Short YouTube monologue by Kardec Trader arguing that opinions lack value without "skin in the game" or demonstrable real-world experience. The speaker stresses wanting proof (ownership, prior execution at scale, real-world "war" experience) before accepting advice on investing or business-building.
I think unless you have skin in the game, your opinion doesn't matter. If you come to me and you're like, hey, bro, buy this stock. And I'm like, okay, well, how much skin in the game do you have? And you own nothing. I don't really care about your opinion. If you come to me and you're trying to teach me how to build a certain business, you're trying to teach me how to do something at a certain scale, I want to see the proof that you've done it. Because anyone can read off a book and take that information or watch a YouTube video and kind of make it into their own opinions and, you know, way they want to teach it. But I think people, people that have been through actual war, have the real wisdom. So if I want to learn something, the first thing I look at is, all right, show me the proof.
