You gotta actually understand what you're talking about to hang in serious conversations—that's just how it works. But here's the thing: most people, especially those with a big platform, don't bother doing the homework. They'll go on air, drop opinions left and right, and act like they know the market, the tech, the fundamentals. Spoiler alert: they don't. It's honestly wild how many voices in this space have massive followings despite having zero clue what they're even discussing. The bar for actually knowing your stuff versus just having good vibes? It's never been lower.
