The barrier to entry in crypto development shouldn't be low. A baseline IQ threshold makes sense—seriously, think about it. If we actually filtered out the bottom 95% of developers right now, the ecosystem would instantly become more competent. Quality over quantity isn't just nice to have; it's essential when building on blockchain.

Haha, that's a bit absurd. Filtering out 95% of developers? Then who will write the contracts?

This statement is too extreme, really? The bottom 95% of developers are being directly removed, so what’s left of the current public chain ecosystem…

ngl, this logic is a bit absurd. The real problem isn't the IQ threshold but the completely broken code audit mechanism.

This guy's point is valid, but the reality is that 95% of the people at the bottom won't voluntarily exit; instead, they will lower the overall IQ floor of the entire ecosystem.

This idea is really too idealistic. In reality, who will set this "baseline"? Anyway, it won't be you or me.

I really want to laugh at this daily threshold theory. The IQ screening method sounds like an elite fantasy, but in the end? How many of the most profitable projects in the crypto world are written by geniuses...

This idea is really outrageous, IQ screening? Uh... then who will define this line?

NGL, this logic is a bit absurd... If we really judge by IQ, those early-stage rogue developers who got in first should have been pushed out long ago. But what’s the result? The ecosystem is still relying on them to support it.

This idea is too naive; IQ tests can't determine who can write good smart contracts, and elitist filters will only make the ecosystem more closed off.
