You don't know what you don't know; sometimes people can think they do know what they're doing and they just haven't encountered situations otherwise. We were all new to programming once; no one would ever become a solid engineer if they prevented themselves from building anything out of fear of doing something wrong that they did not account for out of lack of experience.

This is where the 'unknown unknowns' quote comes in useful. I don't know anything about blockchain technology, but I know that I don't know anything about it. When you make software which involves handling people's information your first thought should be 'do I know all I need to know about handling this information properly?', and your second thought should be 'do I really know all I need to know about handling this information properly?'.
