It is also not always easy to know what we know and know what we do not know, and some times it can take thousands of hours to learn about a certain subject, and sometimes people need some very basic skills and experiences to even be able to relate to certain topics, and so there could be some topics in which we are either early in our learning or we are struggling to understand certain aspects of the topic, so we may well be more dependent upon the observations of others, than to form our own opinion.. and whether we have time to study that area or whether our time is well spent to study certain topics can be questions of judgement including that we might not be able to have strong opinions in areas in which we are struggling to understand that topic.

There is another famous quote, He who knows; and knows not that he knows is asleep, wake him. He who knows; and knows that he knows is wise, follow him.

At time we are shy in admitting the fact that we don't have much knowledge about certain topic. There must be no shy in admitting that limitation. Like this forum is open to ask anything and if I don't have knowledge about certain aspect of Bitcoin then I must ask here rather then worrying what others will say about me.

That part is true.. There can be some topics that we easily figure out and then other topics that take time, and I have had friends that said that they spent 10s if not hundreds of hours studying aspects of bitcoin, and they say that they still do not understand bitcoin very well, and there can be a lot of reason for confusion, and sometimes, some people have been in bitcoin (and perhaps shitcoins too) for many years, but there still might be some basics that they do not understand very well, and a person brand new to bitcoin might not be able to notice if their mentor is kind of full of shit, and it could take a few years to figure out that they may have outgrown their teacher.. because there are some teachers who are able to teach ONLY so many things to the student, and then the student might know more than the teacher in certain areas due to studying and maybe other characteristics or limitations that any of us might have in terms of our ability to learn past certain kinds of ways that we might think about the world or about certain topics.

Yes there are people who understand quickly and there are people who take time to grasp same thing. Even if someone is slow learner then with hard work and dedication he can catch up others.

Teaching is not an easy task and if you are into teaching then you learn more with time. Since there are different students that ask different questions and as teacher you have knowledge of some while for other questions you find answers and that adds to your knowledge. Moreover there are brilliant students who are not good teachers as they cant express there knowledge in words in-front of others.

On this forum there are members active since 2015 or even before that. So there advice matters since they are into crypto for quite a while now. As time goes we can have better understanding that who is giving true info and who is not. But it will take time and our continuous presence here.

There is a lot of news out there that may be difficult to distinguish which news is trash and which news is genuine. For me the ratio is 1 to 100 or even more than that.
Now is the age of easy access to things and like it or not behind the convenience there are definitely negatives that are in it, we cannot separate the two words, positive and negative, because both will always walk side by side, that's how we can sort it out or not.
There is nothing wrong with listening to advice from other people or groups, but we should not swallow it raw or in other words, we immediately believe it. After all, we have to review what others say, until we find the real facts.

I agree. Many of us see coinmarketcap for bitcoin price check and it took me sometime to learn that CMC gathers info from 20 different sources and gives average price of Bitcoin. There are rumors that CMC uses his repute to manipulate price of bitcoin or other coins (which I cant confirm). The point is we must know the reality of source we are following. Like if I am using CMC to check price of Bitcoin then I should have knowledge that Bitcoin gathers Bitcoin price from 20 different sources.
