Very few people can truly restrain human nature.



Human nature contains greed, aversion to loss, laziness, blindness, chaotic logic, and a habit of blaming others for mistakes. Confidence, jealousy, and a love for showing off are all part of human nature.



It's hard for me to say that these are weaknesses of human nature or that they are bad. Human nature is just human nature, a habit that emerges solely for the sake of survival. The greatest need of a person is to survive.



I often heard that a certain person is very strong, and I always thought it was about some strong ability or a particularly strong aspect. Of course, they are stronger in those aspects than the average person. But the core of it is that these people have a strong ability to adhere to principles.



I used to manage a community of nearly 500 people, and I always called for buying Bitcoin. However, in the current bull market phase, when I asked them, all 10 out of 10 were not buying Bitcoin. They were all heavily invested in altcoins.



I repeatedly emphasized that newcomers should only buy BTC. For those with a risk appetite, at least 60% should be in Bitcoin, which is to guarantee that you won't lose and can still make money. However, very few adhere to the principle of not losing.



In the past few days, I've been selling USDT, and I would ask the other party where the funds came from, how long they’ve been held, and if they are paying personally.



I've stepped in it while selling USDT, so I set a principle for myself: I only use Alipay, only with familiar people, and they must pay personally.



If someone says their family member, wife, or girlfriend is paying, I refuse them all. Even if I know this person, I still refuse. It is what it is, because breaking this rule once will lead to breaking it a second time.



I will return it and ask for it to be done again. Although this is troublesome, it is a principle, and once you perfect it, it becomes very difficult to get your account frozen. Even if it gets frozen, it’s only at a secondary level, and the proportion of refunds is very small.



I am trying to arbitrage in the cryptocurrency circle to earn some money each month. I wrote about the feasibility of arbitrage online, and many friends wanted to try it. However, after I sent them the tutorial, there was no further response, no action taken, and no one registered with an exchange. I was astonished; to me, it was unbelievable.



The questions they ask leave me incredulous, like why they bought 10 coins and still can’t sell 0.3 of them. This person has obsessive-compulsive disorder; if I don't reply to their message, they feel uncomfortable. I have too many people on WeChat; every day someone asks me various questions. I've deleted nearly 7000 people. I only check my secondary account once a day. I've found it much easier.



It's astonishing that some people can be lazy about making money. I find it hard to believe. Is there anything more important than money besides life? I've heard some people have realized things that are more important than life, but I have poor comprehension; I haven't realized it yet and am still at a relatively shallow level.



I suddenly remembered something Elon Musk said: 60% of people in society are very lazy, and as long as you put in a little effort, you can surpass them. If you can focus on something for 3-5 years, you can surpass 90% of people. This guy was very profound; I suddenly understood.



The reason I'm not lazy is that I love money too much. Even if a beautiful woman wants to hang out with me today versus making money today, I will choose to make money. If a friend wants to hang out but today I can make money, I will definitely choose to make money.



People around me told me early on that as long as I had enough to spend, why work so hard? Just give up on making money. I usually smile and say, 'You will understand in the future.'



Last month, I went to Hunan and met an old friend. When I saw him, I said, 'I remember you saying that making a little money was enough to get by. Now your life isn’t bad; why are you anxious?' He said, 'I was young then. Now I have a family, and I've come to understand.' He is now 34 years old.



Because without money, you will lose everything. With little money, life will be difficult. The days without money once pierced my heart. Some people in our village who used to be considered wealthy are now fallen; they can't even come up with a few thousand yuan. I think their downfall is due to not having their own principles. Seeing how they are now makes me very alert, constantly pondering what rules they violated to end up like this. Having witnessed this is very profound.



A philosopher said that a life lived without reflection is not worth living. To put it bluntly, a life without money is devoid of any fun. I know some people will deny this, but that's probably because they are still young. Once you turn 35, you will find that my words are the truth. Without money, all your friends, relatives, familial ties, and love can easily drift away.



Why are women more sincere about money than men and understand it earlier? No woman over 35 does not love money. I have not met one who doesn't. This is their most sensitive topic. There was a master of flirting who wanted to break up after falling in love; when I asked how he did it, he said it was simple: borrowing money. I asked how much he borrowed, and he said it was 10 times her monthly salary. Once you ask to borrow money, the other person will dislike you, and from then on, you can stop initiating conversation. Then you naturally drift apart. I asked, 'What if the other person gives you 10 months of salary?' He said, 'I don't have that kind of charm.' I said, 'Failure.'



Making money through trading cryptocurrencies is sincere and requires the most principles.



I buy Dogecoin and Pepe. At this time, I feel it is reasonable for their price increase to surpass BTC. If it increases more than 10 times, that is unrealistic. Obvious things do not have huge profits. Things with huge profits necessarily lack visibility; if you want to buy something that makes 10 times, it must be something not mentioned in the market. Anything that has been on the radar generally caps out around three times. Too many people find out, and the market makers can't pull it up.



So whatever you buy, the expected return should be reasonable. Now, if you buy BTC, you should expect a 50% profit; if you buy ETH, you should expect 80%. Buying BNB or SOL should yield a double. That is a reasonable expectation, not a fantasy.



If you buy Dogecoin expecting to make 30 times or Ordi expecting to make 10 times, that is unrealistic.



Mr. Hu told me that he earned from airdrops and opened a lottery store to buy a big Mercedes.



Girlfriends have become more proactive.



I said that girls understand money better than men early on, but I know girls are right.



Men only understand this truth after 35, while girls understand it at 20.
