quality does not scale well / small is beuatiful

Yes its kind of frustrating to see where the masses are…
But at the end it just a signal to adopt ones personal noise filter. Reddit has too much gossip and social media marketing grind (where is mastercoins marketing budget spent?).
And Bitcointalk is also getting worse over time. Too many people - too less quality.
Seems that there is some logic that the stuff where the masses are, are getting more superficial.
Avantgarde and masses are contradictions. I dont mean that arrogant or elitarian. People who have strong desire to think further are putting themself away from the center and the present. Even if the center would follow up quickly then you would even go further. There is a drive to be ahead…

I am very sceptical that revolutionary ideas like btc will be adopted by the masses that way like they are intended. They will adopt it not because of the noble features but because of convenience and comfort.
And thats why I think one of the biggest dangers for btc could be a similar project, more convenient, easier to use, but in its foundations a traitor.
Ripple looks to me somehow like that (faster but not decentralized).
Mobile networks in relation to Internet is like that. People do not appreciate the decentralized concept of the Internet, they exchange it on the fly with a totally centralized, controlled network like mobile if its more convenient.

But I am not frustrated with that. Stuff that really matters will survive by itself. It will be stronger. Like open source is stronger the long run and like independent developers like you guys are stonger then some devs in some million dollar funded silicon valley startups.

I think that mailing list will be that what you asked for. Maybe small but beautiful!
