This is something that may sound out of a motivational book, but I realized that we naturally tend to follow some kind of authority when in comes to subjects we feel we don't master, which is mostly everything in life besides our own expertise. There is always someone that knows better and has a wider background when it comes to things like health, food, finances etc. You rather listen to a doctor's recommendation when it comes to your blood tests, a nutritionist when it comes to your diet and a financial advisor or an economist when it comes to finances. I guess you see where I'm going with all this. It's impossible not to fall into the "follow the experts" fallacy, because most of the times those experts are right and you should follow their advice. But the moment you're not carefully analyzing what the experts are saying you go back to normieland where you end up "trusting the science" and following Buffet's advice on bitcoin.

I guess most people attracted to BTC are in a way immune to this type of issue, at least that's what I thought for myself. But I recently found out that I was pushed away from building a multisig setup for my cold storage because most of the experts recommended not to do it! I did it to get a feeling for the thing and make some tests to see how to handle it, conclusion: most experts aren't right, most people could do it if they take care of their seeds and their zpubs. It's the perfect fix for a cold storage that is potentially your inheritance.

I remember now, why I didn't take the experimental gene therapy, I use bitcoin (with multisig :), i'm not drawn into anything crypto related and I don't think we should curtail CO2 because of "climate change". I am not an expert in any of those fields but I do trust my critical thinking and my guts in order to decide what my position should be regarding all that. Freedom is beautiful but it requires taking responsibility and deciding for everything that concerns your life, the moment we leave our decisions for some expert's committee we end up in the clown world we're living now.
