After more than twenty years of working in traditional industries, I have begun to re-examine the matter of making money. Recently, while researching dual-currency investment products, a question popped into my mind—why do we sell our lives for low returns?

**The Harsh Truth About Traditional Industries**

Have you done the math? By 2025, the average annual net profit margin for China's traditional industries will be only 5-8%. What does this mean? It means bearing billions in revenue, managing hundreds of employees, and taking on countless operational risks, yet earning only 8 cents net profit per year. This is not making money; it’s exchanging life for a meager return.

**Efficiency Differences in Digital Assets**

Compare this to current dual-currency investment products, which often have annualized returns of 100% or even higher. This is not a fairy tale; it’s real market data. The return efficiency that might take a decade in traditional industries can appear in digital assets within a year. The underlying logic is simple—extreme liquidity premiums turn traditional "heavy assets" into digital "light assets."

**But Don’t Be Blinded by Numbers**

That said, chasing high returns with full position is gambling, not investing. Twenty years in industry have taught me a core principle: making money is a marathon, not a 100-meter dash.

Three key understandings must be clarified: First, proceed step by step, using the patience of "phased construction" in traditional industries to allocate assets—don’t try to eat the elephant in one bite. Second, understand what’s behind the returns—100% annualized yield is essentially compensation for bearing specific price volatility risks; understanding this is crucial to mastering it. Third, adhere to long-termism—those who can tolerate 5-8% in traditional industries often have the strongest mental resilience in the crypto market.

In 2026, I will enter the market with capital—not gambling, but using the stability of traditional industries to harvest the "dividends" of the digital age. The strongest investors are always those who understand both risk control and opportunity.
