True. But I wonder if the old ways lose efficacy over time and hence the new ways have a similar impact at their peak to the peak impact of the old ways.

Anybody else grow up skating🛹 ?
I feel like the experience uniquely prepares people to jump into bitcoin.
Proof of Work - practicing the same trick over and over again for days, weeks, even months until you get it or perfect it.
Taking Risk - slamming on a big gap or set of stairs is risky but the reward is worth it.
Civil Disobedience - skaters aren’t accepted anywhere. Can’t count how many times I’ve been chased out of a spot by security guards or police, just for skating.
Healthy Disrespect for Authority - ignoring said security guards and trying to land the trick anyway or mocking them as you outrun their fat asses.
The Ability To See What Others Don’t - you see a picnic table, I see something I can put over a set of 4 stairs and grind if there’s no rail or it’s too high.
Appreciation for Elegance - not everybody’s style is smooth but when you see a trick executed perfectly, it’s oh so beautiful.
Distaste For Shitcoiners - don’t tell me roller blading’s equally as difficult, the things are literally stuck to your feet (I say this with love 😉)
Maybe it’s a stretch but I see a lot of parallels.
