I'm not claiming that being good at computers means I must be good at investing.

I'm claiming that if I understand smart contract code, I'm good at evaluating a white paper's technical claims about a project being built with smart contract code.

Also I'm claiming this makes me better prepared to invest in these projects than, say, a cardiologist. But the SEC would be perfectly happy to let the cardiologist invest, while restricting the programmer who actually understands the industry.
