Currently, many people deeply feel that the threshold for wealth accumulation seems to be quietly rising, and a sense of 'slower class mobility' is spreading throughout the social fabric. This is not entirely resentment, but more like a complex picture that is difficult to avoid at a specific stage of social development—the pattern of resource allocation is stabilizing, and the legendary paths for grassroots rise are no longer as broad as in the past.
As a member of the masses, most of us do not possess abundant initial capital or extensive resource networks. The starting point of reality determines that feasible paths often need to have characteristics such as 'low startup costs', 'relatively open entry mechanisms', and 'potentially rich returns'. At this moment, recklessly diving into saturated markets like dining and milk tea, which are already red oceans, may not be a wise choice for most ordinary entrepreneurs.
After observation and reflection, there are two paths that still shine with a glimmer of hope worth striving for ordinary people in the current environment:
Firstly, create a personalized content influence self-media IP.
In the face of skepticism that 'the track has become overly crowded', I deeply understand. Indeed, compared to the early days of wild growth, the difficulty has certainly increased today. However, an undeniable fact is: the stories of grassroots comebacks have never ceased. You can still clearly see countless previously unknown individuals successfully building their influence maps through unique content value, continuous effort, or precise market entry, achieving a leap in life. The feasibility of this path has been repeatedly validated by one vibrant case after another—what it tests is not only creativity and perseverance but also a keen capture of the era's emotions and user needs.
Secondly, embrace the opportunities and challenges in the cryptocurrency asset field.
This is destined to be a controversial choice. I too have harbored deep doubts and viewed it as an 'illusion' akin to a castle in the air. Like many others, my investment journey began in the A-shares market, transitioned to the US stock market, and only then did I venture into this realm filled with uncertainties. The A-shares market is limited by its overall mechanism, making explosive growth opportunities relatively scarce; while the US stock market brings together the world's top companies, its high barriers to entry and mature market characteristics often lead small retail investors to seek high odds opportunities in high-risk derivatives (such as options).
The debate about its 'essence' may have become secondary for ordinary people seeking to 'change their fate'. The core issue is: does it offer possibilities beyond traditional paths? My personal experience is that only after achieving substantial gains through cryptocurrency assets did I re-examine and partially understand its internal logic. I was once a staunch believer in value investing; however, for ordinary people with limited resources, an annualized steady growth of 20% may lose its allure in the face of tremendous life pressure and the desire to cross social classes. Moreover, even in value investing, the severe fluctuations in the process are enough to easily interrupt the seemingly beautiful 'compound interest' process.
It must be emphasized: I am not advocating that cryptocurrency assets are a perfect paradise. They resemble a wild 'gold rush' in the digital age—as a relatively new field, the explosive growth potential it contains (such as the possibility of doubling wealth in a single day) indeed far exceeds that of many mature markets, and similar opportunity windows are not rare in the cryptocurrency space. However, this opportunity and risk are like two sides of a coin. Once you step in, you must be fully aware that it follows the harsh 'law of the jungle', embracing the possibility of sudden wealth while being mentally and financially prepared for potential total loss. Success is always a minority at the top of the pyramid.
Conclusion:
Finding cracks in seemingly hardened soil is the fate of ordinary people today. Whether choosing to refine and cultivate in the realm of content creation to shape irreplaceable personal value, or choosing to cautiously navigate the turbulent waters of the cryptocurrency world to seek excess returns—both require profound self-awareness, continuous learning and evolution, and the courage to take risks.
There is no shortcut to success; every path is filled with thorns and temptations. What matters is to understand its essence, assess one's endurance, and always maintain a clear sense of awe before jumping into the fray. Although the road ahead is rugged, the starlight does not disappoint those who keep moving forward. May we all find our own little boat in the torrents of the times.
