Getting screwed by untrustworthy people would be more misses. But returns are made on the hits, so I don't think that would matter. Definitely the latter issue of investing in something technically interesting would matter a great deal. Maybe you're seeing a wave before others with your insight. But maybe you focus on the tech and not the traction or the path to scale. But knowing the tech is an advantage!
