Most people interested in Bitcoins right now are geeks and the majority of geeks should have jailbroken their iPhones.
80% of the whole iPhone user mass is a gross overestimation, but I don't think that it's an overestimation to say that 80% of huge geeks have jailbroken their iPhones.
- olivercameron 16y agoA lot of my friends are "geeks", and none of them have a jailbroken iPhone. In fact, the only person I know who has a jailbroken iPhone is a regular teenager, and that's because he refuses to pay for apps.
- jrockway 16y agoHow many of your friends use Bitcoins?
- olivercameron 16y agoZero.
- jrockway 16y agoRight, so your data point is not really relevant to the conversation. The implication was that anyone interested in bitcoin would probably have a jailbroken phone, and since none of your friends are interested in bitcoin, whether or not they have a jailbroken iphone is not particularly relevant. The original context was: For those interested in Bitcoin right now (mostly geeks) I'd say the percentage of jailbroken iDevices is much higher, i'd throw 80% out as a guess. I think we can all agree that this is reasonable.
