Recently, I’ve been thinking about a question: what kind of people can truly become stronger?

I’ve found that the biggest difference between the strong and ordinary people isn’t that they’re smarter or work harder, but that they have an intangible presence. The strong speak less, don’t like to explain themselves, and don’t feel the need to prove anything to others. The more you care about other people’s opinions—and the more urgently you feel the need to argue your case—the easier it is to expose your anxiety. On the other hand, those who stay quiet often command more resources and opportunities.

Here’s another painful observation: great people never proactively provide resources to others. We often see some people spend all day helping others and sharing their experience, yet end up with no one grateful—only to be treated as a given. The strong understand one truth—your value is reflected in what you can create, not in what you share.

As for walking alone versus moving with a group, this is something I feel especially deeply. When I was young, I was also afraid of being isolated and always wanted to blend into some circle. But later I realized that hanging out with a group of people who think the same way is, in fact, just becoming like them. The truth Tetris teaches us is: being in a group equals disappearing. The strong are often solitary—like wild beasts that always walk alone, while cattle and sheep form herds.

People who truly make money may have many friends on the surface, but very few real confidants. They won’t waste time on meaningless drinking meetups and social gatherings, and they also won’t give their hearts to shallow people. That’s why it’s said, “Who you associate with is the key”—the quality of a strong person’s network determines the height of their achievements.

There’s also a point many people overlook: at its core, this world is a game that’s been designed. Some people run at high speed in real life, controlling the rules; others get addicted to virtual games and waste their youth. Ordinary people see others leisurely sipping coffee and think about how to become that person; the strong think about how to become the one selling coffee. Every day, what kinds of people you study directly determines your fate.

Finally, the most important point: people are pushed into it. The strong dare to take risks, dare to step into traps, and dare to fail. Every setback is fertilizer that helps you grow. When you’re young, if you don’t step into traps, then when you’re old you’ll only step into bigger ones. The essence of society is resource plundering—rather than being afraid of being plundered, it’s better to use that plundering to see the truth and recognize your own shortcomings. Improve your cognition, strengthen yourself—that’s the only path to becoming stronger.

Recently, many new opportunities have been appearing in the market, but I’ve found that the same old saying still applies best: strong people see opportunities that others can’t see, rather than following everyone to chase hot trends. Whether it’s the volatility in the spot market or the opportunities from new coins, true strength always focuses on long-term value creation—not short-term FOMO.
