The little friend asked a soul-searching question: How to make money?
I said: Trading!
She asked again: What is trading?
I wanted to say "buy low and sell high" like $BTC $ETH , but then I thought about how to describe the contract, and this seemed too superficial.
Still, I seriously thought about giving the most honest answer:
The world is full of inconsistencies—information asymmetry, different time preferences, and the unknown future. The trader's job is to take on the uncertainty that others are unwilling to bear and establish connections in those gaps.
The highest-level traders do not trade assets but their own cognitive boundaries; for example, #大夫 is my understanding of the bull market at 50x leverage. Many people who trade privately seek 我 for his orders; he is trading cognitive boundaries.
She laughed, and I knew she didn't understand...
But I believe she will slowly understand.
