Congratulations you are an analyst, trader, expert, renowned crypto veteran. Why we should stop pedestalizing others in this industry.

The number of times we see "journalists" in cryptocurrency industry quote people that are so called "experts" in cryptocurrency is beyond me. There's literally no criterion used to define such experts in cryptocurrency.

Did you ever successfully buy a shitcoin and generated some nice returns? Congratulations, you're an expert. Did you ever draw a few lines on a chart? Congratulations, you're an analyst. Did you experience crypto for at least a year? Congratulations, you're a veteran.

I'm not sure why this tendency exists, maybe it's a human tendency to anything newt that we pedestalize anyone that looks like they know something, but it's a toxic thing that may do more harm than good.

We can better trust our own judgement, instincts and analytics as opposed to step into the, more easy, road of following mentioned "experts". No one will be accountable but you in the end anyways.

What do you think? Are we following others too soon? Classifying them as experts?
