You’re still not responding to what I actually said.

No one claimed “X said it’s good, therefore it’s good.” The point was that ignoring what experienced people say entirely is just as dumb as following them blindly.

You told me to “think for myself.” Great. Thinking for yourself doesn’t mean pretending expert opinion doesn’t exist. It means weighing it against your own understanding. That’s literally how learning works.

Calling it a “ChatGPT list” is just you dodging the question. If those people are wrong, explain why. If some are right for bad reasons, name them. Laughing and changing the subject isn’t an argument.

You’re shadowboxing a strawman and congratulating yourself for winning.

The reason is the crypto pump & dump - literally no other reasoning is required for my personal conclusion.

  • If “crypto = scam” is the full extent of your analysis, then you’re not being skeptical or careful. You’re just running a reflex and pretending it’s reasoning.

    People who actually understand things can explain how they’re wrong. People who don’t just announce they’ve already reached a conclusion and declare further thought unnecessary.

    If that’s your bar, then yes, no other reasoning is required, because none was applied in the first place.

    • Dude, someone trying to a run a pump & dump scam on me is as clear of a negative “signal” as it gets. What are you on about?
