The conclusion must be that they're not actually very smart people.

Likely that a lot of these "smart" ceos are people that were in the right place at the right time that fortunately had hired the right people that drove their success. To them the internet was a golden goose. Maybe NFTs are the next golden goose? They're running on pure hopium trying to cargo cult their way into their next billion and not really understanding anything about how they got there.

No one is categorically smart. It’s domain specific. Know your weaknesses, protect yourself from yourself.

In your opinion, is Warren Buffet not smart because he doesn't know how to check his email?

Warren Buffet is smart and he would also be telling everyone to not touch any cryptocurrency related project with a ten thousand foot pole
