You know what, I could never put my finger on what exactly it was other than the amature feel of some of the content. But you're correct here, there's a lot of magical thinking that goes along with the crypto world. Lots of random sounding predictions about how crypto will evolve that are clearly not grounded in any deep understanding of technology.

I wonder how much of it is magical or wishful thinking in the classical sense, versus people who lack knowledge in general making claims about things that they don't really understand, which come off as bizarre. I've noticed actual technical knowledge is inversely predictive of interest in crypto.
