A common misconception in tech and startup circles: experience always wins. But seasoned veterans sometimes overlook what fresh minds bring to the table.
Beginners lack the baggage of "how things have always been done." They ask naive questions that reveal hidden assumptions. They're willing to try unconventional approaches without the fear that paralyzes those who've seen failures before.
This is especially true in crypto and emerging tech spaces. The industry's most disruptive innovations often come from people who didn't know the "rules"—they just built what made sense.
So next time you're assembling a team, don't overlook the newcomers. Their outsider perspective might be exactly what you need to break through the next barrier.

ngl, this viewpoint is somewhat interesting, but it depends on the field... In crypto, there are indeed people who win by not understanding, but there are also a bunch of newbies losing everything they have, so it's better to form a mixed team to be effective.

ngl Newcomers do tend to come up with amazing things because they don't know what "impossible" means... The early Web3 pioneers were basically all like that.

Nah, that's why I hate those who call themselves "industry veterans." Really, sometimes they just overthink things... Beginners, on the other hand, don't have so many rules and just jump right in.

After research and analysis, the advantage of beginners indeed exists in the crypto circle. Those who dare to act without understanding the rules, historical data shows that many breakthrough projects come from this group. But the key is the background of the project team—without a reliable team backing, even the most innovative ideas can easily become capital manipulations.

Haha, that's why us newbies can buy the dip, while the seasoned veterans have been caught off guard.

To be honest, this viewpoint is the most popular in the crypto world. I've seen many veterans get boxed in by their own experience, while those newbies who don't know anything dare to just go for it... and end up exploding in popularity.
