Multi-choice tweets about cryptocurrency are becoming increasingly popular on X (Twitter). Question like "When do you think BTC will moon? A:Q3; BQ4", and so on.

Most of the time, the tweet is not seeking expert opinion; the owner of the tweet already has their belief validated in the back of their mind, but sometimes they want others to sort of affirm their validation, or at least see the number of people who believe in what they believe, aside from the other reason, which is to farm monetization on Twitter (which is not the focus).

Of course, no one is an expert in cryptocurrency or life in general, which is why we have options. We would rather be wrong with everyone else than be the only one who is correct. This is why we mostly seek the approval of others, to see if they fully support our decisions or not. Life is multi-choiced.

There are so many layers to everything, so many people who could be wrong or right, and we like to think we are following the people who make the right decision, because we believe a large number of people are more likely to be correct than a small number of people.

It is like BTC Maxis claiming that BTC is 90% cryptocurrency and altcoins are probably 10%. Ironically, people come for BTC because that is what they are most familiar with, but they settle in, study other projects, and invest in them, and this is what has the potential to pay off. Altcoiners, on the other hand, argue that BTC is hollow and meaningless without other projects, as it is essentially the tip of the iceberg and lacks depth.

However, anyone new to cryptocurrency may believe that following the decisions of millionaires is the best course of action, because most people believe that millionaires or billionaires are never financially inept. This is not meant to invalidate BTC Maxis or Alt maxis; it is more to say that we prefer to belong to a category, to be associated with something, rather than being perceived as being in the middle.

Black Or White?

Crypto is not black and white, and believing that there are no superior projects limits one's ability to be open to profitable opportunities. For example, open-minded people on Hive do not believe it is perfect or terrible; they are mostly in the middle. Why? This is because being open-minded allows you to find a balance.

Hive definitely needs to grow, perhaps by removing some witnesses from the top 20 and replacing them with others who are pragmatic and willing to make smarter decisions on behalf of the chain, but saying Hive is bad because it has not caught up with how well BTC is doing is simply playing the category game. Hive is more than what we think it is; it has both good and bad aspects.

Knowing this can be a step toward improving the blockchain. It is not completely perfect or bad because it is still growing and wickedly functional (even if we tend to downplay this based solely on price).

Our knowledge is limited,

.....which is why expert opinion may be incorrect. Sometimes the smart answers do not come from professionals, but we tend to believe that people who are not successful in life can not be smart enough. I have seen someone here (A Whale) expressly believe that someone who is not wealthy cannot teach others about financial literacy because they are not wealthy enough.

It is mostly a category game. True, our category tells a lot about us, but it does not fully define our beliefs.

Playing "The Category" Game

At the end of the day, anyone can be correct or incorrect, regardless of their inexperience or wealth of experience. Smart answers do not always come from the brightest minds, which is why playing the category game blinds us to the opportunities we can actually pursue.

For example, in my quest to manage my health condition, I have been open to many expert opinions, and I have discovered that even the most qualified doctors can be wrong; this does not diminish their qualifications; it is just life, and degrees or wealth of experience do not guarantee that people are always correct.

It is critical to avoid the category game, approach everything as if it were right or wrong, and maintain an open mind.
