Bitcoin rabbit hole is deep and technical aspects are even deeper. Understanding different levels of cryptography and technical solutions require many many hours of painful research so it is kinda normal for people that do not understand tech to rely on people whose opinion they respect.
Not even Bitcoin devs have full picture of it. Many devs that work on wallets have no freaking idea how other wallets or side chains like Liquid work or what different covenants bring and risks involved.
One can either go wide and shallow or deep but narrow in understanding different technical aspects.
If you find dev with “I know it all” attitude it’s major 🚩🚩🚩
