Scammers are some of the smartest people around.

Some scammers are smarter than some people around them. Fixed.

That's actually true, a lot (not all) of con artists and scammers are Genius level, especially complex scams not the "you won the lottery" crap.

I once heard a schoolkid on bus ask his mates "What does IQ mean?" One replied: "I think it means 'Intelligence Quiz'" I lol'd pretty hard.

Anyone can understand bitcoin if it is properly explained. The core issue is that most people have a deficit when it comes to understanding how money itself works. Thus the leap to Bitcoin is problematic. Like computers, the internet, smart phones and many other innovations, it's just going to take patience and time to see the masses adopt and understand Bitcoin. The good news is that Bitcoin isn't going away and the network is worth over 12 billion dollars now.

That's a good question
I reckon that at this point you need slightly above average IQ to get comfortable (my guess would be that around a third of the world's population fit the bill)

As time passes, arguably the experience will need to get dumbed down to the point that even a complete imbecile can acquire, secure and spend coins

Big ask if you break it up that way!

not to know all the technical details inside out, because few people can do that.

just understand the basic concepts of different parts of the bitcoin system, and how they relate to each other.

what is the minimum iq needed, and what % of world population is below that requirement?
