equally likely to be unable to find a job in the future. IQ has nothing to do with career success or job performance.

But it does have a lot to do with problem solving abilities.
as little as I appreciate these societies and less the OP's hypothesis, an endorsement by them, the pirate parties, the think tanks, the presidents, the universities, the Alexa-high-ranks, the … whatever has influence to its direct associates and beyond can only be good for bitcoin, so go for it.

Personally I consider it better to have people that are considered intelligent to consider bitcoin a good idea than to sell the idea of bitcoin to people that themselves consider themselves intelligent more than anybody else.

Do we want Bitcoin to be something only used by drug dealers, prostitutes and conspiracy theorists?

The goal should be to attract all the brightest people on the planet to the Bitcoin source. It's for marketing but also because it's better for the world if we get really high IQ people to actually l think about Bitcoin.

How about you look at real life instead of movies? Some of the most intelligent people on the planet have to resort to jeopardy to make money. Others basically live off their fame of having scored really high on the IQ test. The rest who didn't score so high to be famous but not so low to be normal, they are more likely to be unemployed than the lower IQ folk.

No matter how smart you are, no matter how many skills you can acquire, opportunities are never free. If you don't have a GED or college degree you receive less opportunities than if you did no matter how smart you are. If you're the wrong gender or wrong race you'll have less opportunities no matter how smart you are. If you're an ex convict you'll have less opportunities no matter how smart you are.

Having opportunities in life has nothing at all to do with hard work, intelligence, or anything else. If you're a member of these high IQ societies you'd know that they are struggling in this economy just like everyone else, only their suffering is much worse because they have a high enough IQ to see what is wrong with society but no power to fix it.

These are the exact people who would understand what Bitcoin can do and who would have the free time and natural ability to contribute.
