Being “realistic”?

My whole life, I’ve been criticized critiqued or commented on not being “realistic“, being “crazy“; etc. But, I wonder if I’m just like a carte Blanche, first principles type of thinking like a scientist.

For example, I’ve been bullish and believed and bitcoin ever since 2017, 2018. I’ve seen the booms and bus, and now that bitcoin is finally about 70,000 a bitcoin, $71,000 a bitcoin… All time new high… now the opinions and thoughts of others who said “I wasn’t doing real investing“; what do they think now?
