8) The team is really smart. The team delivers, quickly, and well. Also, the team is not trying to promote it at all. I think it's easy to mistake having a lazy deck for having a lazy project.

9) But, also, I might be wrong: there are some reasons others are uncertain that I don't have a great grasp of. We'll see! --- There have been other cases, too. FTX, and Serum, in their early days: it's always easier to have an inside view than an outside one.

10) Also, though, there are times which are different: times when I _really_ don't see the appeal of something. But enough people I trust do that it seems like a strong sign. And I don't have a reason to distrust their reasoning.

11) One of those was the Open Philanthropy Project. From the outside, I was skeptical. People I trusted vouched for it, though. I didn't quite know why -- but also didn't have a particular reason to doubt them. And they knew more than me. Turns out, they were right.

12) Anyway: a) knowing more is better, etc. b) but also, it's helpful to understand what others think and why, and see whether you feel comfortable dismissing it or compelled to update on it c) if you trust someone and don't see a reason to dismiss, you should update some

totally hear you on that FWIW I tweeted many times that I was skeptical of YFI. We also have YFI perps -- you can go long or short, up to you. But totally hear you on SRM.
