There's a clear distinction between those who dare to ask tough questions and take calculated risks versus those who sit on the sidelines. One approach requires genuine courage—you're willing to challenge the narrative early, even when it's unpopular. The other? That's playing it safe. You keep quiet until the crowd changes direction, then suddenly you're on board with the new consensus. It's the difference between leading the conversation and chasing it.

Early challengers to the mainstream are either really foolish or truly brave; it's hard to say for sure.

Early on, they call you a scammer, and once you start making money, they say "I've always believed in you." There are way too many people like that.

Initially criticized, then praised—that's the fate of pioneers. But honestly, I have more respect for those who dare to disrupt the scene than for those who wait for the trend to shift before jumping in to ride the wave.
