Making money boils down to two things.

The first is finding your niche—you need to have something that others don't. The second relies on information asymmetry—there are always places others haven't thought of.

If your niche has no advantage and everyone's skill level is about the same, then you're basically in trouble; losing money is unavoidable.

Losing money means having no funds. When you're out of money, you need to find ways; once you do, you can turn the situation around, and good things will naturally follow. This principle has been true since ancient times.

Laughing and then crying, there’s no information gap in the ecosystem either, this is just my daily life.

The concept of niche information gap has become tiresome; the key is still to have execution power, otherwise it's all just armchair strategizing.

The theory of niche information gap has been overused, but how many can truly address these two points? Most still end up losing money.

Niches and information gaps, that's true, but the ones who can really make money are still those crazy people willing to all-in.

That's right, but establishing a niche is easier to talk about than to do. How many people are stuck here?

Buddy, this theory sounds comfortable, but it doesn't hold up in real market cycles. Niche and information gap? Those are just survivor bias explanations. I've been doing quantitative analysis for five years, and the data shows that nine out of ten people fail at the execution level, not because they lack advantages. Losing money is often not due to lack of ideas, but because they get shaken out before the bottom formation. A risk warning—don't be fooled by this theory into going all-in.

Competing to survive or die, but you still need to have something unique; otherwise, you'll just be cannon fodder.

Niche and information gap, in simple terms, mean having a unique advantage. Without these two things, it’s indeed a loss.

That's correct, but the real problem is that most people have neither a niche nor an information advantage, and are just blindly gambling based on luck.
