Recently, the blockchain has been impotent; the focus is not on what to engage in, but on how to preserve wealth.

I was born into a family of speculators, three generations of them; my grandfather started real estate speculation in the 1990s, my parents were trading stocks in the new millennium, and I trade cryptocurrencies. However, both my grandparents and parents experienced significant ups and downs, and in my generation, we are barely able to keep our heads above water. This aligns with the saying: "Gaining wealth is easy, but preserving it is hard."

A brief overview of the painful lessons my grandparents and parents faced in wealth preservation:

- My grandfather's generation had low education and read too little, lacking sufficient awareness, and was overly concerned with face-saving, lending money to others everywhere, leading to too many bad debts that could not be recovered, resulting in a broken capital chain and eventually falling into debt.

- My parents' generation seized the dividends and made some profits but did not earn enough. As they aged, they basically left the workforce, and there were no good job opportunities available; the earnings from working might even be less than from trading stocks, so they simply stopped working.

With these lessons in mind, I am not very gambling-inclined, but I remain in the game because I can control my positions, allowing me to earn significantly more than my salary. Due to these lessons, I always feel a sense of urgency and anxiety, thinking about seizing as many opportunities as possible in the limited time I have.

However, unlike the previous generation, I have many more options, which is an advantage of youth; time is on my side. Given the current situation, working a traditional job seems impossible, so besides trading cryptocurrencies, I am focusing more on honing practical skills and gaining experience in other markets.

Two non-conflicting approaches:

1. Implement the speculative route of Mrs. Watanabe in the global market, allocating more stable and low-volatility positions.

2. Broaden my horizons and deepen skills in certain areas, always maintaining a competitive edge that can be monetized.

Regarding the second point, it needs to combine some of my judgments and thoughts about the future. The core competitive advantage in the future may revolve around who can better collaborate with AI and who can innovate more effectively; the gig economy and the organizational form of one-person companies will develop further, and the business model will undergo a more thorough iteration, allowing everyone to become a piece of LEGO.
