In the past, people hoped to change the entire world; today, they only hope to protect themselves wisely and handle things well at the smallest unit of the self.
This is more akin to a spiritual symptom of an era, an emotional complex of an era. Everyone feels powerless and lost at the turning points of the times.
People are beginning to no longer be willing to take on long-term responsibilities for distant rewards, nor are they willing to believe that sacrificing the present will inevitably bring upward mobility.
In their mindset and behavior, people are beginning to defend rather than expand

Society as a whole also has its own “spirit”; take a walk through the streets of a major city, and you can see the character of this era.
How strong people’s desire to move upward is, whether they are willing to make long-term commitments, and how accepting they are of differences. The world operates in cycles—some are short, while others are long.

Meditation is just zoning out.
Don’t overcomplicate or sanctify meditation. How could anyone truly see every single one of their thoughts? That is merely the illusion visible in the present moment.
Zoning out is a form of wisdom. To truly zone out, the mind must contain nothing; the outside world must not be in the mind, and nothing internal must have arisen either—simply abiding in this presence.
How can anything pass through if nothing can perceive it? How can anything be felt if nothing exists in the first place?
It is all just illusion; thoughts are nothing but illusions. I make no

If you have looked a little more deeply into the banking system, you would not doubt the value of cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency is a financial philosophy that claims to advance a left-wing narrative but is in fact extremely right-wing.
Bitcoin was created around the idea of egalitarian decentralization, but its actual use is closer to pure financial freedom.
Therefore, the philosophy of cryptocurrency most closely resembles Hayekian libertarianism. I cannot say whether this is good or bad, but cryptocurrency has its own meaning and value—when the traditional financial system becomes inc

The malice in online public opinion toward unmarried women over 30 essentially reflects men’s sexual repression and existential crisis.
As the economy declines and the marriage market becomes imbalanced, large numbers of men cannot find partners or feel that they “don’t measure up” to women’s standards for choosing a partner. As a result, unmarried women over 30 are turned into scapegoats for public attacks, portrayed as having “unrealistically high standards”—a retaliatory narrative created by men.
When everyone’s standard of living declines, malice and hostility grow. People need to choose s

I realize that many people in intimate relationships compete with each other without realizing it.
Father and son, mother and daughter, romantic partners: admiring the strong yet feeling sorry for themselves, envious yet jealous, supportive yet competitive.
Gentleness is a virtue because it is a form of support rather than competition.
A person’s desire to appear strong stems precisely from their own weakness.

I remember that in Hong Kong in 2024, at an event, someone asked me: How much money do you think is enough to achieve financial freedom?
I said I had never thought about that question. I knew nothing about the prices of houses, cars, or luxury goods, so it was impossible for me to think about such a question.
Wealth is another kind of shackle, because people’s desires and needs expand as their wealth grows. Wealth creates desire, and desire in turn drives wealth.
True freedom lies not in the amount of money, but in the breadth of one’s mind.
A good philosopher would finish after writing the pr

In my next life, I would like to be a beautiful young woman from Shanghai.
I must be beautiful—beautiful enough to be peerless, magnificent, self-reliant and independent, beautiful enough to take whatever I want.
Beautiful enough to intoxicate three thousand guests with flowers filling the hall, beautiful enough to see all the flowers of Chang’an in a single day, beautiful enough to laugh skyward and stride out the door, beautiful enough to be the youngest among seventeen.
Beautiful enough to disregard the consequences, beautiful enough to be noble and haughty, beautiful enough to captivate th

I don't work in industries with too few scammers.
A high number of scammers indicates that the market is in a golden window of "information asymmetry + capital inflows + regulatory absence."

Making money is often not that exciting, while losing money is so spectacularly eventful.
The moments when you truly make big money are often when you “do nothing”: hold on, don’t sell, don’t use leverage, don’t impulsively meddle. These moments of “doing nothing” do not make a story.
Losing money is the opposite—behind every liquidation is a series of spectacularly bad decisions: greedily adding to a position, refusing to cut losses, borrowing money to go all in, and emotionally trading for revenge.
Making money is entropy reduction; losing money is entropy increase. Entropy increase happens

Representative figures with high openness, high neuroticism, and low conscientiousness:

A personality type with an extremely high ceiling and an extremely low floor. The key is to establish complementarity between rules and execution.

Greed: Always wanting to capture the entire pump, refusing to accept “making less,” and treating unrealized profits as something already lost.
Anger: When suffering losses, attributing them to external factors—blaming the recommender, the market maker, or the market for being unreasonable, instead of reviewing one’s own decisions.
Delusion: Clinging to existing holdings, selectively accepting bullish information while ignoring bearish information, and treating one’s position as an extension of oneself.
The three poisons have the same source: greed says “I want more,” anger says “I shouldn’t lo

When you are too intent on making a divine move, you make it harder to make one.
You should not care about the outcome of winning or losing, or the numbers of profit and loss; you should only make judgments based on the facts.
Any factor unrelated to objective facts is the “self.” No-self is Zen.
Make vows driven by attachment to the self, while holding a mind free of self.
Ambitious people cannot let go of the outcome; those who can let go of the outcome have no ambition. Between attachment to the self and no-self, the harmony of the two is wisdom.
All phenomena are cause and effect; the mind

When you sell too early and miss out on a 10-million gain, it means you have the ability to make 100 million.
The opportunity you see must be repeatable.

Among students at Harvard, Stanford, and MIT, the proportion from top 1% income households is dozens of times that of those from the bottom 20%.
More than 60% of those on the Forbes 400 list of billionaires come from middle-class or wealthier families, while fewer than 20% truly came from nothing.
The probability of being admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University through Beijing’s college entrance examination is 15 times that of Jiangsu Province and 30 times that of Henan Province.
Those who truly fight their way up from the bottom either have extraordinary talent that renders resource dispari

It is not hardship that creates the strong; rather, the strong actively choose high-risk, high-reward paths, and hardship is a byproduct of that path.
Heaven does not send hardship down to test you, but geniuses themselves choose high-odds tracks dense with hardship.
Although the mainstream internet believes that hardship should not be “sanctified,” this argument already existed more than a decade ago; in reality, hardship is quite sacred, and is almost an inevitable experience for every strong person, because the strong choose pioneering innovation, complex environments, and risk.
It is not t

I feel that much of what Fan Wei and Zhao Benshan have performed is excellent.
To date, only two works have revealed the essence of life and humanity’s compromise with and transcendence of the absurd: one is *Faust*, and the other is *Ma Dashuai*.
*Faust* tells of an intellectual who exhausts every means in pursuit of meaning, makes a deal with the devil, and experiences love, power, beauty, and creation, only to discover in the end that the moment of saying “Stay, you are so beautiful” is the moment of death. The pursuit itself is meaning; attainment is the end.
*Ma Dashuai* tells of a northe

When the internet and consulting have also become traditional industries, and talent is migrating to AI, robotics, and fintech, then we should know this:
The era is changing—great opportunities, painful pressure, and the cycle is turning—while most people are still not prepared until fate forces them into a painful, compelled transformation.

Many complex indicators can be misleading, but in most cases price, trading volume, OI, and the funding rate are indeed real.
When price falls while OI increases and the funding rate turns negative, it means shorts are aggressively building positions.
When price rises while OI increases and the funding rate turns negative, it means spot is being aggressively bought.
One of these implies the start of a short-squeeze行情, and the other implies abandoning the bid.
Amid the changes, price action is one of the few values that isn’t a deviation. The fun of trading lies in it.
Do you understand who you
