Most people get stuck at the first million, not because they don't work hard, but because the rules are fundamentally different.

Poor people use the POW model: they compete with physical strength, time, and desperately exchange effort for money.

Rich people operate on the POS model: the more money they have, the faster their returns, they can even get rich while lying down.

The world is inherently unfair.

Especially in modern finance—it is designed as alchemy for the wealthy.

Those with principal only need to avoid reckless actions; a basic understanding of average levels is enough for them to snowball their wealth;

but for those without principal?

You must acknowledge a harsh reality: luck accounts for at least 30%; otherwise, you won't even have a chance to break through.

Projecting back to the crypto world is even simpler—

With a small principal, don't talk about perspective, don't talk about value investing, don't talk about being friends with time.

You are not qualified to be friends with time; what you need to do is—

Be the enemy of the principal. You need to eliminate it and let it grow.

Once the principal starts rolling,

only then do you have “perspective.”

Only then do you have “value.”

Only then do you qualify to talk about your first million.
