A goal for myself, and everyone:
Be far more mindful to not stubbornly criticize or praise something that you can’t explain. Be skeptical, whether positive or negative, until you can make a strong case for/against it in the face of opposition.
This was a huge mistake I made when I first got into #Bitcoin. My real journey started when I sought out strong, logical arguments for why Bitcoin would fail, and found myself able to make the case better than anyone, but knew enough that I could also explain why every point against it was wrong.
I still fail at this, but I’ve been humbled enough times to at least recognize and actively work to temper strong opinions about things when I’ve “read an article” or worse, I only saw a few headlines and didn’t even realize I read almost nothing about it except a few other peoples’ opinions of a social media post.
