In the crypto world, some well-known people seem to keep losing money, yet always have more money to lose. It is not necessarily because they are especially good at making money, nor does it necessarily mean that the money was originally theirs. Once a person’s accounts, addresses, projects, and network of relationships become large enough, they may have turned into a conduit for funds: someone may use their channels for matched trading, generating trading volume, moving funds, or even laundering money. So what you see may be “this person has lost a lot of money again,” while the reality may a

The failure of the old order is not limited to China; the United States and the entire world are undergoing the same structural transition. The expansion of globalization, low interest rates, population growth, technological dividends, and a relatively stable international order over the past several decades jointly shaped a path for the American middle class: good school → good company → high salary → buying a home → asset appreciation → stable retirement. Essentially, individuals entered a continuously expanding social system and then shared in the dividends of its growth.
But today, the glo

The ultimate ability of ordinary people is to already be in the right position before the future arrives.

People often DM me asking, “Can you follow me back?” I say, “Sure. I generally follow back those who have subscribed to me on X for more than six months.” Then the other person goes silent. Sometimes you need to understand that many things in this world can be obtained, but not necessarily for free. Truly valuable relationships, attention, resources, and connections often come with a threshold. You have to be willing to give something first before the world will respond to you seriously.

When you can easily see anyone’s true colors—even their innermost thoughts—you often move instantly from anger, to understanding, and finally to acceptance.

Growth often begins with a stark mismatch: your understanding has already seen farther, but your abilities, resources, and position are still where they were, so you feel anxious and think, “My abilities don’t match my ambition.” But this is not failure; it is a sign that your sense of self is beginning to awaken. Many people do not lack ideals when they are young; they are simply busy meeting the expectations of their parents, society, and circumstances, without enough security to ask, “What do I truly want?” Only after experiencing enough of reality do people shift from “Who do others want m

What ultimately determines what an AI will become is often not what it claims it can do today, but what it already has behind it. Genes determine probabilities, while resources shape the path. Gemini is backed by Google Search, YouTube, Maps, and its knowledge systems, so it is naturally closer to “understanding the world”; Grok is backed by X’s real-time information stream, so it is closer to “understanding the present”; ChatGPT is connected to Microsoft, Azure, GitHub, and the enterprise ecosystem, making it more likely to move in a more “future-oriented” direction; MetaAI, meanwhile, is bac

The power of aspiration is the force that drives a person steadily and persistently in a particular direction over the long term. But the truly greater power lies not merely in strengthening individual will, but in aligning one’s will with greater laws, the spirit of the times, and the order of life. You still have aspirations, still take action, and still create, yet you are no longer fixated on making the world submit to you. Instead, you become part of the whole, moving with the momentum and acting in harmony with it. At this point, the “self” becomes smaller, but the power it can bear and

The true purpose of life is to continually elevate yourself through the real experiences of wealth, career, relationships, success, and failure. Wealth expands your choices, career tests your abilities, setbacks temper your character, and experience elevates your understanding. All of life’s external accumulations ultimately settle into a person’s abilities, perspective, and spiritual depth. The true masterpiece completed in this lifetime is always yourself.

Many people make their first fortune through ability, courage, and the tailwinds of their era, but their understanding, mindset, and risk management often have yet to catch up with their wealth—so it can come quickly and disappear just as quickly. What truly determines how far someone can go is whether they can rebuild themselves after their first fall: understand cycles, respect risk, comprehend human nature, and develop a new understanding of themselves. Becoming wealthy for the first time proves you have the ability to make money; losing your wealth for the first time completes an upgrade i

In China, the people who can still do business basically fall into three categories: either they are ruthless enough to squeeze suppliers and employees, exploit consumers, sell substandard goods, and engage in false advertising, turning other people’s profits into their own; or they are foolish enough to subsidize their companies with their own savings, time, and lives, ultimately “contributing to society”; or they have powerful backing, holding licenses, resources, distribution channels, and connections that keep others from entering at all. The hardest people to survive, ironically, are the

In every era, the information that truly holds value is different:
1980s–1990s: What was scarce was products, channels, and supply. Whoever could identify demand first and dare to go into business could make money.
2000s–2015: What was scarce was internet traffic and connectivity. Whoever knew where traffic was moving could seize the opportunities.
2015–2025: What was scarce was attention, insight, and personal branding. Whoever could spot opportunities earlier, understand trends, and spread them had the advantage.
2026—the AI era: What will be scarce is the ability to judge, verify, and execu

Some people always say they don’t know where to find demand. In fact, the simplest way is to observe yourself first: wherever you spend your money, that’s where the demand is; wherever you’re willing to keep spending, a business model is often hidden. Because real demand isn’t about what people say they want, but what they are ultimately willing to pay for. Understanding your own bills is essentially looking at the most authentic map of demand in this era.

After hearing a “good” principle, what matters is not whether you have become its propagator, but whether it has made you a better version of yourself. If it only makes you better at talking, it has merely given you more to talk about; if it changes your choices, behavior, and life, only then does it truly deserve to be called a “good principle.”

The world is changing, and everyone is looking for new opportunities. Some say, go to Polymarket. But it brings together some of the smartest people in the world, with the fastest access to information and the strongest skills in strategic competition. If you have not previously demonstrated particularly strong information-gathering, judgment, or trading abilities, this is probably not your opportunity. Real opportunities often do not come from going head-to-head with the smartest people, but from finding changes that most people have not yet reacted to.

Nowadays, the biggest predicament for many people is not a lack of opportunities, but not knowing what to do next. When at a low point, they are trapped by past failures, emotions, and exhaustion; although they should start over, they have no energy to get moving. Once they have just established a bit of order, they become unsure which task to tackle first because there are too many directions and the goals are too far away. So what is truly scarce is not answers, but the ability to see clearly where you are at any moment and find the “next step.” Life does not require figuring everything out

In this era, the best job is not working for someone else, but having the ability to make money independently. Platforms will disappear, roles will change, and companies will lay off employees, but as long as you can continue creating value, identify demand, and monetize it, you will always have the ability to start over.

The past only provides information, the goal provides direction, and the present is for action.

Getting rich is both very difficult and very easy. The difficult part is that most people know about compound interest, but cannot endure the long, slow period before its effects become visible.

For many people, the first half of life is essentially not about being themselves, but about breaking free from the things imposed on them by their external environment. Family gives you boundaries, society gives you standards, and experience makes you pay the tuition, until you become capable of recognizing what others have put into you and what truly belongs to you. Maturity is not about having seen more of the world, but about gradually rebuilding your values, judgment, and inner order. A person’s true breakthrough often comes after this: no longer rushing to prove themselves, no longer bei
