Real big money has never been earned through hard work! You need to understand the true wealth truth in the crypto world.
Recently, the nationwide buzz about SpaceX going public and creating wealth has completely torn open the cruelest truth about wealth: working hard can only make a living, while catching trends and luck can make you explode in wealth.
On June 12th, Eastern Time, SpaceX officially listed on NASDAQ, not only bringing Musk’s wealth close to 8 trillion RMB but also spawning 4,400 new millionaires. Among these over four thousand new wealthy individuals, the vast majority are not industry giants or senior executives, but ordinary people just like anyone else.
An ordinary welder who joined 11 years ago, initially earning only $28 an hour, accidentally received stock awards from the company, and chose to hold onto the shares instead of cashing out. Ten years of unnoticed dormancy, now the stock holdings have skyrocketed to $880k, far surpassing countless high-salary workers. There’s also a 37-year-old employee, who has been working diligently for 12 years, holding 100k shares, with a net worth exceeding $16 million. Young and completely financially free, he even admits that this sudden wealth is absurd and unbelievable.
Many people, after seeing this, only envy luck, but in fact, this is exactly the same wealth logic as in our crypto circle.
Ninety percent of the market participants stay up late every day watching charts, frequently chasing highs and cutting lows, repeatedly engaging in high-frequency trading. Relying on exhausting time and diligent effort, they end up not only failing to make money but also suffering repeated losses and getting trapped.
The real big earners, however, never suffer from the hardship of diligence; they only benefit from trend dividends. Just like the old-timers in crypto who early on invested in quality potential projects and held onto mainstream coins at low prices—no complicated operations, just understanding the track, being confident in the trend, and holding long-term. In the end, they doubled or even hundredfold their gains through a market rally.
The capital market is the fairest and also the cruelest: hard work can only earn a modest fixed salary, while cognition and opportunity are what allow you to catch the wealth rain poured down by the era.
SpaceX’s ordinary people getting rich is because they caught the wave of the space race; the wealth reversal in crypto is because they seized the red-hot opportunity of digital finance.
Don’t worry about short-term ups and downs; what truly widens the gap between rich and poor is not diligent chart watching, but the vision to position at low points, the patience for long-term holding, and the luck to go with the trend.
The market is never short of opportunities. Keep a calm mindset, choose the right targets, and stick to the trend. In the next wave of wealth opportunities, ordinary people can also turn the tide and reverse their fortunes!
