Some works published by well-known industry figures seem to compile years of experience, but in reality, they contain many flaws. For example, a biography of a certain exchange founder has a grand-sounding title, but upon reading, many chapters' logic and viewpoints are indeed flimsy, and some arguments even fail scrutiny. This also reminds us that having fame and achievements alone doesn't necessarily lead to good books; sometimes, celebrity publications can be disappointing. The exchange of ideas in the Web3 field should be more in-depth rather than superficial personal promotion.

A celebrity halo can't cover up logical flaws; sometimes, the more famous someone becomes, the worse their writing gets.

Looking at these big shots publishing books is just like reading their contracts; you have to peel back a layer of skin to see the truth. Fame ≠ logical rigor, and the on-chain data has long taught us this lesson. --- Instead of reading these superficial books, it's better to look at the fund flows of major addresses—that's the real "biography." --- Honestly, high-profile project teams don't necessarily have good writing skills... just like some audit reports, the surface is impressive, but the details are full of pitfalls. --- Why do some people always equate "success" with "being able to write a book"? I suggest this gentleman first clarify the logic of smart contracts before publishing a work. --- This book probably is like their white paper—impressive at first but full of flaws later. I won't spend money to verify it.

Celebrity book releases are just IQ taxes. Achievement ≠ ability to write a book. Why is this so hard to understand?

Celebrity book releases are just harvesting the leeks; if the logic holds, it's considered a win.

Having read that book, it’s indeed disappointing. Being good at business doesn’t mean you can tell stories. Celebrity effect is really harmful; I thought I could learn something when buying, but it turned out to be just self-promotion. That’s why I don’t like reading things written by industry insiders anymore; the套路 is too deep. Biographies? More like a pile of marketing copy, lacking depth. The Web3 community most lacks genuine discussion; instead, everyone is just selling personas. Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed. I thought I could learn some practical insights. Is this how celebrity books are these days, or is this guy just particularly mediocre?

Celebrities publishing books is just selling their fame; the actual content is often mediocre. --- Ha, I told you, some big shots' books are just IQ taxes, full of logical flaws. --- After flipping through a few chapters, I was directly discouraged; it's not as interesting as in-depth discussions on Twitter. --- Web3 needs true thinkers, not "textbooks" packaged by traffic stars. --- The content is very hollow, relying on the name to deceive buyers into paying. --- I've seen too many of these books, destined to gather dust after purchase. --- Indeed, achievement doesn't equal the ability to express; there's a big gap. --- You still need to find stuff written by people who actually do things; don't be fooled by fame. --- There are indeed many flaws; my classmate also complained about this book. --- Under the halo of fame, anything can be sold, but the quality is worrying.

Ha, I knew that most celebrity books are just paying the IQ tax. Just look at their biographies—full of logical flaws and still considered treasures. Really, success ≠ good writing, far from it. Web3 needs genuine ideas, not a big shot's self-marketing manual. Fame doesn't equal depth of insight; why does this still need to be reminded? I really didn't expect that just one book could fool so many newbies.
