After this wave of Futu, Tiger, and Changqiao, I increasingly feel that many things are actually quite realistic.
Right now, the most encouraged actions are nothing more than buying a house, buying a car, getting married, paying social security, and trading A-shares; but what is truly restricted and watched are overseas accounts, U.S. stocks, off-exchange gold, cryptocurrencies, and external networks.
Sometimes you'll find that if something has no value at all, people usually don't care whether you touch it or not.
Of course, I’m not saying that all restrictions are necessarily good, nor am I encouraging anyone to oppose certain rules.
It's just that over time, you'll realize that "the right to choose" itself is actually a scarce resource.
Many people think rules restrict behavior, but in fact, often what they restrict is a person's perspective and thinking boundaries.
You can choose not to do it, but at least you should know that there are other paths you can take.
