You may be underestimating how much meaning people derive from jumping on bandwagons and having a simple to understand group identity.
Your suggestion would make many people unhappy. They can't win the competence game and hence 'really investigating' is a losing proposition for them. What they can do is jump on bandwagons very quickly, hoping to score a first mover advantage.
How much of an advantage would one get from taking a couple of years to really investigate Bitcoin and the algorithms involved, vs buying some as early as possible and telling everyone else how great it is? :)
