When I was young, I always thought being poor was just temporary.

As I grew up, I realized that poverty isn't due to laziness but because from a young age, no one guided, taught, or gave opportunities.
You ask someone who has only known frugality since childhood to suddenly learn how to make money—it's really difficult.
Because in the world they've been exposed to, no one ever told them that money can also be earned through cognition, information, or courage.
Schools won't teach these things; they are better at teaching people to be obedient, stable, and not to make mistakes.
Then the internet, the crypto world, AI—came along.
That's when I first felt that ordinary people really have a chance to turn things around through information gaps,
even if you have no degree, no background, no resources—
as long as you're willing to research, stay up late, tinker—there's a real possibility to earn money that you once wouldn't even dare to imagine.
But this process is actually quite painful.
Many people only see others making money but don't see the late nights, the anxiety, the times when they had no money.
I used to think that after making money, life would be easier and happier.
But I found that's not true—when you earn A6, you'll want A7, then A8.
People will never be truly satisfied, especially in this fast-paced circle.
Today AI, tomorrow RWA, the day after Agent, and then a new narrative in just a few days.
Not checking social media for a day makes you feel like you're about to be eliminated.
The scariest part is that after a while, people start to distort reality, increasingly unable to tell what's real and what's just packaging.
Many people in real life might not even be able to afford a meal—yet they are already entrepreneurs, AI pioneers, Web3 mentors.
Some people especially love to pretend to be deep, talking about human nature, cognition, and underlying logic—
but in reality, they're just selling courses, memberships, and anxiety.
Too many in this era make money by creating anxiety because they know that most people's biggest fear isn't poverty but being left behind.
After AI came out, I feel this gap will only grow wider.
In the past, the difference between people was mostly education and resources.
Now it’s more like: whoever learns to use tools first and is willing to keep learning.
Some still ask if AI will replace them.
Some are already using AI to do the work of ten people a day.
Many think AI is just for chatting, but truly ruthless people are already using it for automation, matrix building, customer service, content creation, and arbitrage.
In the future, many will be eliminated,
but the ones who will be eliminated are never those who can't chat.
It's those who have already stopped learning.
