One's greatest ability is distinguishing between what's genuine and what's fake, often hearing "so solid" and "big player"

Only for everything to crash and burn shortly after, collapsing and imploding.
If you can't tell the difference between fake and genuine, it only shows you have poor taste and low processing power, roughly equivalent to the computational ability of a paramecium, so you become a contrarian indicator of bad luck. You're the last link in the trend, so when you jump in the trend ends, when you buy it drops, when you sell it pumps😁
