In the crypto space, you can throw out practically any take, and given enough time, there's a good chance you'll look like you nailed it.
But that doesn't make you a visionary.
Here's the thing—with enough years passing by, someone's bound to be right about something. Market predictions, price movements, regulatory shifts, technology breakthroughs—the variables are endless. Post enough theories and mathematically, at least some will pan out. It's less genius and more statistical inevitability.
The real difference between actual insight and lucky guesses? Timing, conviction, and being right for the right reasons. Anyone can say "Bitcoin will go up" or "altcoins will crash"—eventually one version happens. But explaining *why*, *when*, and positioning accordingly? That's the actual skill nobody should confuse with blind optimism.

This is what I hate—the bunch of people who can guess right by luck and then turn around to boast about being a master...

Well said, chips won't deceive. Those so-called prophets who claim to predict everything after the fact, boasting about their predictions based on just 3 days of K-line analysis as if they can foresee half a year's trend, are typical of rookie mentality. What truly matters is the ability to grasp the timing and the rhythm of risk release, rather than blindly going all-in based on probabilities.

ngl this hits different after watching ppl get liquidated for being "right eventually" lmao... timing isn't just everything, it's literally the difference between profit and getting rekt on leverage. seen too many prophets go broke waiting for their call to print fr

Basically, it's just bluffing based on probability theory; there are too many things like this in the crypto world.

Talking nonsense all along, isn't it just saying "guessing blindly can also be right"... I just want to ask, then why don't you go buy a lottery ticket?

Well said, this is the truth of the crypto world; you can win even by guessing blindly.
