Amen.
And this "We don't care what other people think because we know we're on to something" energy she's talking about, I can feel it in the bitcoin space.
However, I do wonder how you should talk to someone with ambitious dreams, but that your honest assessment is that they're too much of a dreamer and not enough of a doer.

I'll usually advise these people to take more risk that'll be data-yielding (like talking to people). You have to flank them because no one wants to be told who they are, yet if they're going to be successful they shouldn't mind discovering it for themselves.
More generally, it's hard to know whether you're talking the exceptions or the people for whom the rule exists. The best solution I've seen is to bury your advice in the right places where only the intended audience will find it.
She does a good job dealing with this by explicitly addressing a group that most people wouldn't publicly admit they belong to.
