It's just the nature of things and it transcends blockchain. Get an episilon ahead of the general public (waaaay easier in a young field like blockchain), promote yourself, and there you go. I got deeply interesting in Bitcoin in 2012. It was interested seeing all of these self-proclaimed experts in the field pop up--giving talks at conferences, etc. At first I was frustrated by such "charlatans" ("Hey! I don't think of myself as an expert and I know way more than that person..."), but then I realized that these are people who are passionate about subject, have learned a bit more than the average joe, and kudos to them for putting themselves out there and spreading their thoughts/learnings.
