These 10 economic principles can make you outperform 99.9% of the people around you
People who want financial freedom often focus on “earning more,” but what truly creates the gap is decision quality.
What you lack is not money, but the ability to see costs.
Economics does not teach you how to get rich; it teaches you to make fewer mistakes. Each of the 10 principles below can help you rethink time, money, and choices.
1. Opportunity cost: When you choose A, you quietly give up B.
This idea can be traced back to the Austrian School in the 19th century.

Making money in U is hard; making money in U every day is even harder. Last year, I used 6,000 U in principal to trade BTC and ETH, growing it to 320k U. This year, with 2,600 U in principal, I have traded gold and grown it to 240k U so far. I’m Feiyang, a Sesame streamer who rose to prominence through a comeback PK. I specialize in BTC and ETH and don’t touch anything else; I don’t do short-term trading. I’m Feiyang, so brothers, call me Brother Fei. In this vast sea of people, meeting is fate. Let’s join hands to create a glorious future—first, let’s earn that first small goal!

Some of my students aren’t as active on social media because they took my advice of tuning out all noise, and focusing on what their mentor has taught them.
These are the results. This student of mine has done well over 200k of payouts since we’ve started working together. This 30k from lucid is just 2 months of his trading payouts documented on 1 single firm.
Me and my team of educators are relentless.

💰 $126 million in net inflows, the market is watching Gate
According to PANews, Gate recorded approximately $126 million in net inflows over the past month, ranking third among centralized exchanges globally.
Meanwhile, Gate’s global user base has surpassed 61 million, with services covering more than 150 countries and regions.
As funds continue to flow in, the platform’s user base is also steadily expanding.
However, what is more worth discussing than the ranking is: Which trading opportunities will these funds flow into next?
BTC, GT, popular altcoins, or new market hotspots?

Those holding positions have been suffering these past few days, but if you’re only focused on how much it has fallen, you’re looking in the wrong place.
That CryptoPunk on my list is still standing by the 83000 level he mentioned yesterday—he didn’t mention the size of the drop, only one condition: if this week’s candlestick closes back up, we’re still in a range.
As for the more chilling part that followed: this is only the early stage of the bull market, and what we’re seeing now really doesn’t count for much; when the sharp drops come later, they’ll be larger than this—I’m not vouching for

OPENAI’S REVENUE NUMBERS SPARK A NEW DEBATE: WHAT IS THE REAL VALUE BEHIND THE AI BOOM?
The AI industry is entering a phase where financial transparency matters as much as technological innovation. OpenAI’s reported annualized revenue figures have triggered fresh questions among investors, but the biggest issue may not be declining demand. It may be how revenue is calculated, presented, and interpreted by the market.

$W This 12% bullish candle, and I almost became that idiot chasing the pump again.
From 0.0151 to 0.0187, the 24-hour price swing was nearly 24 points, with $46.9M in trading volume. I entered at 0.0162 after seeing it rise from the bottom with increased volume, thinking it should at least test the previous high around 0.0175. It did reach it. I placed an order at 0.0183 and sold 70%, leaving 30% to bet on a breakout above 0.0187. You saw what happened next: it is now at 0.0173, and most of the profit on that 30% has been given back.

$NEAR +9.5% yet volume contracted, long stop-loss at 4.05
$NEAR surged onto CoinGecko's trending searches, currently at 4.943, 24h +9.5%, with an intraday range of 4.446–4.979. Trending is trending, but positions only trust the numbers. I'm bullish here and will only take longs with a stop-loss.

It rallied 9.5%, while the volume ratio was only 0.774. This contrast is interesting—the price-chasing crowd actually hasn't kept up after +99.07% in 30 days, and the current price is stuck at the high end of the 30-day range position at 0.806.

$STRK ’s strength is still intact, and crowding risk is rising
$STRK 24 hours +33.89%, current price 0.07463. The 1-hour and 4-hour RSI readings are 52 and 79, respectively. The strength is real, and so is the crowding. The question is not whether it can continue moving higher, but who will be willing to catch it on the first pullback.
Let’s return to the 24-hour range: the low is 0.05534 and the high is 0.07716. Where the current price of 0.07463 sits within this range will directly affect the meaning of the same signal. Near the high, the strength must prove that this is not a spike follo

Another hurdle cleared!
On October 9, 328.4 million SpaceX shares were unlocked, with a market value of over 50 billion yuan. As I guessed yesterday, the stock price adjusted down to a low of 160.6 yuan, then rebounded 1% to close at 162.6 yuan. There will be no trading over the weekend today and tomorrow, so this hurdle should be considered cleared once again!
The next hurdle is the 328.4 million shares unlocking on October 26.
As I guessed a few days ago, SpaceX will fluctuate and adjust between 160 and 176 for a period of time, solidifying this base. Before the Q3 earnings report is release
