I agree that Craig very often chooses to talk with great confidence about topics he doesn't know enough about. Some of us are experts in some topics and will most certainly notice this when he ventures into topics we are expert at and he clearly has a superficial knowledge about. But that doesn't mean he did not invent Bitcoin or doesn't have the capacity to invent it. On that specific topic, I dare you to point to someone who understands it better. And this trait of talking confidently about everything in relaxed settings is characteristic of many great minds. Very intelligent and creative people often like to talk confidently albeit loosely about any topic being asked about. One must learn to filter what he says in such circumstances and take it has just an opinion, not an absolute expert one.
