Wow, I gotta say I’m a bit baffled.
Disagreements aside it is a bit harsh to wish someone gets burned whilst holding BTC. It wouldn’t inspire trust and improve adoption of BTC, similar to the Coldcard debacle.

Keeping one’s wits and making up one’s mind based on broader social signals and not an expert’s sole opinion surely is a sounder way to do things.
In a world where information is abundant and ”experts” gladly promote for clicks, it is imo a sounder approach to increase the broadband of information and expertise from both sides of the rift.
When I do though read you wish people got financially hurt because of a different opinion, it doesn’t help you winning points in my book
