Recently, I've often seen this phenomenon in the community—some people like to pile up technical jargon, use obscure language to complicate simple matters, making it seem impressive to read, but in fact, they are creating barriers to understanding.

Upon closer inspection, the trick is nothing more than deliberately distorting plain language. How do true experts do it? Quite the opposite. They can explain the most complex matters in the simplest way, making it easy for you to understand at a glance. This is not simplicity; rather, it is a realm of mastery.

The same applies in the crypto world. Those who use flowery words to package projects or use complex logic to confuse retail investors usually have something to hide. Those who can clearly explain mechanisms and thoroughly discuss risks are the ones worth trusting. Remove the false professional veneer, and you'll see who truly understands and who is just pretending.

Hearing this, I agree. The more project teams use big words to bluff people, the more I want to step back. Really, too many money-grabbing schemes rely on this. A bunch of jargon thrown at retail investors, who simply can't keep up. I really dislike those who casually say "multi-sig governance protocol," which is basically multi-signature wallets, but they have to make it sound complicated.

That's so true, you can tell at a glance who's bragging.

Exactly right. Crypto scammers love this trick; the more complicated it sounds, the more suspicious it is. Genuine experts can explain everything clearly in three sentences, without any unnecessary words. Projects with whitepapers filled with dense text, I now just pass on them. Teams that openly discuss risks actually make people feel more at ease. Seeing through the essence is that simple—don't be fooled by technical jargon.

Seeing through it, nine out of ten project teams full of jargon are probably deceiving people.

To the point, most projects in the crypto world filled with complex jargon are not worth much.

You're absolutely right. The crypto circle loves this set of tricks; the more unclear they are, the more they talk in fancy terms. Being straightforward and thorough is true skill. Seeing through at a glance who is bluffing and who truly understands. That jargon-stacking approach, nine times out of ten, can't hide the truth. Projects that can be explained simply and clearly usually have nothing to hide. The more complicated and risky it is, the more it violates the iron law. What I dislike most is this kind of behavior—making simple things complicated, really treating people like fools. Founders who can directly talk about the risks will win my trust in minutes. The more convoluted and roundabout, the more dangerous it is. Remember this point to avoid losses.

To the point, that's why I never trust those flashy project teams; straightforward and honest explanations are actually more reliable.
