🧐 Every era quietly chooses its sacrifices. When you mistake the era's dividends for personal ability, that's the beginning of destruction. Last night, I met with an old friend for the afternoon, and we talked about two people. Both are bosses from the real estate era, the kings of the previous era. Due to the downturn in real estate and entangled debts, they indeed considered transformation. A few years ago, a friend introduced us, and we had a brief contact, but our advice didn't have any effect; a few days ago, I asked again, one is already behind bars, and the other is currently entangled in lawsuits due to various disputes and is under surveillance, and could fall into crisis at any moment. It’s truly sad! They both once stood in the “right position.” The problem is: when a person takes the wind of the era as their innate talent, the danger has already begun. Dividends can create an illusion: thinking that judgment comes from oneself, thinking that a sense of rhythm is a skill, thinking “I can do it” because I really can. But once the era turns, all the misjudged “abilities” will be settled one by one. Looking further ahead, the crypto world is the same, only faster, more emotional, and illusions are more addictive. I think I’ve said many times that true strength is never about how much money you make at the wind’s peak, but what remains after the wind stops. I believe many people claim to understand investing, but they don’t really understand! Because those who haven't experienced these things are unlikely to understand what I’m talking about. No matter the industry or track, the rise of an era can happen in an instant. It won't notify you in advance to exit; it will only suddenly take away the wind you rely on for survival on a certain morning. At that moment, whether you can withstand this wave is the key!
